| (MySportsbook) - The Denver Broncos will have one more opportunity to avoid arguably the greatest collapse in NFL history on Sunday night, when they travel to meet the San Diego Chargers in a game that will determine the AFC West champion. After beating the Chiefs (24-17) on Dec. 7, the Broncos were 8-5 and held a three-game lead on the 5-8 and second-place Chargers with three games to play.

Without help, however, New England will become just the second 11-5 team since NFL schedules were expanded to 16 games in 1978 to miss the playoffs. The 1985 Denver Broncos also missed the postseason with an 11-5 mark, although at that time only five teams from each conference made the playoffs, as opposed to the current six. Such a scenario would also make the Patriots the seventh Super Bowl runner-up in the past eigh |

By the time the Bills and Broncos kick off, Denver should already know the result of the Chargers/Buccaneers contest, and a San Diego road loss in that game would give the Broncos their first AFC West title and playoff berth since 2005.
