1 hour ago 2

close

The Denver Broncos punched their ticket to the postseason with a statement win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. It also gave them the opportunity to secure the AFC West crown and the conference’s top seed. The path is simple: keep winning, starting with a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Denver brings plenty of momentum into the matchup. It is riding an 11-game winning streak and an unbeaten home record dating back to October 2024. The Broncos also enter fresh off a convincing 34-26 win over Green Bay.

Despite Denver’s dominance, Jacksonville presents a serious challenge. The Jaguars have won five straight and won’t be intimidated as they look to make a statement before the playoffs.

Trevor Lawrence has powered Jacksonville (10-4) to the the top of the AFC South, and he’s playing the best football of his career. Fresh off a dominant six-touchdown performance against the Jets, he'll look to deliver another statement performance against the team many consider the NFL’s current best.
