<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a></strong> will face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18. In an interesting move, head coach <strong>Sean Payton</strong> has decided to <strong>“steal” a player who was previously with Justin Herbert</strong> in order to boost <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a>’s offense</strong>.</p>



<p>Week 18 could be decisive for both the <strong>Broncos</strong> and the <strong>Chargers</strong>. Depending on what happens with Los Angeles in Week 17, the <strong>two teams could be playing for the AFC West title</strong> in the final regular-season game.</p>



<p>This matchup is expected to bring plenty of emotion to Empower Field at Mile High. Fortunately for the Broncos, they will <strong>receive extra help from a player who knows the Chargers organization very well</strong>.</p>



<h2>Broncos sign center Sam Mustipher off Chargers’ practice squad</h2>



<p>Winning in every way possible has been the motto for the Broncos this season. Denver has posted an <strong>impressive 13–3 record</strong>, but the AFC West title has not yet been clinched.</p>



<p>If the Chargers defeat the Texans in Week 17, the division would come down to Week 18. Fortunately for Denver, the <strong>team gained some inside knowledge by signing a player directly from Los Angeles’ practice squad</strong>.</p>



<p>On Friday, the Broncos confirmed that <strong>center Sam Mustipher</strong> has joined the team. Mustipher was part of the Chargers’ practice squad but did not play a single snap during the season.</p>

<p>Mustipher arrives at a crucial moment for Denver. The <strong>Broncos placed Luke Wattenberg on injured reserve Thursday</strong>, meaning he will miss the final two regular-season games and the first two games of the playoffs. Alex Forsyth is expected to step in as the starter, with Mustipher serving as his backup.</p>

<p>There are so many records in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> it’s kind of hard to keep track. Some are even unbreakable. However, after beating <strong>Andy Reid</strong> and the <strong>Kansas City Chiefs</strong> in Week 17 Christmas game, <strong>Denver Broncos</strong> head coach <strong>Sean Payton</strong> overcame the odds and tied all time great <strong>Bill Belichick</strong> in quite the unique category.</p>



<p>According to NFL+, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a> became the second coach in NFL history to win 13+ games in at least five seasons</strong>. The other only coach to do so is the legendary Bill Belichick, who in fact did it seven separate times (2003, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2017).</p>



<p>As for Chiefs’ <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andy Reid</a>, he has four. <strong>Payton managed to do it in 2009, 2011, 2018, 2019 and now 2025.</strong> However, if Payton gets a win in Week 18, it would be the first time he has a 14-win season.</p>



<h2>Belichick won’t add any more to his record</h2>



<p>Now the UNC coach, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Belichick</a> is probably never going to return to the NFL. <strong>Hence, his seven seasons are pretty much set in stone</strong>. As for Payton, there is plenty of time for him to catch up to him. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251226_BUS_551591_Bill-Belichick-3_8e990077.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Bill Belichick" class="wp-image-550305"></figure><figcaption>Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots in 2023.</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Payton has plenty of time catch up to Belichick</strong>. However, it will take a lot as he is in a very tough division where he will fight with Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and Jim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chargers</a> for the foreseeable future. Still, Payton has accomplished an incredible feat with the Broncos this season.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/broncos-hc-sean-payton-sends-shocking-message-after-beating-the-chiefs-in-week-17-christmas-game"></div>


<h2>What other coaches are near this feat?</h2>



<p>As mentioned before, Andy Reid has four seasons with 13+ wins. Besides him, there is work to be done. Among active NFL coaches, <strong>Mike Tomlin only has one 13-win season, such as Pete Carroll. John Harbaugh has two</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Sean McDermott has three of those seasons</strong>, while Sean McVay has only one. Kyle Shanahan has two, and Jim Harbaugh has one. However, there is one intriguing name. <strong>In only seven years as a head coach, Matt LaFleur has three 13-win seasons already</strong>, therefore, he is poised to get at least two more in his career.</p>

Sean Payton joins Bill Belichick in select club as Broncos beat Andy Reid's Chiefs in Week 17 Christmas game - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a></strong> won in Christmas at Arrowhead. After battling and sweeping the <strong>Kansas City Chiefs</strong>, <strong>Sean Payton</strong> sent quite a controversial message regarding how his team keeps winning game.</p>



<p>During the postgame press conference, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a> said was asked about the close game against a very injured Chiefs team. In typical Sean Payton fashion, he said, “<em><strong>Here’s the thing: You ready? It doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing</strong></em>.”</p>



<p>Not only that, Payton went even further. At the two-minute warning, the game was tied 13-13, and the Broncos faced a fourth and two situation. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> <strong>defensive tackle Chris Jones flinched into the neutral zone and that gave the Broncos a fresh set of downs.</strong></p>



<p>However, Payton said the offense was never going to snap the ball on that fourth down. “<em><strong>We were going to take the penalty and kick the field goal. That was the plan</strong>, and it was just an oddball formation to run a no-brainer freeze from. Especially on the road</em>,” Payton said. That pretty much reaffirmed the “<em>doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing</em>” idea.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251226_BUS_551540_bonix_281dd410.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Bo Nix, QB1 of the Denver Broncos" class="wp-image-551441"></figure><figcaption>Bo Nix, QB1 of the Denver Broncos</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Broncos are fully aware of who they are</h2>



<p>In a league where many teams want to be flashy, <strong>the Broncos want to win, no matter how it looks.</strong> While others try to win and be dominant, the Broncos refer to their league-best 13-3 record to believe their dominance.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-bo-nixs-key-weapon-turns-heads-with-major-statement-about-his-future-with-the-broncos"></div>


<p>And when you look at the Broncos roster, it goes well with Payton’s ideology. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a> isn’t the flashiest of quarterbacks, <strong>the scheme isn’t incredibly creative, it’s just incredibly effective</strong>. And, to end it all, Payton is a masterful playcaller. Hence, they all walk the same path of winning without needing it to be aesthetically pleasing.</p>



<h2>The Broncos still haven’t won the AFC West</h2>



<p>Despite being 13-3, the Broncos haven’t sealed their divisional title. In fact, they could very well lose it. Right now, the Chargers hold an 11-4 record, but if they beat the Texans, <strong>they will be one game away from the Broncos, and they hold the tiebreaker against Denver</strong>.</p>



<p>And as poetic as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> is, the Broncos host the Chargers in Week 18 for the divisional title. This of course depends on the Chargers beating the Texans on Saturday. <strong>This might not only define the AFC West, but also the first seed in the AFC.</strong></p>

Broncos HC Sean Payton sends shocking message after beating the Chiefs in Week 17 Christmas game - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a> is usually seen at <strong>Kansas City Chiefs</strong> home games, and this Week 17 matchup against the <strong>Denver Broncos</strong> carries extra significance as it will be the team’s final home game of the season. It is possible that Swift will be in the stadium, as she has been on previous occasions.</p>



<p>Even though the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> are no longer playing for postseason positioning, Swift has remained consistent in attending home games. She <strong>has previously said she prefers those games for security reasons </strong>and due to her personal schedule. At this point, however, her attendance has not been officially confirmed.</p>



<p>This is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a>’s final home game of the season, with the regular season ending next week. Swift will not have another opportunity this year to attend a Super Bowl to support her boyfriend alongside his family. It is also worth noting that this has not been a poor season for Kelce<strong>, as he has surpassed 800 receiving yards </strong>and has already exceeded last year’s touchdown total. Entering Week 17, he has five touchdowns.</p>



<h2>When was the last time Taylor Swift was seen at Arrowhead Stadium</h2>



<p>Prior to Week 17, Swift <strong>was last seen at the Chiefs’ home game against the Chargers. </strong>She attended that matchup as promised, watching from a suite alongside Kelce’s family. The Chiefs<strong> lost that game 16-13,</strong> and it became part of their current losing streak heading into the Broncos matchup.</p>

<p>It is also notable that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/why-is-chris-oladokun-and-not-patrick-mahomes-or-gardner-minshew-playing-tonight-for-chiefs-vs-broncos-on-2025-christmas">Chris Oladokun will be the quarterback against Denver</a>, meaning it will be another game in which Swift will not see passes from Patrick Mahomes to Kelce, something she has rarely experienced during her visits to Arrowhead Stadium.</p>



<p>Despite the Chiefs’ disappointing season, Swift has continued to support not only Kelce but the team as a whole. Kansas City<strong> has already been eliminated from the playoff race, </strong>yet much of the attention around the team remains centered on whether Swift will be spotted at another home game.</p>

Where to watch Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos in the USA: 2025 NFL Regular Season Game - Bolavip US

<p>The Denver Broncos have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2025 NFL season. Thanks to solid performances from quarterback Bo Nix in his second year and one of the best defenses in the league, they look like serious <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> contenders.</p>



<p>The transition in the AFC West has been completed. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong> are officially eliminated, so the divisional title is up for grabs between the Broncos and the Chargers.</p>



<p>Because of this, a loss on Christmas Day could be catastrophic for the Broncos, who are not only fighting to win their division but also for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.</p>



<h2>What happens if Broncos lose today against Chiefs?</h2>



<p>If the Broncos lose today against the Kansas City Chiefs, they would fall to a 12–4 record and lose the No. 1 seed in the AFC. That spot would be taken by the Patriots (12–3), and the Jaguars could also overtake them for the No. 2 seed if they beat the Colts, since they hold the tiebreaker over Denver.</p>


        

        


<h2>Have the Broncos clinched a playoff spot?</h2>



<p>Yes. The Denver Broncos have clinched a playoff spot regardless of what happens in their game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The only thing left to determine is whether they advance as AFC West champions or as a wild-card team.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/andy-reid-sends-clear-message-on-chiefs-elimination-from-playoffs-as-gardner-minshew-replaces-patrick-mahomes-after-qb-injury"></div>


<h2>How can the Broncos win the AFC West?</h2>



<p>The Broncos can win the AFC West if they secure victories in their two remaining games against the Chiefs and the Chargers. Another scenario is Denver defeating Kansas City and the Los Angeles Chargers losing in Week 17 to the Texans.</p>



<p>If both the Broncos and the Chargers win in Week 17, the AFC West will be decided in the matchup they will have in Week 18. The big advantage the Chargers hold is a 5–0 divisional record, which would give them the tiebreaker over the Broncos.</p>

What happens if Denver Broncos lose today against Kansas City Chiefs in NFL Week 17?

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong> have had a disappointing season that has been marked by multiple injuries and, above all, the lack of wins in one-score games, something that became their staple last year.</p>



<p>In addition, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a></strong> suffered a serious left knee injury in the December 14 game against the Chargers. Now, no one knows if the star quarterback will be ready for the start of the 2026 season.</p>



<p>To try to remain <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> contenders, head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach will have to make many moves, as the formula appears worn out and the dynasty close to its end.</p>



<h2>What happens if Chiefs lose today against Broncos?</h2>



<p>If the Kansas City Chiefs lose today against the Denver Broncos, they will fall to a 6-10 record. The positive side of all this is that it would be very likely for them to land a top-10 draft pick next year.</p>


        

        


<h2>Are the Chiefs eliminated from playoffs?</h2>



<p>Yes. The Chiefs are officially eliminated from the playoffs. The AFC West is out of reach since they can no longer overtake the Broncos and the Chargers. In the race for a wild-card spot, they also cannot surpass teams like Buffalo, Houston, or Los Angeles.</p>

Andy Reid sends clear message on Chiefs’ elimination from playoffs as Gardner Minshew replaces Patrick Mahomes after QB injury

What happens if Chiefs lose today against Broncos in NFL Week 17? - Bolavip US

What happens if Chiefs lose to Broncos in Week 17?

<p><strong>Chris Oladokun’s</strong> first real experience on an <strong>NFL </strong>field has been anything but memorable. After struggling to get anything going in Week 16, Oladokun and the 6–9 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong> are gearing up to take on <strong>Bo Nix</strong> and the 12–3 <strong>Denver Broncos</strong>. With nothing left to play for other than the chance to knock their AFC West rivals off track, the Chiefs’ quarterback sent a strong message.</p>



<p>In the blink of an eye, the Chiefs have gone from boasting Patrick Mahomes at quarterback to having Gardner Minshew under center, then signing Chris Oladokun off the practice squad to address a glaring hole at the most important position in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. Needless to say, <strong>it’s been a character-testing stretch for Kansas City.</strong></p>



<p>Although <strong>results haven’t gone their way</strong>, the reigning AFC champions are still confident they can give any team a run for their money. Oladokun certainly thinks so, as he put <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix">Nix</a> and the Broncos on notice with a blunt warning shot.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>It’d be a great Christmas</strong>,”</em> Oladokun said on potentially playing spoiler in Week 17, via<em> A to Z Sports’</em> Charles Goldman. “<em>We know we’re facing a great opponent. We definitely have our hands full, but I feel like <strong>we’ve got a good plan</strong> to go out and play spoiler.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550490_bonix_bc9a1561.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Bo Nix quarterback of the Denver Broncos" class="wp-image-527223"></figure><figcaption>Bo Nix quarterback of the Denver Broncos</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Oladokun and Broncos meet again</h2>



<p>Though it flew under the radar at the time, <strong>Oladokun made his first NFL appearance last season</strong>. It came in Week 18, when the Chiefs visited the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Broncos</a> in a game with massive playoff implications for Denver but none for Kansas City, which had already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chiefs-sign-new-qb-for-andy-reid-after-gardner-minshew-and-patrick-mahomes-injuries"></div>


<p>The Chiefs rolled out a lineup made up almost entirely of second-stringers—and beyond. In that context, Oladokun saw the field for a handful of snaps. He threw no passes and only rushed once for a five-yard gain.</p>


        

        


<p>There was little he could do, however, as the <strong>Broncos blew the Chiefs out of the water in a 38–0 win</strong>. This time around, the scenario presents both similarities and differences. Nix and company could secure the top seed and home-field advantage with a win and some help elsewhere. </p>



<p>On the other hand, the Chiefs are already eliminated from playoff contention. Though in a very different context, Kansas City is once again without Mahomes in a game <strong>with little at stake</strong> as it faces a red-hot Denver squad fighting for its postseason. Still, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chris-oladokun-makes-strong-promise-to-andy-reid-ahead-of-chiefs-2026-qb-decisions-with-gardner-minshew-patrick-mahomes-hurt">Oladokun has promised Reid to seize the opportunity as he eyes a spot with the Chiefs in 2026</a>.</p>



<h2>Broncos looking to break 10-year hex</h2>



<p>With the Broncos having defeated the Chiefs earlier in the 2025 NFL campaign, Denver now has a chance to <strong>sweep the season series for the first time in over a decade</strong>. The last time the Broncos beat Kansas City twice in the same season was in 2014. </p>



<p>That year, Denver fell to the Indianapolis Colts in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. If there is a silver lining, however, it’s that the Broncos went on to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy the following season.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> enter Week 16 with a <strong>10-4 record, </strong>a testament to their recent surge. However, a loss to the <strong>Denver Broncos</strong> today would effectively end their pursuit of the AFC’s No. 1 seed. According to Adam Schefter on X, Jacksonville’s path to the top spot is narrow and requires a three-part scenario to unfold.</p>



<p>To claim the top seed, the Jaguars<strong> must first avoid defeat against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">Broncos</a></strong>. They would then need Denver to drop at least one of their final two regular-season games and hope for a similar stumble from the New England Patriots.</p>



<p>A loss today would snap Jacksonville’s current five-game winning streak and likely spark harsh criticism. While their playoff probability would only dip slightly, from 99% to 96%, the primary fallout would be<strong> their probable elimination from the race for the first-round bye</strong>.</p>



<h2>Searching for a road win in Denver</h2>



<p>History is not on Jacksonville’s side when playing in the Mile High City. The Jaguars have <strong>not secured a road win against the Broncos since 2019</strong>. While that isn’t a massive gap in time, the two most recent meetings between these franchises took place in Florida, both of which resulted in losses for the Jaguars.</p>

<p>On a positive note, <strong>Jacksonville hasn’t lost on the road since Week 10 against the Houston Texans</strong>. Since that defeat, they’ve picked up away wins against the Cardinals and Titans. While those opponents may not be top-tier contenders, the victories helped improve the Jaguars’ road record to a solid 4-2.</p>

<p>Following today’s game, the Jaguars travel to face the Indianapolis Colts before returning home to<strong> close the regular season against the Tennessee Titans.</strong> Those final two matchups appear manageable for a Jacksonville team that has already proven its mettle this year with <strong>wins over the 49ers, Chiefs, and Chargers</strong>.</p>

<p>With a playoff berth already secured, the 12-2 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos"><strong>Denver Broncos</strong></a> now turn their focus to the AFC West crown. To clinch the division title, Denver<strong> must avoid a letdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars, </strong>as a victory today is a critical piece of the puzzle for securing the top seed in the conference.</p>



<p>A loss to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville</a> wouldn’t just stall their division title hopes; it would leave the Broncos<strong> needing to win at least one of their final two games,</strong> tough matchups against the Chiefs and Chargers, to guarantee the AFC West title.</p>



<p>The Broncos enter the contest on a historic tear<strong>, boasting an 11-game winning streak dating back to Week 4</strong>. However, they face a dangerously hot Jaguars team currently riding a five-game winning streak of their own since Week 11.</p>



<p>A loss to the Jaguars could also see the New England Patriots (11-3) tie the Broncos’ record in a fierce competition for the <strong>top spot in the AFC</strong>. The Patriots play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night to try and catch Denver.</p>



<h2>Broncos vs. Jaguars head-to-head</h2>



<p>History has not been kind to the Broncos in this matchup. While the Broncos lead the all-time series 8-7, they haven’t beaten Jacksonville at home in over a decade, with <strong>their last home victory coming in 2013.</strong> Even more staggering.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">TRUE OR FALSE: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BRONCOS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BRONCOS</a> QB BO NIX IS A TOP-FIVE QUARTERBACK IN THE <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NFL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NFL</a> RIGHT NOW…?<br><br>👀👀👀<br><br>Nix has been one of the most accurate and clutch quarterbacks in the entire league this season.<br><br>His highlight reel this season is absurd:<br> <a href="https://t.co/9C8K5Wp4cz">pic.twitter.com/9C8K5Wp4cz</a> <a href="https://t.co/vXGpe1h6vL">https://t.co/vXGpe1h6vL</a></p>— MLFootball (@MLFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLFootball/status/2002097964626686342?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 19, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



<p>Denver’s most notable home victory<strong> against Jacksonville came in 1998, a 37-24 win led by Hall of Famer John Elway.</strong> In that contest, Elway threw for 295 yards and a touchdown to best a Jaguars squad led by Mark Brunell.</p>



<p>Since then, the home-field advantage has evaporated against the Jaguars; the most recent meeting at Empower Field in<strong> 2019 ended in a 26-24 Denver loss.</strong> While the Broncos managed to win the last two meetings on the road in Florida (2021 and 2022), they are desperate to snap a 10+ years streak of frustration against Jacksonville.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons">Micah Parsons</a> is likely to be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Following the most recent report on his injury sustained during the <strong>Green Bay Packers</strong>‘ loss to the Denver Broncos, it is feared to be a severe knee injury.</p>



<p>NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported on X: <em>“Packers edge Micah Parsons, <strong>believed to have suffered a torn ACL, </strong>finished his season with 12.5 sacks and a significant piece of one of the NFL’s best defenses. But his injury knocks him out for the end of the regular season and beyond.”</em></p>



<p>Regarding the Parsons injury and its potential benefit to the Bears, Jacob Infante of Windy City Gridiron stated on X: <em>“I feel bad for Micah Parsons on a human level for his injury.<strong> Never good to see guys get hurt.</strong> I don’t give a s— about how it pertains to the Bears, their playoff chances, or their game next week. Playoffs are on the line. None of this ‘beat them at their best’ c—.”</em></p>



<h2>Packers lose another player to ACL tear</h2>



<p>Parsons is not the only <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Packers</a> player with a torn ACL. It’s worth remembering that Tucker Kraft had <strong>already suffered the same injury in November,</strong> making him an important starter for the team. </p>

<p>Furthermore, during the same game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Broncos</a> where Parsons was injured, it is suspected that other players may have also suffered injuries,<strong> including Christian Watson, Zach Tom, and Quay Walker</strong>, according to information shared by SleeperPackers.</p>

<p>Packers edge rusher Rashan Gary spoke about the potential season-ending injury for Parsons, saying, <em>“I told him to keep his head up, and <strong>we’re going to finish strong for him,</strong>” </em>in a message also intended to encourage his other teammates.</p>



<h2>Packers’ playoff situation</h2>



<p>Currently, the Packers, with a 9-4-1 record, have an <strong>88% playoff probability. </strong>This is strong, as they are the second-best team in the NFC North.<strong> They still have games scheduled against the Bears, Ravens, and Vikings. </strong>It is highly probable that they will at least secure a Wild Card spot.</p>

<p>This <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> season surprisingly has two teams in the AFC as serious <strong>Super Bowl</strong> contenders, with the <strong>Denver Broncos</strong> being one of them. <strong>Bo Nix</strong> has become the leader this franchise needed, and to keep its momentum, a victory over the <strong>Green Bay Packers</strong> at Empower Field Stadium in Week 15 is a must.</p>



<p>With eleven wins and only two losses, Mile High is hoping to secure the top seed in its conference and eventually earn a first-round bye in the postseason. It remains to be seen whether its current opponent will allow for an easy game.</p>



<p>The Packers also enter this matchup as leaders of the NFC North, although their situation is somewhat different. A stumble could allow their divisional rivals to take advantage and <strong>snatch the top spot from them.</strong></p>



<h2>What happens if the Broncos lose to the Packers?</h2>



<p>If the Denver Broncos lose to the Green Bay Packers at home, their current record would drop to 11-3, and depending on the outcome of the matchup between the Chargers and Chiefs, <strong>their lead in the AFC West could be at risk.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251214_BUS_545200_bo-nix-jk-dobbins_e1aa6cad.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="JK Dobbins with Bo Nix" class="wp-image-519245" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Bo Nix #10 of the Denver Broncos.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Ahead of this game, according to the <em><a href="https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture">NFL’s official website</a></em>, <strong>the Broncos have a 99% chance of securing a playoff spot.</strong> A loss—or another win—would not change this percentage, so their qualification is not at risk beyond Week 15.</p>

<p>Week 15 will feature a highly significant matchup in the AFC West, as the Chargers visit Arrowhead to face the Kansas City Chiefs. If Justin Herbert is able to lead his team to a victory,<strong> the standings could take an unexpected turn heading into the weeks ahead.</strong></p>



<h2>Denver’s final games</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Denver Broncos</a> face a high-stakes series of games to close out their 2025 regular season following their Week 15 home contest. The challenging stretch begins with another home game, hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars. They then hit the road for a critical AFC West showdown on Christmas Day,<strong> traveling to Arrowhead Stadium to battle the rival Kansas City Chiefs. </strong></p>



<p>Finally, the Broncos will return home to conclude their season with a pivotal divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, a game which could determine the final AFC West standings and their playoff seeding.</p>

<p>Thanks to amazing seasons from their starting quarterbacks the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Denver Broncos</a></strong> (11-2), <strong>New England Patriots</strong> (11-2), and <strong>Los Angeles Rams</strong> (10-3) are looking like the biggest Super Bowl contenders in the <strong>NFL</strong>. However, in order to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy, they must first make it to the postseason. In Week 15, all three sides can secure their berth in the Playoffs.</p>



<p>Needless to say, the Broncos, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">Patriots</a>, and Rams will all face a tough matchup in Week 15. In order to clinch a playoff seed, <strong>all three will have to take down a playoff-caliber opponent</strong>. It’s only fitting. For one to be the best, one must beat the best.</p>



<p>The New England Patriots will host the Buffalo Bills (9-4) at Gillette Stadium in a pivotal AFC East showdown. <strong>The ‘Drake &amp; Josh’ series</strong> will have its second edition of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> campaign after Drake Maye and the Pats took Josh Allen and the Bills by surprise in Week 5. </p>



<p>The Broncos will face the visiting Green Bay Packers (9-3-1) in the Mile High City. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams">Rams</a> will host the Detroit Lions (8-5) as Matthew Stafford will face his former team for the third time in his career. So far, <strong>he is 1-1 against the Lions.</strong></p>

<h2>How can the Broncos clinch a playoff seed in Week 15?</h2>



<p>Following the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss in Week 14, the Broncos only have the Los Angeles Chargers (9-4) to worry about in order to <strong>crown themselves AFC West champions</strong>. However, Denver can secure its place in the postseason without being crowned in the division yet. There are six scenarios in which Denver goes through to the NFL Playoffs. </p>


        

        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/what-happens-if-packers-lose-to-broncos-today-in-week-15-of-2025-nfl-season"></div>

<h2>What do the Patriots need to punch their playoff ticket?</h2>



<p>The Patriots will crown themselves AFC East champions—<strong>for the first time since 2019</strong>—with a win over the Bills in Week 15. Winning the division would guarantee a first-round home game for New England. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/what-happens-if-patriots-lose-to-bills-today-in-week-15-of-2025-nfl-season">If the Patriots lose to the Bills</a>, the race for the division title will be wide open. </p>



<p>However, Maye and the Pats are after a bigger prize in the AFC: the first seed. As they share the same record as the Broncos, the playoff-clinching scenarios for the Patriots are <strong>identical to their counterparts in Colorado</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251214_BUS_545167_drake-maye-2_9e711e0c.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Drake Maye" class="wp-image-545054"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots.</figcaption></figure>

<h2>How can Los Angeles become playoff-bound on Sunday?</h2>



<p>Though the Rams have looked like the best team in the NFC—and arguably the entire NFL—they can’t take their eyes off the prize. <strong>The NFC West is stacked</strong> with the Seattle Seahawks (10-3) and San Francisco 49ers (9-4). </p>



<p>A tiny slip up can prove the difference between winning the division or missing the playoffs entirely. Regardless, the odds are seemingly on the Rams’ side, who control their own destiny. Contrary to the Broncos and Patriots, <strong>there is only one scenario </strong>in which Los Angeles punches its ticket to the postseason in Week 15.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a></strong> are 11-2, but the oddsmakers still made them home underdogs. <strong>Bo Nix</strong> and company feel disrespected but one of the team’s stars sent a huge warning to the <strong>Green Bay Packers</strong>.</p>



<p>Speaking with Arnie Melendrez Stapleton of the AP, edge rusher Nik Bonitto said, <em>“<strong>I love it. It&nbsp;fuels me, honestly. I like when people doubt us</strong>. They can stay on that side. We’ll go out and prove what we’ve got to prove</em>.” Bonitto is one of the best defensive players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.</p>



<p>The Broncos are 11-2, but <strong>eight of their games are one-possession victories</strong>. That might hamper their credibility. Still, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a> leads the NFL in game-winning drives, the Broncos are tied for the best record in the league and are elite in many ways.</p>



<h2>Nik Bonitto is a menace</h2>



<p>When a team pays a pass rusher, the hope is a decline doesn’t come calling right away. However, the Broncos paid Bonitto, and he is delivering. <strong>Bonitto has 12.5 sacks, just one shy of his mark from last year</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251212_BUS_544359_nik-bonitto_ac1cde09.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Nik Bonitto #15 of the Denver Broncos." class="wp-image-442619" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Nik Bonitto #15 of the Denver Broncos.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Broncos have the third-best total defense, second-best rushing defense, fourth-best scoring defense, and <strong>the team with the most number of sacks in the NFL</strong>. Hence, if Bonitto wants to chirp, he has the right to do so. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/sean-payton-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Football is won in the trenches, and both teams are great at it</h2>



<p><strong>The Broncos have the most sacks in the NFL, and the offensive line is the one with less sacks allowed</strong>. That easily explains why the team has 11 wins. The Packers have 33 sacks too.</p>



<p>The Broncos have allowed 17 sacks in the NFL, which is the best number in the league. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Packers</a> are elite too, allowing only 18 sacks. Hence, the battle on the trenches wil define this game too, but <strong>now it’s a coin flip instead of a clear advantage to either team.</strong></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a></strong> need a new head coach for 2026, and <strong>Bill Belichick</strong> may be the frontrunner for the job. Now, <strong>Denver Broncos head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a></strong> has sent a <strong>clear message to the entire NFL</strong> about the <strong>potential return</strong> of the six-time Super Bowl champion.</p>



<p>Following a disappointing 2025 NFL season, the <strong>Giants are expected to undergo a major rebuild</strong> next year. The first and most important move? A change at the head coach position.</p>



<p>After several seasons without being contenders, the <strong>Giants need a big name</strong> to lead the team. For that reason, the <strong>main option has become <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a></strong>, who is reportedly being eyed by several teams as he considers a return to the league.</p>



<h2>Sean Payton makes honest confession on Bill Belichick potentially returning to the NFL</h2>



<p>A few months ago, Bill Belichick was in search of an NFL team to coach. However, <strong>no franchise decided to hire him</strong>, <strong>despite his six <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> wins</strong> and the number of teams in need of a top-tier coach.</p>



<p>Because of that, <strong>Belichick chose to test himself in college by coaching the UNC Tar Heels</strong>. His season was not outstanding, which is why rumors suggest he is now eyeing a return to the league in 2026.</p>



<p>As of today, the <strong>New York Giants</strong> appear to be the <strong>most likely landing spot</strong>. His potential return has raised alarms across the league, as many believe he still has what it takes to turn a franchise into a true contender, just as he did with the Patriots.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bill-belichick-robert-kraft-involved-in-competition-for-unique-recognition-after-ugly-patriots-breakup"></div>


<p>However, there is one coach who is not concerned about Belichick’s return: Sean Payton. The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Broncos</a> head coach welcomes the idea</strong>, saying Belichick is the type of coach who forces everyone to elevate their game immediately.</p>



<p><strong><em>“I’ll be honest with you, I miss him not being in the league,”</em></strong> Sean Payton told reporters on Wednesday about Bill Belichick. <em>“I miss him not being in the league, and I wouldn’t be surprised, and <strong>I would be somewhat hopeful that he ends up back in the league</strong>. We’d all be better for it. He’s something.”</em></p>



<h2>Will the Giants hire Bill Belichick?</h2>



<p>The Giants fired Brian Daboll earlier this year due to the teams poor performances. While they named <strong>Mike Kafka the interim coach</strong>, he is not expected to remain in the role for the 2026 season.</p>



<p>The <strong>rumors </strong>of <strong>Bill Belichick joining the Giants are strong</strong>, but they are still only rumors. Everything will depend on Belichick’s decision to return to the league and whether New York views him as the savior of the franchise.</p>
