The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Lou Scataglia argues that a Denver Broncos loss in Week 8 would still leave the AFC West and the broader season wide open. While a defeat would drop Denver to 5-3 and hand the Kansas City Chiefs a regular-season sweep, Scataglia maintains the team would remain well-positioned in second place within the division.

The article highlights that six of Denver's final nine opponents hold losing records, with their remaining foes combining for a 26-34 mark. Contrasting this with Kansas City's more difficult remaining schedule and lack of an upcoming bye week, Scataglia contends Denver retains a viable path to another strong late-season run.
