Only two teams, the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos, have so far secured spots in the 2025-26 NFL playoffs.

With their win over the Green Bay Packers, the Denver Broncos have officially clinched a playoff berth. However, the AFC West is still up for grabs, and the Broncos will have to either get help or wait a while before they have the opportunity to clinch the division and secure the top playoff seed in the AFC.

For the first time since 2015, the AFC West will have a new divisional champion, and it will be between the Broncos and Chargers after the Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention.

Each week of the NFL season, I’ll grade each AFC West team’s performance with a report card that tells the truth. Offense, defense, and overall performance will be measured accordingly. My grades aren’t about the box scores,

Last year, Hortiz and the front office found starting-caliber cornerbacks Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart in the fifth round. Fourth-rounder Justin Eboigbe has big upside. They had the no-brainer with Joe Alt at No. 5, then ripped off the New England Patriots to move up and land Ladd McConkey.

The Kansas City Chiefs will likely need a QB other than Patrick Mahomes early next season, and the Raiders' Kenny Pickett may be a fit.

Danny Parkins, Willie Colon and Greg Jennings debate Danny’s take on the AFC West being wide open despite the Denver Broncos’ dominance, while also breaking down the Green Bay Packers’ loss and reacting to Micah Parsons’ injury.

The NFL is all about parity, and Week 16 will offer some high-powered matchups that'll continue to create separation in several key divisions around the league. Last week, the Denver Broncos (12-2) and Los Angeles Rams (11-3) became the first two teams to clinch a playoff spot this season.
