The Broncos have been hovering around the top of the NFL power rankings for much of the 2025 season. Did a victory over Green Bay get them to the top?

This week, the NFL took notice of Denver's magical season, and made sure the whole league knew about it. The NFL's official Twitter/X page cover photo features a picture of quarterback Bo Nix celebrating the win, arms outstretched, and the caption, "merry clinchmas."

The Denver Broncos are currently 12-2, have already clinched a playoff berth and sit atop the AFC standings at the moment.

The Green Bay Packers suffered a major loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, losing by a final score of 34-26. The Packers, who entered the Broncos game in first place in the NFC North, dropped to second place after losing since the Chicago Bears beat the Cleveland Browns.

They'd need help from a few other teams, but the Broncos could clinch the AFC West and No. 1 seed as early as Sunday.

The theme of the 2025 NFL regular season has been one of extreme unpredictability: Super Bowl favorites performing below usual standards, unexpected comebacks and breakout teams taking the league by storm.
