The Denver Broncos scored yet another one-possession victory on Christmas, downing the Chiefs to remain in pole position for the AFC West.
Losses for the Packers and Chargers on Saturday were wins for the Bears and Broncos, who clinched their divisions in front of the TV.

"Quietly, the Broncos defense has slipped in a big way. Through the first 10 weeks of the season, Denver ranked third in defensive EPA per play. Since then, it ranks 26th. A get-right game awaits, though, against quarterback Chris Oladokun and the Chiefs on Thursday," Josh Kendall and Chad Graff write. See the full rankings.
Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton was hit with the NFL’s largest fine of Week 16 following Denver’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The league announced its fines Saturday, with three Broncos penalized: safety P.J. Locke ($11,593), defensive tackle Malcolm Roach ($17,389) and Singleton ($23,186).
Bo Nix has the Denver Broncos primed to the No. 1 seed in the AFC this season. At 13-3 and with only the Los Angeles Chargers on the schedule, his wife Izzy Nix had an emotional note for the team. Bo has thrown for 3,790 yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, while rushing for 307 yards and five more scores.
