The Broncos have every right to show off their latest accomplishment, though reaching the playoffs is only part of the main goal of every team in the league, which is win the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Nevertheless, the Broncos got tremendous buzz online with their post.
“I never thought the Broncos would be 12-2 clinching a playoff spot and the Chiefs would be eliminated from the playoffs in the same week,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “We heard it all and yet we still winning , let’s go man
From a commenter: “What are they gonna say now???? We’re back in business!! 😎😎😎
Winning the division first round bye…. I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: I have not been this impressed by a Broncos performance all year. Incredible to play so well against a great team like Green Bay.
Said another: THE AFC WILL RUN THROUGH THE MILE HIGH CITY. BOOK IT.”
Packers get tripped up amid tight NFC North race
As for the Packers, the loss to Denver stings for a number of reasons, including the fact that they saw star pass rusher Micah Parsons go down with a season-ending knee injury in that contest.
Still, they remain in position to make the playoffs with three games left on their 2025 NFL schedule. Green Bay can get back to its winning ways and reclaim the top spot in the NFC North as soon as Week 16, when the Packers face off against the Chicago Bears in the Windy City.
