10-4. Denver Broncos. 5. player. 45. <p>Losers of their last two, the Broncos had better watch out. They have yet to actually claim a playoff spot, and their arrowhead divisional rivals are hot on their tail for the AFC West lead (and actually rank three notches above the Broncos, as you will read about later in this slideshow). So yeah, tonight’s game against Cincy is a must-win.</p> <p>Brock Osweiler isn’t going to be able to do it alone tonight. He’s going to need help from a defense that has been outstanding for the most part this season, but has suffered some hiccups in the current losing streak.
