Bo Nix is the 14th starting quarterback since Peyton Manning retired and became the first since then to lead Denver to the playoffs.

Perhaps the third time truly was the charm for the 10-7 Denver Broncos, who snapped their two-game losing streak on Sunday with a 38-0 win over the 15-2 Kansas City Chiefs at Mile High. The victory delivers the Broncos' first playoff berth since 2015.

The Broncos turned a must-win game into a rout. And don’t think for a moment that it wasn’t earned. They absolutely deserve this playoff berth.
