The Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers captured the NFL's final two playoff spots in Week 18. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix led the Broncos to a 38-0 victory over Kansas City's backups on Sunday, sending Denver to the postseason for the first time since Peyton Manning helped the team win a Super Bowl nine years ago.

The Denver Broncos (10-7) galloped past the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) on Sunday, securing a decisive 38-0 home win and punching their ticket to the playoffs for the first time in nine seasons. It was only Denver’s third victory over Kansas City in their last 20 matchups dating back to 2015.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in the process of capitulating to the Denver Broncos in a Week 18 matchup that features two teams with vastly different objectives. Kansas City is simply doing its best to stay healthy and is resting its starters in the AFC West showdown.
