Broncos Precarious Playoff Positioning...

The early morning games are nearly half way over. As it stands, Pittsburgh leads Miami 14-10 with the ball in the red-zone and New England leads Houston 10-7. If both of these games hold up, then a win by either Baltimore or New York would eliminate Denver from the playoffs.

There are multiple scenarios that can result in Denver making the playoffs. Here are the key games and how Denver needs them to fall:

Denver vs. KC - Denver must win
Pittsburgh @ Miami - Denver needs Miami to win
Baltimore @ Oakland - Denver needs Oakland to win
New York vs Cincinatti - Denver needs Cincinatti to win
New England @ HOuston - Denver needs NE to win.

Assuming a Broncos win against KC today, denver needs any two of the other results to occur as listed above to make the playoffs.
