"Seventh Seed Slots: Broncos (AFC), Commanders (NFC) in the Playoff Picture"

The Denver Broncos hold the seventh spot in the AFC playoff race as Week 12 of the regular season begins. This marks their first appearance in the postseason since 2015. They are currently ahead of the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins in the wild-card race, but are two games behind the Baltimore Ravens due to a previous loss.

The Broncos last made it to the playoffs in Super Bowl 50, where they defeated the Carolina Panthers. In the NFC, the Washington Commanders, led by first-year coach Dan Quinn, hold the seventh seed. To move up, they would need to surpass the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, who trail the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions.

Washington has not won a playoff game since 2005 and has lost four consecutive postseason games since then. The current NFL playoff picture is as follows:
