Here's a look around the AFC West as we approach Week 14 of the NFL regular season:
Denver Broncos (8-4)
Week 14 Opponent:The Broncos travel to take on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, December 11 at 12 p.m. CT.
After their Sunday Night Football overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Broncos rebounded with a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, with rookie Paxton Lynch at quarterback. Usual started Trevor Siemian missed the game due to a toe injury. Cornerback Bradley Roby had a 51-yard interception return for a touchdown in the 20-10 victory. Now a game behind the Chiefs and Raiders with four games left, the Broncos need a win in Tennessee to keep pace.
