Denver Broncos miss out on shot to secure playoff berth with 34-27 loss to the Chargers in Los Angeles
The Denver Broncos missed out on a shot to end the second longest current playoff drought in the NFL with Thursday night's 34-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Broncos record is now 9-6, and they still have a chance to make the playoffs in their two remaining games.
Broncos fans have had to endure eight seasons without a playoff appearance. The last time the Broncos were in the playoffs was in the 2015 season. That was Denver's Super Bowl 50-winning season. The Carolina Panthers also haven't been to the playoffs for eight seasons, and for the New York Jets, it's been 14 straight seasons without a playoff appearance.
Denver will get a longer-than-normal break before their Week 17 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in nine days.
The Broncos still have an 86% chance of making the playoffs.
