It was already known that the two teams would face each other in the second-to-last week of the season. The Broncos will either be fighting for a playoff spot or fighting for the best possible playoff positioning against the Bengals. If they win their Thursday Night Football match this week against the Los Angeles Chargers they would improve to 10-5 and will secure a playoff berth and be in the postseason for the first time since 2015.

With the Broncos playing on Thursday, they will have plenty of rest heading into the Week 17 game.
