The Denver Broncos didn’t play in Week 9, but a division rival’s loss helped the Broncos avoid dropping a spot in the AFC West.
After a bye, the Broncos (3-5) are still third in the division, above the Las Vegas Raiders (2-6). Las Vegas had an opportunity to climb above Denver in the standings on Sunday, but the Raiders blew a 17-0 lead in a 27-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
