Tonight’s Thursday Night Football matchup is an AFC West matchup between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, and it’ll have major implications on the playoff picture going forward.
Not originally scheduled as a Thursday night game, but thanks to a tight playoff race in the AFC and newly approved late-season Thursday flex scheduling, it became the first matchup to be flexed into a primetime spot.
If the playoffs were to start today, both teams would be in with the Broncos seeded one spot higher than the Chargers, but both teams have a chance to make their playoff berths official this week. For the Broncos, it could take as little as one win tonight (if they lose, they’ll need the Bengals, Colts, and Dolphins to all lose this week, too). With a win tonight alone, the Chargers won’t punch their ticket to the playoffs, but can still earn a spot if they win tonight combined with Colts and Dolphins losses on Sunday.
