I'm very glad Denver lost yesterday. It wasn't just a loss - but an AFC loss.
But really, since we play them head-to-head:
1) If we beat Denver, the game yesterday wouldn't matter except to give us one game we could lose at this point (If Denver remains undefeated in their other games for their remaining schedule - which also won't happen) and still be on top of them for the #2 seed at least.
2) If we lose to Denver, and finish tied with them, yesterday's Denver loss really means nothing, as our tied record would then go to head-to-head and Denver would get #2 seed based on head-to-head win. I suppose if Denver were to lose ANOTHER game more than we do and still beat us - then we could get the #2 based on better record and head-to-head matchup wouldn't matter. In that case, yesterday's Denver loss would be HUGE. But they need to lose another for it to mean anything.
But hopefully, we don't even think about Denver because we get the #1 seed over New England. We don't play New England in the regular season. Would most like to face them in Cincinnati though
