The win clinched an NFL playoff berth for the Broncos, ending an eight-year playoff drought for Denver since winning Super Bowl 50.

It slots the Broncos in the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff picture.

That sets up a wild-card round showdown with the No. 2 Buffalo Bills and former Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen.

Buffalo went 13-4 in the regular season. The Broncos move to 10-7 with a win over the Chiefs.

The Broncos and Bills will play at 11 a.m. Mountain on Sunday, Jan. 12. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
