Wild-card round bye: (1) Denver Broncos<\/p>\n
In Week 18, the 9-7 Steelers and the 8-8 Ravens will square up in a winner-take-all clash for the AFC North crown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the AFC South, the Jaguars can take the division with a win over the Titans. (And, if New England and Denver both lose, the Jags can claim the No. 1 seed to boot.) But if Jacksonville loses, the Texans can secure the title by defeating the Colts.<\/p>\n
The No. 1 seed is still unclaimed. It’s the Broncos’ to lose, assuming they defeat the Chargers. If they can’t get the job done, the Patriots can take the No. 1 seed with a win over the Dolphins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1. Denver Broncos (13-3; clinched AFC West) 2.
