Broncos win AFC West for the first time since 2015 after Chargers loss

The Denver Broncos received some excellent news regarding their AFC West Division crown following the end of the Los Angeles Chargers’ matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday evening.

Denver was in comfortable position following its 20-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day during Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season. They commanded the top spot of the division standings, having an almost-solid path to a top four finish in the AFC playoff bracket.

All they needed to clinch the division title and a top four spot was for the Chargers to lose to the Texans on Saturday. Safe to say that Houston finished the job, beating Los Angeles 20-16 in a close nailbiter. With Los Angeles out of reach, Denver takes home its first division title since 2015.
