The Broncos' quarterback, Bo Nix, is keeping his focus on the task at hand, despite the potential for a thrilling AFC West division title race. While the team has already secured a postseason spot, Nix is more concerned about the Broncos' performance in their final game than the potential outcomes of other teams' matches.
"At the end of the day, none of it really matters. We have to play the final game, and we have to take care of it," Nix stated in a press conference. He emphasized the importance of the Broncos' own performance, regardless of what other teams do.
The Broncos have a chance to clinch the AFC West and a home playoff game if the Texans defeat the Chargers on Saturday. However, if the Chargers win, the division title will be decided by the Week 18 matchup between the Chargers and Broncos in Denver.
Nix, who is 0-3 against the Chargers so far, is looking forward to the challenge. He acknowledges the importance of the game and the tough environment it will create. "It is honestly playoff atmosphere. It is going to be tough. I have not beaten them, but it is going to be a good nine days of preparation. On the tenth day, it will be all you have got for four quarters, or however long it takes. We are excited about it. It will be good to have rest. It will be a good long weekend for us."
The Broncos' focus on their own performance is a smart strategy, as it ensures they are in control of their destiny. While other teams' outcomes may impact the division title, Nix is keeping his eyes on the prize and working to secure a win for the Broncos.
