Packers, Denver Broncos and NFL
Digest more
Evan Engram is just the second tight end in NFL history to total at least 40 receptions in each of his first nine seasons.
The Broncos have waived 41-year-old Marcedes Lewis, the oldest tight end to play in an NFL game. Lewis appeared in four games for the Broncos as a point-of-attack blocker. He didn't catch any passes or post any statistics but he did tally 66 snaps.
Notable odds: The Rams are essentially a lock to make the playoffs (97% odds on NFL.com), but they are still in a very tight race with the Seahawks and 49ers in the NFC West. The No. 1 seed isn't a lock by any means but the Rams are the favorites, per The Athletic's playoff odds, at 48%.
Regardless of L.A.'s result against the Kansas City Chiefs (6-7) in Week 15, the Broncos can clinch a postseason berth if they defeat the Green Bay Packers (9-3-1) and improve to 12-2 this weekend, which would secure a Wild Card spot at minimum.
Jordan Love and the Packers are playing their best football just in time to take on one of the best defenses in the NFL in the Broncos.
In the summer of 2024, the Denver Broncos held joint practice sessions with the Green Bay Packers. Entering Week 15's regular-season matchup with the Packers, the Broncos will be looking for any edge they can get, and the tape from last year's practices against them could offer a key.
The NFL will also flex two Week 18 games to Saturday and one game to SNF for the final week of the regular season. The Broncos are set to host the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) in their regular-season finale on Jan. 3 or Jan. 4, pending flex decisions.
