"Week 15 saw three AFC teams get officially eliminated from playoff contention. Including the shocking departure of the defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs' season came to a fitting end as Patrick Mahomes was helped off the field with a torn ACL. For the first time since the 2021 season the AFC will be represented by a different team than the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. The Cincinnati Bengals played in the 2021 Super Bowl. They were eliminated on Sunday as well."
"That honor remains in the hands of the red-hot Denver Broncos. The Broncos have won 11 straight games to get to 12-2. They hold a one-game lead over the 11-3 Patriots for the bye week, and they also have the tie-breaker in hand should they end up tied at the end of the regular season. However, Denver holds just a two-game lead over the Chargers in the AFC West."
