the Broncos and Lions would both make the playoffs as a 7 seed here
a lot of good teams in recent memory like the ‘16 falcons, ‘18 bears, ‘17 jaguars, ‘17 eagles, and ‘18 Rams have all been elite teams and subsequently fallen off.. there will be a team or teams who will not be as good next year
not to mention, teams like Pittsburgh, Indy, and Oakland have all upgraded their rosters/gotten healthy which makes for a competitive AFC
