ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos head coach John Fox considers Sunday?s regular season finale against Kansas City to be a must-win game, even though the Broncos could still make the playoffs with a loss.
"My mind is much like a playoff game already. We need to win this game. That will determine our fate,? Fox told reporters at Dove Valley Monday.
The Broncos and Oakland Raiders are tied atop the AFC West with records of 8-7. However, based on NFL tiebreaker rules, only the Broncos control their own playoff hopes.
The Broncos, who have lost two straight, will clinch the AFC West with a win over the Chiefs. But they could also back into the playoffs if they lose to Kansas City and the Raiders lose in San Diego.
"Whoever shows up and executes the best Sunday is going to win. That hasn't been any different the first 15 games," said Fox.
Sunday also provides Chiefs quarterback Kyle Orton with a chance to extract revenge on his former team.
Orton was benched by the Broncos earlier in the season for Tim Tebow, later released, and then picked up by Kansas City.
Fox downplayed the coincidence.
"There's familiarity (with Orton), just like any division game, whether it's the whole team or a player."
