What happened: Denver is 6-2 and in first place in the AFC West, with PFF calling its schedule to this point brutal. The Broncos have won four straight, the latest a 28-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 1.

Why it matters: Winning the division while carrying a heavy early slate gives Denver a record built against stiff opposition. The result also holds the Broncos above the Chiefs in the division race.

By the numbers: Record: 6-2 through 8 games. Streak: W4. Conference seed: No. 2. Last game: 28-24 win over Kansas City (Nov. 1).

What to watch: The Nov. 10 trade deadline is next, with Denver holding under $5M in cap space.
