What happened: Denver and Jacksonville are both 6-2, with the Broncos at the No. 2 seed and the Jaguars at No. 3. Denver beat Jacksonville earlier this season, and most recently beat Kansas City 28-24 on Nov. 1.

Why it matters: A shared record leaves the head-to-head result as the tiebreaker that separates them. The Jaguars' 33-10 win over Baltimore drew most of the attention this week, but it was a win over a 4-5 team that has lost four straight.
