What happened: Denver beat the Carolina Panthers 26-21 on the road on Nov. 8, its fifth straight win. The Broncos now rest during the bye with the AFC West trade market still moving around them.

Why it matters: Denver's agreement with the 0-8 Los Angeles Chargers on a trade was cancelled this week. The Broncos also restructured Talanoa Hufanga's deal to clear $3.9 million in cap space, and a McMillian contract extension is a possibility during the break.

What to watch: Denver can use the bye to settle the tight end spot after fielding calls on Evan Engram, with no move expected.
