It’s hard to fully appreciate a division title given the way they won it, but they won it nonetheless: the 8-8 Denver Broncos are the 2011 AFC West Champions.
It’s the first division title and playoff berth for the Broncos since 2005. As fourth seed, Denver will host the fifth seed Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) at home for the first week in the playoffs.
And while we’re all still reeling over the loss to the Chiefs this afternoon, and the way they lost three straight to back into the playoffs, and the way Tim Tebow and company are playing utterly dreadful offensive football, remember that the Broncos were 4-12 only a season ago.
No team in the AFC West more deserved to go to the playoffs than Denver.
