Happy Wednesday, #BroncosCountry –

We hope you're enjoying this lovely hump day! Here are a couple things to get caught up on today, starting with some hoops:

1. 'The King' and the Broncos

The Broncos headed to the Pepsi Center Tuesday night to watch the Nuggets and Cavaliers duke it out on the hardwood.

Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders also got a chance to greet 'The King' aka LeBron James.

2. Down to the wire

There's a lot on the line for the Broncos this weekend, but they're not the only team with much at stake.

For one, the Broncos have already secured a spot in the playoffs. This weekend will just determine if the Broncos secure the first-week bye and possibly the No.1 seed.

But around the league, 11 of the 16 games in Week 17 have playoff implications, including the Kansas City Chiefs, who are still in the hunt for the AFC West title.

• The Chiefs clinch the AFC West with a win and a Broncos loss.*

Read the rest of the playoff implications for this week here from Pro Football Talk.
