Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos won their 11th straight game with a 34-26 home win over the Green Bay Packers. Nix threw for 302 yards, a career-high four touchdowns and wasn’t intercepted or sacked a single time as Denver clinched a playoff berth for the second consecutive season.

Former Broncos kicker Brandon McManus kicked field goals of 56, 23 and 35 yards to help the Packers take a 16-14 halftime lead and added a 37-yarder in the fourth quarter that pulled Green Bay within 27-26 before the Broncos iced it on R.J. Harvey's 4-yard TD run.
