A typical in-season week for the Denver Broncos features practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday ahead of a game on Sunday. After securing a first-round bye in the NFL playoffs, coach Sean Payton is changing things up.

The final Sunday of the NFL’s regular season began with three division titles, two playoff spots and a bye up for grabs.

After 272 games of an entertaining regular season, only 14 teams out of 32 remain on the hunt for the Lombardi Trophy.
