Mike Ditka: Never count any team out in the NFL. That’s what makes this league so great. But yeah, I agree, the Broncos and Bucs are playing solid football. They’ve got seasoned quarterbacks, strong defenses – they’re built for playoff runs. I wouldn’t be surprised if both of them secure their spots this week.
