The team fired head coach Todd Haley shortly after its 37-10 loss at the New York Jets on Dec. 11 and replaced him on an interim basis with defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel, a possible candidate to keep the job permanently. Crennel's credentials got a big boost after Kansas City shocked the previously- unbeaten Green Bay Packers in |

A victory over the Bills, coupled with losses by the New York Jets, Cincinnati and Tennessee, would secure at least a Wild Card berth. That's not where many would have expected the Broncos would be heading into Week 7, when head coach John Fox turned to Tebow after a 1-4 start. In fact, there was speculation the mo |

It stands eighth overall in the conference standings, one game and an all-important two slots behind the No. 6 New York Jets, who now hold the final Wild Card playoff position with two games remaining. "We don't have control anymore," rookie defensive tackle Jurrell Casey said. "We'll have to see how some other teams do, and we'll see how it all plays out. We can't go out |

| (Sportsbooks) - The snow's on the ground. The ornaments are on the tree. The songs are on the radio. And New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan is crowing about the playoffs. Yes indeed, folks...it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Keeping with the tradition he'd established in years one and two on the job, the outspoken Gang Green sideline boss reminded everyone again this week -- as the Jets prepare for a Saturday home date with their live-in rivals at MetLife Stadium, the New York Giants -- that he |

A Wild Card berth seems to be a more plausible avenue, but that would entail both the New York Jets and Cincinnati each having to lose at least one of their two remaining games. While their fate remains uncertain, it has become abundantly clear that the Chargers are now a team no one wants to face, either in the playoffs or on the way there, and S |
