CINCINNATI — The Broncos beat the Chiefs 38-0 on Sunday to clinch the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoffs.

That means Joe Burrow and the Bengals have officially been eliminated from playoff contention.

They finish the season 9-8, having won five-straight games. It's the first full season they'll miss the playoffs with a healthy Burrow.

The Bengals needed the Chiefs' second and third-string to beat the Broncos and they needed the Jets to beat the Dolphins to make the postseason.

Denver made sure that Cincinnati would be watching the playoffs from home this year.
