Last night's victory by the Denver Broncos over the Cincinnati Bengals caused the two to flip in postseason positioning in the AFC. The Bengals entered the evening holding the second spot in the conference. Denver was number three. After the win by the Broncos, Denver is now number two, while Cincinnati is the third team.

Here are the current AFC Playoff matchups.

1. New England bye
