For the first time in nine years, the Denver Broncos are heading into the post-season, after a 38-0 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, January 5.

Rookie quarterback Bo Nix's 89.7 percentage completion tally in the week 18 game broke Payton Manning's eleven-year-old single-game franchise record; his completion rate was 89.29 percent against the Raiders in 2013.

Fans came out early to celebrate their team and stayed late. Here are scenes from Empower Field at Mile High Stadium:
