» Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. needs just one interception to join Mike Harden as the only players in Denver history with multiple picks in eight consecutive seasons.

» Running back Phillip Lindsay needs 178 yards from scrimmage to become the fourth Broncos player to reach the 2,000 scrimmage yards mark in 22 games.

» Linebacker Von Miller needs a half-sack to pass Charles Haley, Cameron Wake and William Fuller for sole possession of 30th place on the NFL’s all-time list.

» With 2.5 sacks, Miller can leapfrog Jim Jeffcoat for 29th place all time.

» Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders needs one reception to reach 400 with Denver.
