I keep hearing guys like Berman and Collinsworth saying the fact that the Broncos now have to play the Bolts in a quasi-playoff game completely takes Ed Hochuli's call off the hook.

First, both teams have a helluva lot bigger reasons that they're still not a playoff lock despite playing in the second worst division in football. But more important, the Hochuli call is nearly just as huge as it's always been, media guys. If San Diego had won that previous game, I believe it would've clinched the division yesterday and the Broncos would be already out. Right? Why don't those guys know this?
