One year after tossing two touchdowns in a wild-card win over the Denver Broncos, Josh Allen is ready to lead the Buffalo Bills once again against the Mile High franchise. On Saturday, January 17, these two teams will face off at Empower Field in the divisional round to determine who moves on to the 2025-26 AFC Championship game.
The Broncos did the heavy lifting during the regular season. Sean Payton‘s team finished as the top seed and secured a bye in the postseason. However, the Bills had to take the longer approach. They finished as the sixth seed, setting up a winner-takes-all showdown against the AFC South champions, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Allen threw one touchdown and rushed for a couple more, including the game-winning score, to drag the Bills across the finish line. They won 27-24. Denver lost by a big margin in Buffalo last year. They will start as the underdogs, but the Broncos are expected to make it a close contest.

Why can the Bills win?
Bills need Allen to be Superman once again. The reigning MVP singlehandedly dragged the Bills into the playoffs and helped beat the Jaguars in the wildcard. Allen is 3-1 against the Broncos. He has thrown 7 touchdowns and 3 interceptions against them.
Running back James Cook needs to have a better game in Denver. He only managed 46 yards on 15 carries. The Bills will miss Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers, which means Keon Coleman may become Allen’s number one target through the air.
Why can the Broncos win?
The Broncos have the best record in the league. They went 8-1 to finish the regular season. Second-year quarterback Bo Nix threw for 3931 yards, 30 total touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. In the previous fixture against the Bills, Nix threw for one touchdown and 144 yards in the Broncos single digit score.
Another name that the Bills need to keep an eye out for is rookie rusher RJ Harvey. Harvey accumulated 1249 scrimmage yards and scored 12 total touchdowns.
Moreover, the Broncos boast one of the best defenses in football. Denver allowed the second-fewest yards per game (278.2) this season and the fewest yards per play (4.8). Moreover, they finished as the team with the most sacks (averaged 4.0 sacks per game).
