Bills Defeat Broncos 31-7 in Playoffs

The Buffalo Bills triumphed over the Denver Broncos 31-7 in the wild-card playoff, but the game was much closer than the final score suggests. The Broncos initially took the lead with a touchdown from rookie quarterback Bo Nix, marking a historic rookie connection in the playoffs. However, Buffalo dominated thereafter, scoring 31 unanswered points and controlling the game with a strong rushing attack that amassed 210 yards. The Broncos' defense, which had performed well during the season, struggled against the Bills' offensive line, leading to a disappointing end for Denver after their first playoff appearance in nine years. Bills coach Sean McDermott praised his team's performance, particularly in the second half, and emphasized the importance of winning at home. Buffalo will advance to face the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round, while the Broncos will turn their focus to next season.
