The Buffalo Bills are coming off a hard-fought win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card Round of the AFC playoffs. The Denver Broncos, meanwhile, are coming off a bye week after earning the AFC’s one seed via a 14-3 regular season. Buffalo’s injury report reads like a CVS receipt. Denver’s injury report reads like a Hemingway novel.

The bell tolls for both teams this weekend, as a trip to the AFC Championship Game awaits either Denver or Buffalo. And while the sun also rises after a loss, each team would much prefer the sound of victory to the...

The six seed Buffalo Bills are en route to Colorado to take on the one-seeded Denver Broncos in a Divisional Round playoff game many expect to be close. Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses to leverage and exploit, as you’d expect.

If you’re looking for a what-if scenario for a Bills loss, it’s looking pretty safe to say that if Denver wins, it’ll be their defense getting the credit.

Denver Broncos’ defense is elite

For a brief refresher, per my rule of four only the top four teams in the league get to use the “elite” label....

The Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills are set to meet in the NFL Playoffs for the second consecutive season. This time, though, the seeding is a near mirror-image of last season’s final standings. After the 2024 NFL season, the two-seeded Bills hosted the seven-seeded Broncos, winning 31-7 in a game that was much closer for most of the day than the final score would indicate.

This time, it’s the one-seeded Broncos hosting the six-seeded Bills. Denver is coming off a bye week, with their last game coming in a 19-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers’ backups on the...

The Buffalo Bills (12-5) head out west to take on the AFC’s top seed, the Denver Broncos (14-3), Saturday afternoon in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, a rematch of last year’s Wild Card round, which saw Buffalo rout Bo Nix and the Broncos 31-7 at Highmark Stadium.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by sharing the key matchups to watch and positional analysis as quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills look to earn another road playoff win and make it back to their second straight AFC Championship game.

The Buffalo Bills last official injury report ahead of their Divisional Round playoff game against the Denver Broncos reads a bit like Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales”: It’s a lengthy read with an ensemble cast. The Bills latest injury news covers 14 players, with five listed as questionable for Saturday’s game.

Bills players ruled out vs. Broncos

Earlier in the day, we covered the news that head coach Sean McDermott ruled out safety Jordan Poyer (hamstring) and rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston (ankle). It’s unfortunate news for regarding both players, but veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White has played fantastic football in...

The Buffalo Bills will head into their Divisional Round playoff game against the Denver Broncos without two important starting defensive players. On Thursday, head coach Sean McDermott ruled out safety Jordan Poyer and rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston.

It’s not ideal news for a Bills defense looking to slow down a Broncos offense that’s made a living with fourth-quarter comebacks during the 2025 NFL season. Fortunately for Buffalo, cornerback Tre’Davious White has been playing exceptional football, surrendering just three catches (including one touchdown), and a 33.2 passer rating allowed in the last five games (including playoffs), while earning a 90.7 coverage...

The Buffalo Bills (12-5) face another stiff challenge in the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs, heading to Denver to take on the top-seeded Broncos (14-3) at 4:30 p.m. EST Saturday afternoon.

As the Bills prepare to play the Broncos, who boast one of the NFL’s best defenses, a stout run defense, and plenty of pass rushers, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by hearing from quarterback Josh Allen, safety Cole Bishop, wide receiver Keon Coleman, head coach Sean McDermott, and other members of the Bills as the team gets ready to take on the Broncos.

When the Buffalo Bills hit the field against the Denver Broncos inside Empower Field at Mile High, they’ll do so with one of the league’s most experienced active kickers who spent seven campaigns in Denver between the 2007 and 2013 NFL seasons. Now 41, kicker Matt Prater may be in rarified air as someone well-suited to provide the stabilizing kicking force Buffalo needs to come out on top in the Divisional Round matchup on Saturday.

To understand why and how Prater won the starting role for the Bills, one needs to look back to the summer of 2025. Buffalo entered...

Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady isn’t just preparing for the Denver Broncos this weekend, he also has a second head coach interview lined up. After a request to interview for the Baltimore Ravens’ head coach job, Joe Brady has also received a request to interview for the Miami Dolphins head coach job, per the Palm Beach Post.

Brady is from Pembroke Pines, Florida, about 15 miles from the Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium.

During the 2025 offseason, the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Chicago Bears requested interviews with Brady. This year, the Baltimore Ravens have requested...

The Denver Broncos are going to be playing in their coldest game of the season on Saturday when they face the Buffalo Bills. Normally that weather would likely be in Denver’s advantage, but against the cold-weather Bills, the Broncos are out of practice in the cold temps in 2025/2026.

Every game in Denver this year has kicked off with a temperature over 60 degrees. That streak is going to be snapped on Sunday with kickoff temps in the high 30s approaching 40. By the end of the game, temperatures could be in the 20s.

The coldest temperature at kickoff for...

Now that we’re full-on into the playoffs, it’s time to stop looking in the rearview with our Secret Superstars series, and start looking forward to the next game with Postseason X-Factors. The principle is the same — using game tape and metrics to uncover those hidden gems for every team who are primed to bring their best when their franchises need it the most.

*The Buffalo Bills have quite the depleted receiver corps right now, and though Josh Allen has other ways to make plays, somebody from that group would be well-served to step up against the Denver Broncos’ rabid...

It’s the NFL playoffs. Win or go home. When the stakes are this high, you do anything it takes to win the game. We saw Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers play on what turned out to be a torn ACL as the ultimate highlight of that mentality. That’s not to disparage the lesser tales of grit either.

The Bills took a beating against a Jacksonville Jaguars team that seemed intent on causing harm at times. In the end, Buffalo took home the W. In addition to their grit, there was one other secret. They were willing to play outside...
