The Buffalo Bills’ current streak of making deep playoff runs opened in 2020 with a streak to the AFC Championship game. They lost that game to the Kansas City Chiefs — and have been eliminated from the playoffs by KC in three of the past four seasons — but the window is still wide open, thanks in large part to Josh Allen’s continued climb to the top of the ranking. NFL Quarterback Mountain. With a host of highlights under his belt, a 13-win campaign and handing the Chiefs their only meaningful loss of the year, Allen is an MVP frontrunner and Buffalo is looking to get back to a place it hasn’t been since 1993: the Super Bowl.
Standing in the way in the wild-card round are the Denver Broncos, whose current playoff window is just opening and rookie quarterback Bo Nix is ​​leading the team to the playoffs for the first time since Peyton Manning hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after Super Bowl 50. The defense Denver has been excellent this season, ranking third in the league in points allowed and seventh in yards allowed.
Being a game in Buffalo in January, weather could be a factor, with temperatures expected to be in the low 20s at kickoff with a chance of snow through the afternoon.
