Bills Face Broncos in High-Altitude Showdown

The Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos kicked off their playoff clash with a bang, but not the kind you'd expect. Early on, both teams had to deal with injuries. Denver's Marvin Mims Jr. had a rough start, and Buffalo's Dorian Williams looked worse. Both walked off, but it set a tense tone. The Bills and Broncos have history. Last year, Buffalo stomped Denver 31-7. Josh Allen was on fire, throwing two touchdowns and running for another. The Broncos' only bright spot? A missed field goal. Not exactly a highlight reel. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers pulled off a dramatic win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Down big and missing star George Kittle, the Niners relied on their defense and Christian McCaffrey's heroics. McCaffrey scored two touchdowns, sealing the deal.The Bills also squeezed past the Jacksonville Jaguars. Josh Allen put the team on his back, scoring three touchdowns. But he's banged up—foot, knee, and finger. Not ideal for facing Denver's fierce pass rush. Speaking of Denver, they're healthy, rested, and playing at home. Their defense is brutal, leading the league in sacks. Allen is the better quarterback, but the Broncos' altitude and defense will test him. This playoff season is wild. Twelve fourth-quarter lead changes already, and it's just getting started. The league is tight, and every game is a battle. Today's games? Bills vs. Broncos at 4:30 p. m. ET, and 49ers vs. Seahawks at 8 p. m. ET. Buckle up—it's gonna be a ride.
