The game between the Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills has been a rollercoaster so far. The Bills have moved the ball well, but Denver's defense has held strong, especially in the red zone, keeping the score tied at 10-10. The Broncos got a boost when offensive lineman Frank Crum caught a touchdown pass, making the score 10-7 in their favor. This came after a crucial fumble recovery by Denver, which gave them great field position. The Bills started strong with a touchdown pass from Josh Allen to Mecole Hardman, but Denver answered with a field goal after a dropped touchdown pass by Lil'Jordan Humphrey. The Broncos have had some trouble holding onto the ball, with drops and a fumble nearly costing them. However, their defense has been solid, stopping Buffalo in key moments.
Injuries have been a factor, with both teams losing players. Connor McGovern of the Bills was cleared to return after a head injury, while Pat Bryant of the Broncos is out with a concussion. Patrick Surtain, Denver's star cornerback, left the field after an injury but later returned. The Broncos need to take advantage of Buffalo's weak run defense, but their own rushing game has been struggling. The Bills' pass defense is tough, and Josh Allen has been a challenge for Denver's defense. The Broncos will need to make plays to overcome Allen and the Bills' strong defense.
