The Denver Broncos are set to face the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. The game will take place on Saturday, January 17 at 2:30 p.m. Mountain Time and will be broadcast on CBS, according to an announcement from the NFL.
The matchup marks a rematch between Denver and Buffalo from the 2024 Wild Card Round. It will also be the first game of this year’s Divisional Round schedule. The New England Patriots are scheduled to host the Houston Texans on Sunday for the other AFC Divisional Round game. Winners from both matchups will advance to play in the AFC Championship Game.
The Broncos secured a first-round bye as the top seed in their conference and will host their first home playoff game since 2015. They will face quarterback Josh Allen and the sixth-seeded Bills, who advanced after defeating the third-seeded Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Denver has a strong postseason record at home, with 17 wins and five losses all-time. If they win against Buffalo, they would host the AFC Championship Game.
