The Denver Broncos are set to host the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round on Saturday, January 17 at 2:30 p.m. Mountain Time. The game will be broadcast locally on CBS, with Jim Nantz providing play-by-play commentary, Tony Romo as analyst, and Tracy Wolfson reporting from the sideline.
This marks the first home postseason game for the Broncos in ten years. Historically, Denver has a strong record at home during the playoffs, with 17 wins and five losses. A victory would send them to their eleventh AFC Championship Game.
Quarterback Bo Nix leads the top-seeded Broncos against Josh Allen, who was named MVP in 2024 and quarterbacks the sixth-seeded Bills. In another Divisional Round matchup, the New England Patriots (second seed) face off against the Houston Texans (fifth seed).
The matchup features notable strengths on both sides of the ball. The Bills have an offense tied for fourth in scoring and possess the league’s best rushing attack. They will challenge a Denver defense that ranks third in scoring defense and second against the run. The Broncos also lead in yards allowed per play, sacks, red-zone defense, total defense (second), and third-down defense (second). Meanwhile, Buffalo is ranked fourth for both third-down offense and red-zone offense.
On offense, Denver holds the tenth spot in total yardage this season and allowed fewer sacks than any other team. Their rankings include fourteenth in scoring offense, eleventh on third downs, and thirteenth in red-zone efficiency. The Bills’ defense is seventh overall but lower on third-down (twenty-fourth) and red-zone (nineteenth) metrics.
