Key things to know for Broncos at Buffalo Bills
This is the first time the Broncos have been in the playoffs since Peyton Manning was quarterback, and if oddsmakers are correct, they are significant underdogs.
DraftKings has the Bills favored by 8.5 points over the Broncos. This is the second-largest spread of the Wild Card weekend, with the largest being between Baltimore and Pittsburgh where the Ravens are favored by 9.5 points.
Ending the Denver Broncos' long playoff drought was especially poignant for left tackle Garett Bolles and wide receiver Courtland Sutton.
“GB and I are the two longest-tenured guys on the team, so we’ve been through the ugly,” Sutton said. “For us to be able to see this other side of it, and to be able to have this opportunity to continue this legacy of this season, man this is really dope.”
Who are the Denver Broncos’ most famous fans?“I am grateful for these last eight years," Bolles said. "It’s just made me who I am today, made this organization who it is today. I’ve gone through so many different coaches and so many different things and so many different quarterbacks. But to be in this moment, take this franchise back to where it belongs, in the playoffs, and be one of the longest-tenured Broncos, it’s the sweetest moment that I can think of.”
It was Feb. 7, 2016, when the Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. Their MVP of that game, Von Miller, now plays for the Bills, where he had six sacks at age 35 this season.
“We all know we’re not finished yet. The job’s not done,” said current Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, the odds-on favorite to win the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year honors, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.
Rookie Bo Nix is the 13th player to start at quarterback since Manning's retirement after winning Super Bowl 50. He said it was sweet to see the veterans such as Bolles and Sutton celebrate a playoff berth at long last.
“That’s really what it comes down to. That’s all of it,” Nix said. “Those guys have worked really hard. They deserve it, and they owned it this year. It means a lot. You hate to see the work you do each year and kind of be a little short, but this year was not. Those two have led us really well this year. They’re going to continue to lead us.”
