Bills vs Broncos Free Streams: TV Channels & Preview for NFL 2026 Divisional Round Game

There's a sense of inevitability around the Bills and Josh Allen in particular this postseason, but the odds will be stacked against them on Saturday. As the No.1 seed in the AFC the Broncos are coming off a bye well-rested (whereas the Bills are playing on a short week), they went 8-1 at their high-altitude home this season, and their defense is amongst the most fearsome in the NFL.

Denver's defense racked up 68 sacks during the regular season – the joint-fifth highest total in NFL history – while limiting opposition QBs to a 57.8% completion rate and an average of 5.4 yards per attempt. Allen, of course, is no ordinary QB, but this is a limited Buffalo group that can't stop the run and doesn't really have any weapons to take the weight off Allen's shoulders.

Unfortunately for Sean Payton, the Broncos' rushing offense has been limp all year. That means tha even if the defense is able to get at Allen, who picked up finger, knee and foot injuries last weekend, they'll almost certainly need Bo Nix to produce the goods.

On his day, the second-year QB can be a game winner, but Sean McDermott handled him with brutal efficiency the last time these teams faced off. Nix went off for 64 yards and a score in the first quarter of their Wildcard Round meeting a year ago, but was shut out for the rest of the game.
