Since the Broncos finished as the seventh seed in the NFC, they will face the No. 2 seed Buffalo Bills. Denver will travel to Highmark Stadium in New York for its first round postseason clash since Buffalo earned home field advantage by finishing as one of the top four seeds.

The Broncos needed a win against the Chiefs to confirm their spot in the postseason and they did so convincingly. Denver's rookie quarterback Bo Nix was the star of the show, completing 26 of 29 passes for 321 yards and four touchdowns. Denver will want Nix to continue his excellent run in the postseason.

The Broncos and Bills have met once in the postseason. They batted in the 1991 AFC championship game which Buffalo won 10-7. Denver will aim to upset the home team on Sunday.

This is the first time that the Broncos have made the playoffs since the 2015 season. However, the Broncos have to overcome a massive challenge to contain Josh Allen and Co. in the first round of the playoffs.
