In a commanding performance, the Buffalo Bills triumphed over the Denver Broncos 31-7 in a wild-card playoff game, showcasing a well-balanced offense led by quarterback Josh Allen and running back James Cook. Allen connected on two touchdown passes while Cook rushed for 120 yards, marking a notable playoff outing for the team.
The Bills dominated the game, scoring on six of their first seven drives, which allowed them to maintain a significant 23-minute advantage in time of possession. Despite an early touchdown from the Broncos, Buffalo quickly regained control and never looked back.
Allen's pivotal 24-yard touchdown pass to Ty Johnson not only extended their lead but also highlighted his precision under pressure, as it came on a crucial fourth down. The victory sets up a rematch with the Baltimore Ravens, who had previously beaten Buffalo in Week 4. This playoff meeting not only revives the history between Allen and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson but also adds another layer of intrigue to the matchup.
