Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver emphasizes the importance of focusing on the present as the team prepares for their AFC wild-card matchup against the Denver Broncos. During a recent media session, Oliver stated they cannot let past performances, including three consecutive playoff exits, dictate their mindset. The Bills have had a remarkable regular season, winning 10 or more games for six straight years, but have been repeatedly thwarted in the postseason, particularly by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Oliver acknowledges the team's awareness of past disappointments but insists that they must remain focused on the current game. He notes that the playoffs bring excitement, and the team's aim is to play their best football for the entire duration of the game. Buffalo's defense has shown strength against the run, ranking 12th in rushing yards allowed. As they gear up for the Broncos, Oliver underscores that the focus needs to be on executing effectively for all 60 minutes of play.
