Broncos Edge Bills in Overtime to Reach AFC Championship at Mile High

Powered by five takeaways and three Bo Nix touchdown passes, the No. 1 seed secured a home AFC title game.

Overview

  • Wil Lutz's 24-yard field goal won it in OT after a six-play, 75-yard drive extended by two Buffalo pass-interference penalties.
  • Bo Nix went 26-of-46 for 279 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, adding 29 rushing yards.
  • Denver's defense forced five turnovers and sacked Josh Allen three times, with Allen accounting for four giveaways.
  • Buffalo activated DT Ed Oliver and WR Curtis Samuel before the game, but injuries and turnovers negated a 449-349 yardage advantage.
  • Denver will host the AFC Championship on Jan. 25 against either the Houston Texans or New England Patriots.
