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.
