Bills Aim for AFC Champ Berth Without Mahomes
18 Jan
Summary
- Broncos, the top AFC seed, host the Bills in the Divisional Round.
- Josh Allen eyes playoff history with rushing touchdowns.
- Bills seek third AFC Championship appearance since 2021.
The Denver Broncos, having secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC, will host the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round. The Broncos, who finished the regular season 14-3, are leaning heavily on their strong defense to contain Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his offense at their home stadium.
Josh Allen is on the verge of NFL history, needing just one rushing touchdown to tie Jalen Hurts for the most postseason rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. A victory for the Bills would mark their eighth appearance in the AFC Championship game, equaling the Kansas City Chiefs' all-time record.
The game is scheduled for Saturday, January 17, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET from Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, airing nationally on CBS with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo on the broadcast.
