Bills' Josh Allen Faces Denver's Elite Defense
18 Jan
Summary
- Denver's defense recorded 68 sacks, fifth-highest in NFL history.
- Bills' offense struggles with run game and limited weapons.
- Broncos boast an 8-1 home record at high altitude this season.
The Buffalo Bills face a significant postseason hurdle as they prepare to play the top-seeded Denver Broncos. Denver's defense has been exceptionally disruptive, recording 68 sacks this regular season, a mark that ranks among the NFL's all-time best. This formidable unit aims to pressure Josh Allen, who is managing finger, knee, and foot injuries sustained recently.
The Bills' offensive capabilities are strained, with particular weaknesses in their run game and a lack of significant receiving threats to support Allen. This puts immense pressure on the quarterback to perform against a defense that has proven highly effective at limiting opposing offenses, especially at their high-altitude home field.
Denver's own offensive unit, led by quarterback Bo Nix, has also faced challenges with consistency, particularly in their rushing attack. Despite this, the Broncos are well-rested coming off a bye week, contrasting with the Bills' short week preparation, which could be a decisive factor in Saturday's crucial playoff matchup.
