The divisional round of the NFL playoffs will kick off later today as the Buffalo Bills will go into Denver and take down the 1-seeded Broncos.
Buffalo earned the right to play today after they took down the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend. Quite frankly, Jacksonville was not a great matchup for Buffalo but yet the Bills still got the job done.
Even though Denver is the top seed in the AFC, they don’t feel like a true No. 1 team as a lot of their wins were by one score. While the Broncos do have a solid defense, the offense has slowly declined as the season went on. However, Buffalo still has to do whatever it takes to leave Denver with a ticket to the AFC Championship game.
As fans of both teams get ready for this showdown in Denver, here is some important info for fans to be aware of, per the Buffalo Bills' PR team.
