The Bills, the No. 6 seed in the AFC, advanced to the Divisional round with their Wild Card game win over the Jaguars. Quarterback Josh Allen passed for one touchdown, and rushed for another two in the 27-24 comeback. Head coach Sean McDermott's crew is looking to secure its second straight AFC Championship Game appearance – and, ultimately, the faithful in Buffalo are rooting for their team to make its first Super Bowl appearance since the 1990s (and score its first Super Bowl win ever).
As the AFC's No. 1 seed, the Broncos, meanwhile, arrive at the Divisional round fresh from a first-round postseason bye. Head coach Sean Payton's team ended the regular season on a two-game win streak; they secured the AFC West division title with an overall record of 14-3.
Heading into Saturday, the Bills and Broncos have met twice in the postseason: in the 1992 AFC Championship Game, and last year in Wild Card play. The Bills won both matchups.
