After five straight years of playoff exits before the Super Bowl, the Buffalo Bills are back in the postseason in 2024 with perhaps their best chance of advancing there under head coach Sean McDermott. It begins Sunday afternoon as the No. 2 Bills host the No. 7 Broncos in the AFC Wild Card round.
I want to grow and develop into where I can compete and I’m on the same level as those guys,” Bo Nix said of the NFL’s other playoff QBs.
Since taking over the Buffalo Bills in 2017, McDermott has faced a rookie quarterback 17 times, including the postseason. The Bills are 13-4 in those games, including 2-0 in the playoffs.
With that, here are three keys to a Bills win vs. the Broncos: The Broncos’ pass rush is undoubtedly the team’s biggest strength. They led the NFL with 63 sacks, nine more than the second-most, and also led the NFL with 265 quarterback pressures, 10 more than the second-most. Along with that, their 37.4% pressure rate was third-best in the league.
In a way, you don’t have anything to lose,” Broncos QB Bo Nix said of going into the Bills playoff game as a big underdog.
Zoom in: Denver (10-7) has its own rising star in Nix, whose emergence as a passing threat and leader has Broncos fans dreaming about lifting the Lombardi Trophy for a fourth time.
The prospect of facing a rookie quarterback in his first playoff game normally would be a lick-their-chops moment for opposing pass rushers. Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, however, has succeeded this season where so many other rookies who scramble their way into sacks fail.
