McDermott knew ‘it was going to be a battle’ to beat Broncos on Sunday
‘”Anytime you can win, it’s a good win, especially in the playoffs. At home, great environment. Appreciate the fans, man, they’re just incredible. Every week, every time we play here, it was good to see our team come out. We knew it was going to be a battle, and it was”, McDermott told the media.’
Allen: Bills had ‘so much faith’ within their group against Denver
‘”Our offensive line did a great job of getting looks that we liked and taking advantage of it. And they moved guys off the ball today. ‘Jimbo’ [James Cook] ran the ball hard, or the all of our backs ran the ball hard, and then you incorporate some of the quarterback run stuff, and I think that really messes with the defense”, Allen told the media.’
Opinion: One down, three to go for Bills
‘By halftime it was still a close game with the Bills up 10-7 thanks to the Broncos missing on a 50 yard field goal attempt right before the intermission. When the Bills got the ball with 8:40 left in the third quarter they led by just six points, 13-7. There wasn’t a single moment where I thought they might actually lose this game but I didn’t anticipate sweating this one out as long as I did either.’
Opinion: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Broncos at Bills

Conversely, the Bills gave up the fewest sacks in the NFL (14) and had the lowest rate of sacks per pass attempt against them (2.69%). Whichever of these units – the Broncos defense or Bills offense – can maintain their rate of success – will go a long way in determining who wins.’

McDermott: Broncos built ‘the right way’
‘”They’re built the right way. They’ve got a great defensive line, and they have a No. 1 corner,” said McDermott during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “Usually, when you have those two combined, you have a chance to have a great defense, and that’s what they do. They have a really good defense. They get after the quarterback, they’re able to stop the run, and then they’re able to take away because of their No. 1 corner, your best receiver. That’s a good combination.”‘
Opinion: Bills will look to Nix Broncos’ postseason
‘The Bills defense has to be aware of Nix’s ability to use his legs as a weapon. Nix has 430 yards rushing, and had the second-most scrambles for a first down. Only Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had more.’
