‘The Broncos won 10 games this year but were only 2-5 against playoff teams (including the win over the Chiefs). Their best win was their first — a 26-7 win at Tampa Bay way back in September. They feasted on NFL-lesser lights with wins over the Raiders, Carolina, the Browns and Colts.’

Observations: Bills play it safe, chase records and incentives in season-ending loss to Patriots
‘“I think the ultimate goal every year is to win the Super Bowl. I don’t think; I know,” McDermott said. “We’re taking it one day at a time. When I’ve been to the Super Bowl, and I’ve been there twice, that’s how you’ve got to do it. Take it one day at a time, work your tails off to prepare. You can’t short-change it.”’
Ryan O'Halloran: The Bills should be wary of the Broncos, QB Bo Nix and a fierce pass rush. Buckle up

Bills running back James Cook ties Buffalo record for rushing touchdowns
‘As the Bills fell to the Patriots in the regular-season finale, Cook recorded his 16th rushing touchdown of the season, which tied the single-season franchise record set by O.J. Simpson in 1975.’
Three questions: Did the Bills get the most favorable playoff draw? Yes and no. Here's why
‘The Broncos’ defense ranks No. 1 in the NFL in sacks and No. 1 in overall defensive efficiency. The good news is that a strength-vs.-strength matchup between the Bills’ offense and the Denver defense isn’t unpalatable. It is less worrisome than a strength-vs.-weakness matchup, which would happen if Baltimore’s loaded offense comes to Orchard Park to face the Bills’ defense.’
Takeaways, game balls, gassers from the Buffalo Bills' season finale against the Patriots
‘The game included five quarterbacks altogether – Allen, Maye, Milton, Trubisky and Bills No. 3 quarterback, Mike White, who came in at quarterback with 1:00 left in the third quarter, though he had played a couple of snaps at wide receiver earlier in the game. White saw his first game action since Dec. 31, 2023, when he played five snaps for the Miami Dolphins in a 56-19 loss to the Ravens.’
Plays that shaped the game: Ray Davis' TD catch gave the Bills an all-time first in NFL history
‘Davis caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mitch Trubisky in the second quarter. That was the 30th touchdown pass of the season for Buffalo. Coupled with 32 rushing touchdowns on the season, the Bills became the first team in NFL history with 30 passing touchdowns and 30 rushing touchdowns in one season.’
Report Card: How the Buffalo Bills coaches pressed all the right buttons, even in defeat
‘Tyler Bass missed another extra-point attempt – his fifth miss of the season. Bass also had five field-goal misses on 29 attempts in the regular season. Put simply, he is a concern going into the playoffs. Brandon Codrington returned two kickoffs for 62 yards. He continues to look close to taking one to the house. Sam Martin punted four times for an average of 40.8 yards. Ja’Marcus Ingram made an excellent play to prevent the ball from going into the end zone and allowing it to be downed at the New England 6-yard line. Everything is magnified in the playoffs, so plays like that are what the Bills will need next week and moving forward.’
Bills backups lose but Buffalo goes into playoffs healthy and costs Patriots' No. 1 pick
‘We use the word loss loosely in this case. The team that really lost was the Patriots because by heroically winning their fourth game of a putrid season, they chef-kissed away the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. As a division rival, this made losing the game a very nice consolation prize for the Bills.’
