Can Cody Barton lead the Broncos to their first playoff win since Super Bowl 50?
The Denver Broncos have recovered nicely from the Russell Wilson trade. They were a disaster in 2022, mediocre in 2023, and now under rookie quarterback Bo Nix and a stout defense this is a 10-7 team with a lot of promise for the future. Love him or loathe him, Sean Payton doesn’t coach terrible squads.
Still, this nice story for Denver could have a rough ending if the Buffalo Bills are on top of their game. Josh Allen is playing at an MVP level, plus that defense has recovered from the brutal Los Angeles Rams performance and been stout (Week 18 backups notwithstanding). The Bills are heavy favorites to set up a highly anticipated Bills vs. Baltimore Ravens showdown in the Divisional Round. If the Broncos pull off the upset, Denver will have a third meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs.
