The Broncos don’t have to go far back in their memory to remember their last playoff meeting with the Bills.
He arrived in last year’s wild card round and it’s not a good memory for Denver. The Broncos traveled to Buffalo as the AFC’s No. 7 seed and held to one score until Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes late in the third quarter and early in the fourth.

The end result was a 31-7 loss and cornerback Pat Surtain said Tuesday the game was a good learning experience for a team that hadn’t made the playoffs since the 2015 season. Surtain also made it clear those lessons will be put into practice by a different team than the one that left the field a year ago.
“We left with a sour taste“, Surtain said via the team’s website. “It wasn’t the result we wanted, but there is a lot to learn and take away from this game. We know we are a completely different team. Last year is in the past.”
The two teams are built differently and there is a big change of venue as the Broncos will be the home team this time around. Just looking at last week’s results shows that being at home doesn’t guarantee anything, but it’s an advantage the Broncos will try to leverage with a longer stay in the playoffs in January.
