The Buffalo Bills have advanced to the AFC divisional round. It took a big effort and some of what awaits the team is already known.
The Bills (12-5) took a dramatic 27-24 wild-card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars (13-4) on the road on Sunday.
Next up is a recent postseason foe.
Buffalo’s time at Highmark Stadium has officially expired. With the Los Angeles Chargers losing to the New England Patriots on Sunday night, it means the No. 6-seeded Bills are the lowest one remaining in the AFC playoffs, setting up a divisional trip out west.
The Bills officially will face the top-seeded Denver Broncos (14-3) next weekend:
What we know: Kickoff will be on Saturday at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium… were just don’t know when.
The contest will either be at 4:30 p.m. or 8 p.m.
It’s a slightly shorter week for Buffalo, but that won’t matter that much. The Broncos had a first-round bye as the No. 1 seed anyway.
The Bills defeated the Broncos 31-7 last season at Highmark Stadium during the wild-card round.
The NFL will announce full kickoff times for the divisional round following the conclusion of wild-card weekend. The final game is slated for Monday between the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bills Wire will provide updates as information is made available.
