Quite honestly, opening the season, nobody expected us to do this, but we didn’t really listen to that,” Broncos QB Bo Nix said.

With a 10-7 record, Denver got the final wild-card spot in the AFC playoff field. As the No. 7 seed, the Broncos will play the No. 2 Buffalo Bills in a first-round game at noon CST Sunday at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. CBS will televise the game.

The Broncos turned a must-win game into a rout. And don’t think for a moment that it wasn’t earned. They absolutely deserve this playoff berth.
