There is no doubt that going up against Josh Allen is extremely concerning. He is one of the best, if not the best quarterback in the National Football League. That being said, I feel confident in Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph and his defense being able to execute and limit Allen’s impact enough to help lead the Broncos to victory. Though I’ll go in a completely other direction on this one compared to the rest of the staff.
The biggest concern I have is the Broncos being their own worst enemy. Time and time again throughout the course of the season, they failed to hit their stride—especially on offense—because of self-inflicted wounds. Dropped passes were an issue most every week. The Broncos are near the top of the league in offensive penalties. They were Top 5 in the league to having the most three-and-outs.
You can’t win in the playoffs by beating yourself. Those mistakes have to be cleaned up. They’ve got an extra week of preparation in compared to the Bills, so I’m expecting them to play disciplined and fundamental football. Let’s see if they come ready to play.
