The\u00a0Denver Broncos<\/a> (14-3) now know their opponent for the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.<\/p>\n After the Buffalo Bills<\/a> beat the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> and the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> lost to the New England Patriots<\/a> on Sunday, the Broncos<\/a> will now host the Bills<\/a> in the divisional round on Saturday, Jan. 17. The league will announce the game’s time and television network on Monday evening<\/a>.<\/p>\n The game will mark a playoff rematch after Buffalo knocked Denver out of the 2024 playoffs with a 31-7 home victory<\/a> last season. The Broncos will be at home this time, but the Bills have a quarterback edge with Josh Allen, who has eight postseason wins on his resume compared to Bo Nix’s 0-1 record. Buffalo leads the all-time series against Denver 24-17-1.<\/p>\n If the Broncos beat the Bills, Denver will host the AFC’s conference title game on Sunday, Jan. 25.
