The Buffalo Bills experienced yet another heartbreaking loss during the divisional round.

The Bills were defeated by the No. 1 seed Denver Broncos in overtime. With many of the most experienced teams already out of the playoffs, the Bills thought they had a strong chance to make the Super Bowl despite a low seeding. Meanwhile, the Broncos proved their doubters wrong and held their ground against the veteran Bills.

The first touchdown was a Josh Allen pass to Mecole Hardman Jr., giving the Bills a 7-3 lead after one quarter. The Broncos responded in the second quarter with a passing touchdown to Frank Crum.

With just 22 seconds left in the half, Lil’Jordan Humphrey caught a 29-yard touchdown pass to give the Broncos a lead. Humphrey started the season on the Giants’ practice squad. The Bills got the ball back, but Allen fumbled the ball on a quarterback scramble. This was one of his four turnovers in the game. The Broncos ended the half with a field goal to make the game 20-10.
