Key Matchups

Broncos front seven vs. Bills run offense

Buffalo currently ranks eighth in rushing yards per game. The combination of Frank Gore and Devin Singletary have both combined for 860 yards rushing. Denver has currently done well against the run since allowing over 200 yards rushing against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Some of the best running backs that Denver has faced have not fared well. Hopefully that trend will continue on Sunday.

Josh Allen vs. Broncos secondary

Josh Allen has completed a little over 60 percent of his passes this season. He has not flashed much, at least from what I have seen. But he does connect well with John Brown. Denver’s secondary has looked great as of late.

But they did not look good in the second half against the Vikings. They will look to bounce back. The key will be for the secondary to defend against the likes of John Brown and Cole Beasley.

X-Factor: Noah Fant

Buffalo does a great job at defending against the tight end. Noah Fant has come along as of late and is starting to really look like a great pass catching tight end. He has recorded 175 yards receiving on seven catches in the last two games.

The Bills defense will be in for a tough task on Sunday. They have shut down opposing tight ends before, but can they get it done? If Noah Fant can get things going, it could be easier for Brandon Allen.
