Bills...30 Broncos...23
DENVER — Now it all comes down to a trip to San Diego for the right to represent the woeful AFC West in the playoffs.
The Broncos blew an early 13-0 lead and lost to the Buffalo Bills, 30-23, in the second-coldest game (17 degrees at kickoff) in Denver’s history, setting up an all-or-nothing game against the Chargers next week for the division title.
The Broncos (8-7) led the Chargers (7-8) by three games with three to go, but now face the possibility of having led the West by themselves from opening weekend through Christmas with nothing to show for it.
The Chargers beat Tampa Bay earlier in the day in a game that was blacked out at Invesco Field by the Broncos.
The Bills (7-8) are the fourth out of the last five visitors to Invesco Field to leave with a win.
Quoteworthy: “They’re a good team, they’re playing better now, and they’ve got all the momentum.” -- Brandon Marshall, Broncos receiver, on the San Diego Chargers
