Buffalo Bills come back to knock off Denver Broncos in 232.44-139.22 landslide

Buffalo Bills stepped up, cruising to a 232.44-139.22 win over Denver Broncos, who fell short of projections. Buffalo Bills nabbed an early 5.00-point lead on Thursday. Denver Broncos came back to take the lead during the early round of games on Sunday, powered by Pat Freiermuth (12.2 points) and Jonathan Taylor (7.3). Not to be deterred, Buffalo Bills got it going on Monday night with their back against the wall, as Stefon Diggs (53.8 points) and Josh Allen (36.34) put them back in the lead for good. Buffalo Bills (2-0) will look to sustain their winning ways against Minnesota Vikings, while Denver Broncos (0-2) will attempt to get back on track against Las Vegas Raiders.

Coach Talk

Buffalo Bills
You know what, Buffalo Bills, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes gumption to roll out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the W! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Denver Broncos
Unless Denver Broncos wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and three TE) collectively got a healthy 26 targets in Week 2. With only 14 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
