Here at Buffalo Rumblings, it’s a day of mourning for Buffalo Bills fans. The stench of a brutal 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos continues to waft down from up high in Colorado.
In perhaps his
most chaotic postseason performance, quarterback Josh Allen committed four turnovers yet still managed to put his team in position to steal a victory in overtime. Unfortunately for Bills Mafia and football fans alike, officiating took center stage in overtime after allowing both teams to play a more physical brand of ball for 60 minutes. Now, the Broncos move on to the AFC Championship game, but without quarterback Bo Nix whose broken ankle will sideline him the rest of the postseason.
Today, we find out if the New England Patriots or Houston Texans are Denver bound. The Patriots host the Texans for a 3 p.m. EST Divisional Round matchup that’s certain to draw the interest of Bills fans. To think that quarterbacks Drake Maye, C.J. Stroud, or Bo Nix Jarrett Stidham could play in a Super Bowl before Josh Allen? Insanity. Still, if you’re of a certain age then there’s zero chance you want to New England one step closer to the Super Bowl.
Late on Saturday evening, football fans were treated to a terrible game between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. Similar to Buffalo, San Fran just ran into a wall of injuries that proved to be too much to overcome, and it cost them big in losing 41-6. Will any team be able to stop the Seahawks?
Well, either the Los Angeles Rams or Chicago Bears are hoping to get a shot at it in Seattle next weekend. The Bears are a really fun story as an imperfect team that continues to surprise people behind the leadership of first-year head coach Ben Johnson. In their way tonight is a Rams team built for postseason play behind head coach Sean McVay and a wealth of offensive riches led by quarterback Matthew Stafford.
With that, here’s your open thread for all of Sunday’s Divisional Round playoff action. As always, be kind to one another — and in all things… Go Bills!
