The Denver Broncos, having secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC, are set to start their NFL playoff journey today against the Buffalo Bills, who are visiting. Last week, the Bills managed to edge past the Jacksonville Jaguars with a close 27-24 victory, marking their first playoff game on the road since 1992. However, they’re entering this divisional weekend with a few concerns, particularly injuries to safety Jordan Poyer (hamstring) and cornerback Maxwell Hairston (ankle). Quarterback Josh Allen, too, is nursing some injuries to his right foot, left knee, and throwing hand.
The Broncos will kick off their playoff campaign at home today, where they have been impressive this season, holding an 8-1 record at Mile High.

Start Time for Bills vs. Broncos
The matchup is set to begin today, January 17, at 4:30 PM ET.
Free Viewing Options
If you don’t have cable, you can still catch the action through a live TV streaming service. Personally, I find DIRECTV to be a solid choice, especially since they offer a five-day free trial that includes CBS plus many other channels you’ll want for the NFL season. Once the trial is up, you can continue with over 90 live channels starting at $49.99 a month.
As excitement builds for today’s playoff clash, fans are certainly hoping for some memorable moments on the field.
