Turning point The Broncos got gutsy. Down 10-7 in the second quarter, Riley Dixon faked a punt and then threw a 15-yard pass to Marvin Mims Jr. for a first down. However, the play didn’t generate the momentum Denver had hoped for.

Head referee Bill Vinovich came over to Allen while he was sitting on the bench afterwards and spoke to him. Many believed Vinovich was explaining to Allen why a penalty wasn't called, which is a very odd occurrence. Referees do not wander over to the bench to chat to players very often, especially not star quarterbacks while they sit on the bench.

Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes, James Cook scored on a 5-yard run and finished with 120 yards rushing, and the Buffalo Bills leaned on a balanced offensive attack in a 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos in a wild-card playoff game.
