Buffalo and Denver have plenty of matchups that have been analyzed time and time again, including Denver's elite defensive front potentially causing headaches for the Buffalo offensive line. Their group has logged the most sacks in the NFL this season, and will be going against the least sacked quarterback in the league in Josh Allen.
One key area for both teams going into this matchup, is that both teams are essentially fully healthy ahead of Sunday.
The Buffalo injury report has a lot of names, but not a lot of issues. Nearly everyone on the list is a full go for Sunday, with return specialist Brandon Codrington the only question mark. The team is as healthy as they've been all season, namely on defense, where Terrel Bernard, Matt Milano, and Taron Johnson are all good to go.
Denver has a similar situation. The only player ruled out for Denver is backup tackle Frank Crum.
The two teams being healthy is how fans will want the game to be played. Having games decided by injuries is always a bummer, especially in the playoffs. Fortunately for both sides, that doesn't appear to be an issue going into the game.
Buffalo's biggest test in this game will be getting past the Denver defensive front, but the Broncos have been most susceptible against the run over the last month. Buffalo might not need to attack down the field often in this game to be successful, especially against Surtain.
The Chargers' Gus Edwards averaged 4.9 yards per carry against the Broncos a few weeks ago, as did the Colts' Jonathan Taylor when he ran for 107 yards against them the week prior. James Cook and designed quarterback runs could keep the Bills ahead of the chains.
