NFL Playoffs: The Denver Broncos beat the Buffalo Bills in overtime in the divisional round

Quarterback Josh Allen suffered more playoff heartache as the Denver Broncos beat the Buffalo Bills in overtime to move within one win of the Super Bowl.

After earning the top seed in the AFC, Denver had home advantage and led 23-10 during the third quarter, before the Bills came back twice from behind to make the final score 30-30.

Allen had a chance to pull away for the victory in overtime, but the Broncos got in their way before kicking a field goal for a 33-30 win.

That means that despite last week’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, making it six straight playoff winning seasons in Buffalo, the NFL’s reigning MVP has yet to make it to the biggest game in the sport.

However, the Broncos achieved their first playoff success since winning their third Super Bowl in February 2016.

That game was held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, which will also host this year’s edition, Super Bowl 60, on Sunday, February 8.

Now, Denver can look forward to next weekend’s AFC Conference Championship game against the winner of the Houston Texans at the New England Patriots on Sunday (20:00 GMT).
