Buffalo Bills: Offense Emerges in Upset of Broncos to Go 2-1
The Buffalo Bills took down the Denver Broncos 26-16 on Sunday in a rather surprising manner.
The Buffalo Bills defeated the Broncos at New Era Field on a super warm day to go 2-1 on the year and 2-0 at home.
The win proved a lot of “experts” wrong.
The play of the defense is no longer a surprise, but an expectation.
The defense played outstanding again. The Broncos were shut down in the second half scoring only three points.
However, the interesting story this week is the offense.
