    The Bills like to put their receivers in bunches, because it works! Then they put their speed receiver on a crosser. This is how you attack.

    It's confusing, who is covering who, then you run the crosser.

    Curtis Samuel was able to get separation. It's hard to track a receiver coming across like that when you aren't able to line up and get hands on him.

    Game over?

    Buffalo keep producing on clutch downs.

    Big third-down-and-six to begin the fourth quarter - and Josh Allen finds Curtis Samuel, who takes yards after the catch to a new level by making two, maybe three, Denver defenders miss for a 55-yard touchdown.

    That's the end of the third with Buffalo on their own 42 and looking to go down and score and kill this game off, Denver haven't managed a thing offensively in this second half, but first they need a stop before trying to engineer a comeback.

    15 minutes to go in our first game of the night...

    Coming towards the end of the third quarter and Josh Allen has the ball in his hands again - you fancy any kind of points on this drive could be enough.

    Bo Nix is seeing traffic, lots of traffic. Where are you going to throw that ball? There's defenders everywhere.

  7. Denver to punt againpublished at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 12 January

    Bo Nix is faced with a third-and-11 after a false start penalty, and he can't convert as he fires a dangerous pass across the middle and is almost intercepted by Damar Hamlin.

    That's two three-and-outs for Denver in the second half with Nix yet to complete a pass. Not ideal when you're 14 points down.

  8. Touchdown Confirmed!published at 20:04 Greenwich Mean Time 12 January

    The touchdown is confirmed and Josh Allen comes back out for the two-point conversion, which he completes by finding Keon Coleman in the end zone to make it a 14-point lead.

    That was a gutsy call on fourth down for the touchdown, as Denver took away all the short options for Allen to just get the first down, but he rolled the dice and was rewarded with the score that could have taken this game away from Denver.

    Ty Johnson is one of their best pass catching running backs. For him to come up huge in that moment, it's phenomenal.

    What a throw and catch, his feet never touched out of bounds. That's a touchdown to me.

    What a throw and what a catch by Ty Johnson as Buffalo stretch their lead.

    Josh Allen has all day but looks to be going nowhere when he eventually just heaves a throw into the end zone, where Johnson comes sliding along at the back of the end zone to just grasp the ball before it hurts the turf.

    The TV crew will be taking a closer look at it though. Did the ball hit the ground? Was his foot out of bounds? We'll find out soon.

    Ray Davis is helped off the field and into the locker room so hopefully is not too badly hurt. Watching it back again and Brandon Jones did not do too much wrong, and tried to pull out of the hit or at least lower his shoulder and not hit Davis in the head, but it's that sort of contact the NFL is trying to get rid of so it was always going to be a flag.

    Urgh! Josh Allen overthrows Ray Davis and as he's stumbling trying to get the ball he is wiped out by Brandon Jones in a savage hit that's sure to draw a flag.

    Davis looks pretty badly hurt and Jones rightly gets done for a helmet hit on a defenceless receiver, costing his side 15 yards.

    The main concern is over Davis' health right now though.

    Joe Brady (Bills offensive coordinator) has done a great job of making sure all these superhero plays don't have to be on Josh Allen anymore. If they're going to have prolonged success they need to be able to run the ball efficiently and then have those massive passes that Allen can do. But James Cook has taken a load off him.

    Buffalo again moving the ball with relative ease, this time with receiver Khalik Shakir getting a nice 19-yard catch-and-run showing his attributes of getting yards after the catch.

    Rookie running back Ray Davis then have a nice gain ruled out by another Buffalo penalty.

  16. Three and outpublished at 19:46 Greenwich Mean Time 12 January

    Then on third down, Bo Nix fires another tracer bullet over the middle but it's too hot for Troy Franklin he gets his hands there but the ball bursts through them and Denver quickly go three and out.

    Probably should have caught that one - it was tough but if you want to win a play-off game on the road you have to take some tough catches along the way.

    Denver come out trying to run the ball with Javonte Williams, but it's hard work just to get five yards with two rush attempts.

    Buffalo came out of half-time with a bit more of Josh Allen. They had to, the Broncos are not just going to let you run on them.

    It's another three instead of seven as Tyler Bass boots a 27-yard field goal. Josh Allen was furious as Pat Surtain got away with a pretty obvious holding penalty in the end zone on Dalton Kincaid, but the refs missed it and Buffalo have to settle for a field goal.

  20. Sacked!published at 19:39 Greenwich Mean Time 12 January

    Josh Allen is dancing around on third down on the six-yard line, he's got plenty of time but nowhere to go and eventually DJ Jones brings him down for the sack and the Broncos stand firm again inside their own red zone.
