The Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills went against each other in the Divisional Round of the 2026 playoffs.
The Bills have been dominant in playoffs in the past years but they’ve failed to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the past years. This year the Chiefs didn’t make the playoffs so it was a big opportunity for the Bills and QB Josh Allen to to finally reach the Super Bowl but there’s a new tough competitors in the AFC, including the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots.
The game ended a draw in regular time (30-30 score). Extra time was added, the Broncos won 33-30.
Football coach Mike Tomlin has resigned as Pittsburg Steelers’ head coach after 19 years.

The last time that the Steelers won a playoff match was on 15-Jan-2007. Supporters have been frustrated for years. On 30-Nov-2025 some fans were chanting “fire Tomlin” during the game lost to the Buffalo Bills, same in their playoff game against the Texans on 12-Jan-2025.
