The opening round of the NFL playoffs is one of the best football feasts of the year, but the 2025 edition has so far lacked the usual drama.

During the early window of Sunday's wild-card action, the Buffalo Bills defended their home turf at Highmark Stadium and sent the Denver Broncos packing with a 31–7 victory. Bo Nix and the Broncos got on the board early, taking a 7–0 lead before surrendering 31 straight points to the Josh Allen-led Bills offense.
