The Bills thumped the Broncos 31-7 in the Wild Card Round. We break down what’s next for them in the Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs.
The No. 2 Buffalo Bills took care of business on Sunday afternoon, beating the No. 7 Denver Broncos 31-7 in the Wild Card Round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs. With the win, the Bills advance to the Divisional Round, where they’ll host the Baltimore Ravens next weekend at Highmark Stadium. The full schedule has not been announced, but the game will take place either next Saturday or Sunday.
The Broncos gave the Bills a tough time in the first half. They led 3-0 and only trailed 10-7 at halftime. However, Josh Allen found his groove in the second half. He threw two touchdown passes across the third and fourth quarters. The Bills added two field goals and cruised to victory.
This will mark the second playoff game between the Bills and Ravens. Buffalo won a Divisional Round matchup between the two teams in January 2021. These two teams faced off this past September in Baltimore, with the Bills losing 35-10.
This is the fifth straight season the Bills have advanced to the AFC Divisional Round. Four years ago they reached the AFC Championship, but each of the past three years they’ve been knocked off in the Divisional Round. Last year and three years ago they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. In between, they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals.
