Let’s get the less-than-stellar moment out of the way first: the opening drive put some concern into the hearts of Buffalo. Denver moved down the field with ease on their opening drive. During the series, both of Bo Nix’s pass completions were chunk plays. Troy Franklin ran past Taylor Rapp on his way to a 43-yard touchdown completion.
After that drive, the Bills defense shut things down. Nix ended the day with a paltry 144 passing yards on a 14-of-23 passing day. Buffalo was aided by multiple Denver drops.
Nevertheless, as the game progressed, the Bills gave up minimal space to Denver receivers. The scheme became more complex, and Nix struggled to get his receivers involved in a meaningful manner.
