Broncos take 20-10 halftime lead as Josh Allen fumble sets up last-second field goal

Our Summary

A fumble by Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen significantly impacted the game against the Denver Broncos just before halftime. Following a touchdown by Broncos quarterback Bo Nix to wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey, which gave Denver a 17-10 lead, Allen opted to run instead of taking a knee. This decision resulted in a fumble, recovered by the Broncos, allowing them to kick a field goal as the second quarter ended, extending their lead to 20-10. Humphrey's touchdown was his first successful catch in the end zone, having dropped a potential score earlier in the game. The Bills, trailing by 10 points at halftime, face an uphill battle to recover from the costly turnover.
