Pat Surtain: Losing to Bills last year stung, but we're a different team

Our Summary

The Denver Broncos are preparing for a playoff rematch against the Buffalo Bills, recalling their last encounter in the previous season's AFC wild card round. In that game, the Broncos, seeded seventh, were defeated 31-7 after Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw two key touchdown passes in the second half. Cornerback Pat Surtain emphasized the experience was educational for the Broncos, who had not reached the playoffs since 2015. Surtain stated that the team has evolved since that loss and is ready to apply those lessons. This year's matchup will see the Broncos hosting the game, offering them a potential home-field advantage.
