Sean Payton realizes the challenge of defending Josh Allen

The Denver Broncos, the top seed in the playoffs, are set to face the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round. The matchup follows the Bills' 31-7 victory over the Broncos in the previous year's wild-card round. A key challenge for the Broncos will be managing Bills quarterback Josh Allen, recognized for his physicality and ability to extend plays. Broncos coach Sean Payton highlighted Allen's size, mobility, and competitive nature as factors that make him difficult to defend. The winner of this game will advance to face the winner of the Texans-Patriots matchup, with a Super Bowl LX berth on the line.
