The Denver Broncos are back in the playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season.

Nine years later, the Broncos have now returned to the postseason and they are set to play against the Buffalo Bills — and Von Miller.

The Denver Broncos are back in the playoffs after nine years, and fans across Colorado are preparing for a road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Bo Nix is the 14th starting quarterback since Peyton Manning retired and became the first since then to lead Denver to the playoffs.
