The divisional round of the 2026 NFL playoffs kicks off with the Denver Broncos hosting the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. The Broncos (14-3) tied for the league's best record, won back-to-back games to close the regular season and earned a bye as the AFC's No.

Vance Joseph knows he may be entering his final game(s) as Denver Broncos defensive coordinator, given the spate of NFL head-coaching interviews he conducted over the playoff bye week — and the likelihood he'll be offered one of those gigs in the coming days or weeks.

Coming out of their first-round bye, the Denver Broncos have released an updated depth chart ahead of their showdown with the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

The Broncos have been one of the NFL's best sides since Bo Nix arrived on the scene in 2024. They're hoping that can translate to postseason success sooner rather than later.

The Bills have two threats at tight end, and Denver has had issues over the past few weeks in handling those tight ends. Jahdae Barron has been a key piece in that, but he has been hit-or-miss as a rookie in handling this role.

Three NFL teams have already been linked to NFL Superstar running back, that would be a huge addition to their teams.

Going into the 2025 NFL playoffs, the Denver Broncos have a 2.6 Football Power Index (FPI) rating from ESPN, which ranks seventh out of the eight remaining playoff teams. FPI is "a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season," according to ESPN.com.

The best person to ask these questions would be Broncos head coach Sean Payton. And a good way to frame them in a concise fashion would be by using football technical terms, like "attacking downhill," as a means to reach Payton where he is, while also hopefully providing valuable, educational context for fans.
