In a tightly contested matchup, the Buffalo Bills secured a 17-10 victory over the Denver Broncos in Week 16 of the 2026 season. Both teams were hungry for a win as they jockeyed for playoff positioning, but it was the Bills who ultimately came out on top.
Josh Allen led the way for Buffalo, throwing for 256 yards and a touchdown while also showcasing his ability to move the ball efficiently. Khalil Shakir was his favorite target, racking up 115 receiving yards to keep the Broncos' secondary on their toes. On the ground, J.K. Dobbins provided a spark for Denver, accumulating 111 rushing yards but ultimately fell short of leading his team to victory.
