DENVER – This is how the Denver Broncos live.
Sweat it, then pull it out.
It happened again Saturday at Empower Field – and this time it punched a ticket to the AFC Championship Game.
The Broncos survived the Buffalo Bills for a 33-30 victory in overtime of the AFC divisional playoff, winning with Wil Lutz’s fourth field goal, a 24-yarder with 10 minutes, 16 seconds elapsed into OT. The game-winning kick was aided by two Bills defensive pass interference penalties after Denver gained possession with JaQuan McMillian’s interception.
But that’s not the only major drama enveloping Sean Payton’s team, which notched its NFL-high eighth victory this season after trailing in the fourth quarter.
