Will Tyreek Hill stay with the Dolphins or head to another NFL team?
USA Today’s Safid Deen breaks down the current situation with Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins.
Sports Pulse
The Denver Broncos shocked everyone when they took quarterback Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Then, they shocked everyone by reaching the playoffs. Sure, they couldn’t dethrone the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West, but they put up a good fight in their only game against them (Week 18 doesn’t count), only losing because their last-second field goal was blocked.
However, the Buffalo Bills may be a tougher opponent than the Chiefs. After all, the Bills were the only team to defeat Kansas City before they benched all their players in the final week.
Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen has played at an MVP level all season, but that doesn’t mean he’s immune to disappointing performances. On Oct. 6, Allen could only complete 30% of his passes in a loss to the Houston Texans. A week earlier, the Baltimore Ravens held him to under 60% completion and no touchdowns. Of course, that was early in the season, and Allen has turned his play to 11 to finish the season. If there was any team to limit Allen’s prowess through the air though, it’d be the Broncos and their elite secondary.

Lorenzo Reyes: Bills 34, Broncos 20
The Broncos have been a wonderful story this season. The Bills feel like a team, however, that is simply on another echelon. If there’s anyone who can break through Denver’s difficult defense, it’s Josh Allen, who has emphasized efficiency and has protected the ball. In Buffalo, the environment should be wild. Denver’s defense is incredibly aggressive and effective, but the Bills finished the season with a +24 turnover differential, eight points higher than the next closest team.
Tyler Dragon: Bills 28, Broncos 20
It’s already a successful season for Sean Payton’s Broncos. Denver is ahead of schedule. The Bills should be able to take control of this game early as they have the more talented team. Buffalo is undefeated at home this year. Denver’s stingy defense won’t make things easy for Josh Allen and company but expect Buffalo to win comfortably.
Jordan Mendoza: Bills 31, Broncos 20
Buffalo has looked like a No. 1 seed at several points this season, and Bo Nix will have plenty to deal with in front of the raucous crowd. Josh Allen dissects the Broncos defense with relative ease.
