BUFFALO, N.Y. — Friday afternoon, the Broncos shuffled off to Buffalo in advance of their Sunday afternoon duel with the Bills.
Eastbound trips to play in early-afternoon games have not caused any unusual problems for the Broncos in their recent history. Since the start of the 2011 season, the Broncos are 14-4 in games that begin at 11 a.m. MT.
Ultimately, the time and the trip won’t decide the game. What happens on the surface at New Era Field will.
What are the keys to the game?
1. Contain the Bills’ pass rush
There are plenty of ways to do this, starting with the obvious: take care of pass protection up front.
