Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen was limited in practice on Tuesday, listed as having foot, knee and right finger injuries. Despite a limited designation, Allen told reporters, "I feel good" as the team prepares for theirdivisional round matchup with the Denver Broncos on Saturday.
The Bills were able to overcome a tough Jaguars team in Jacksonville, winning 27-24, behind three Allen touchdowns, 273 passing yards and 33 yards on the ground. Two of Allen's three touchdowns came in the running game as he carried Buffalo to their sixth win in the last seven games, dating back to the end of November.
Allen plays like a bowling ball the way he rolls over defenders week in and week out. Even with a limited practice designation just a few days out from the biggest game of the season, there isn't anyone in Buffalo who believes Allen will miss this game, no matter how sore he may be.
Last season,Allen took home his first MVP award, and the Bills advanced to the AFC title game. This year, Buffalo is looking to advance to consecutive AFC championship games for the first time since the franchise appeared in four straight Super Bowls in the early 1990s. Before Allen's arrival, fans in Buffalo hadn't seen this level of success in decades.
Denver will be looking for ameasure of revenge on Saturday after being eliminated convincinglyin last year's wild-card round at the hands of the Bills, in Buffalo, 31-7. The roles are reversed this time as the Broncos are the higher seed and have the home-field advantage in this matchup.
Saturday's divisional game between Buffalo and Denver kicks off at 4:30 p.m. ET from Empower Field at Mile High.
