The Denver Broncos were not in action during the NFL's wild-card weekend after earning the AFC's No. 1 seed and the bye week that comes with it.
After getting a week to rest, heal and prepare for their divisional-round game, Sean Payton's squad now knows who it will be facing in its first home playoff game since the 2015 NFL playoffs.
The Broncos' opponent was determined by the results of the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Buffalo Bills game and the New England Patriots vs. Los Angeles Chargers games. Denver won't have to wait to see who wins the "Monday Night Football" battle between the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers before beginning preparations for their first playoff game of the 2025 NFL season.
Here's what to know about Denver's divisional-round opponent and the overall shape of the NFL playoff bracket.
The Broncos will play the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the 2025 NFL playoffs.
Denver drew its matchup after the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Chargers on "Sunday Night Football." That guaranteed the No. 6 seed Bills, who upset the Jaguars in the final seconds during a 27-24 wild-card win, would be the lowest-remaining seed in the AFC and thus face the Broncos in the divisional round.
The Broncos will host their divisional-round contest at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver. They will have home-field advantage leading up to Super Bowl 60 as long as they are playing during the 2025 NFL playoffs after earning the AFC's No. 1 seed.
