The Buffalo Bills defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-24 in the wild-card game over the weekend to advance to the next round of the playoffs despite Josh Allen’s injury.

Allen completed 28 of 35 passes for 273 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions, while logging 11 carries for 33 yards and two rushing TDs against the Jaguars. The reigning NFL MVP, who entered the game nursing a bone injury in his foot, also sustained knee and finger injuries during the game.

A banged-up Allen received more bad news ahead of his divisional round game against the Denver Broncos, as the Bills will be without wide receivers Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers.

Davis tore his ACL during the fourth quarter of the game against the Jaguars. Fellow wide receiver Shavers also suffered a torn ACL during Sunday’s 27-24 victory. Shavers played through the injury during the second half of the wild card game, per Bills coach Sean McDermott.

The Bills also lost Joshua Palmer last week after placing him on injured reserve due to a lingering ankle injury. The Bills now have three wide receivers on their roster: Brandin Cooks, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.

Bills star quarterback Josh Allen acknowledged Broncos’ defensive prowess

The Bills’ injury-ravaged offense will be tested by Denver’s solid defense in their next postseason game. Bills quarterback Josh Allen acknowledged the challenge of facing Denver’s “studs.”

“They’ve got some absolute studs over there,” Allen said when asked about Denver on film. “They rush the passer extremely well… interior they’re again some big stout guys that can really push the pocket… and they can stop the run in the back end too.”

Allen highlighted the challenge of squaring off against Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, hailing him as “an absolutely fantastic football player.” The Bills will need another heroic performance from the reigning NFL MVP to get past the Broncos, as they will be without their top wideouts.
