Broncos vs. Bills third quarter recap

Story byTim LynchSat, January 17, 2026 at 11:52 PM UTC·3 min readAfter a disastrous final minute of the first half, the Buffalo Bills did get the ball to start the second half against the Denver Broncos.

On the second play from scrimmage, Nik Bonitto flew past his man to force a strip-sack on Josh Allen where the Broncos would recover for the third takeaway of the game for Denver. RJ Harvey was nearly stopped for a negative play on a quick pass from Bo Nix outside, but he broke the tackle and gained six yards instead. He would add another yard on an inside run that didn’t gain much.
