Orange and Blue Today

<p>One year ago, the Broncos walked into Buffalo wide‑eyed and overwhelmed. This year, they’re the No.1 seed, hosting the Bills, and carrying themselves like a team that expects to win — not hopes to. On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down the massive mindset shift inside the building. They dig into how last year’s Wild Card loss hardened this roster, why Bo Nix’s presence has changed the team’s confidence, and how playing at home as the AFC’s top seed gives Denver a completely different psychological edge.

Then they dive into how this year’s Bills have evolved — a more physical run game, a simplified offense, and a defense that’s healthier and faster. Finally, they compare that to how this year’s Broncos are built differently: a steadier QB, a tougher identity, and a defense that thrives in big moments. 🔥 In this episode: What last year’s Wild Card loss still tells us about this matchup How the Bills have changed — and why they’re more dangerous in some areas How the Broncos’ identity, QB play, and defense are dramatically different this time Which lessons from last year matter… and which ones don’t Tell us in the comments — does last year’s loss make you more confident or more nervous heading into this rematch</p>
