‘It’ll be interesting to see how the Bills treat hybrid weapon Marvin Mims Jr. depending on where he lines up. He’s been moving all over the formation over the second half of the season, and the Broncos have made a concerted effort to get him the ball whenever he’s on the field. The Bills encouraging throws to him as if he were a running back may not be as wise. But if they treat him as a receiver when he’s lined up in the backfield, it could mess with some of their matchups elsewhere.’

Carucci Take2: Bills offensive line anchors team as Allen and McDermott aim for big playoff success
‘Making their first postseason appearance since 2015, the Broncos are on the fringes of this tournament. First, they punched their ticket last week by beating Kansas City, but the Chiefs, by resting many key starters, were a shell of the team that won 15 games.
