But the Bills dug themselves a hole early in the game with three brutal fumbles. The Broncos capitalized on the miscues, scoring 13 points off Buffalo's turnovers. Denver led 23-10 after hitting a field goal with 11:35 remaining in the third quarter.
But Allen battled back. The eighth-year veteran got the Bills within six points before ending a lengthy postseason streak by throwing an interception. Then Allen got back to work, finding Kincaid in the end zone and giving Buffalo its first lead since early in the second quarter.
Bo Nix also delivered in the clutch, hitting Marvin Mims for a 26-yard touchdown that put the Broncos up by three. But the Bills tied the score with an eight-play, 41-yard field goal drive that sent the divisional round showdown to overtime.
