The Denver Broncos will head on the road for a matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, August 20 at 1:00 p.m. ET, and it can be seen on NFL Network. Both teams are coming off preseason victories last weekend as the Broncos topped the Dallas Cowboys 17-7, while the Bills beat the Indianapolis Colts 27-24.
Denver Broncos
Denver made a big splash this offseason by landing Russell Wilson in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks, but he did not see the field in Week 1 of the preseason. Josh Johnson completed 16-of-23 passes for 172 yards with two touchdowns, and Brett Rypien stepped in and completed 8-of-18 passes for 113 yards. He connected on some deep balls to undrafted rookie wideout Jalen Virgil, who caught three passes for 83 yards.

It doesn’t look like we’ll get any of the big names for the Broncos today.
Russell Wilson is here in Orchard Park, but this will be the extent of his activity today.

Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen does not have a whole lot to prove during this preseason, and he did not see the field last weekend. Case Keenum got the start and completed 11-of-18 passes for 86 yards with two interceptions, while Matt Barkley completed 18-of-24 passes for 224 yards with a pick. Rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakir had a big game with 92 yards on five receptions, and Isaiah Hodgins caught nine passes for 77 yards.

Von Miller just told me he’s not playing today. He would be really the only healthy starter to not play today for the #bills

It looks like all the starters for Buffalo are going to see some playing time today outside of Miller, according to James Palmer. That means Allen, Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, Devin Singletary and most of the offensive line will likely be out there for one or two series.
