Quarterback Josh Allen endured more play-off heartache as the Denver Broncos beat the Buffalo Bills in overtime to move within one win of the Super Bowl.<\/b><\/p>\n
Having secured the AFC’s top seed, Denver had home advantage and led 23-10 during the third quarter, before the Bills twice came from behind to make the final score 30-30.<\/p>\n
Allen had a chance to clinch victory in overtime, but the Broncos claimed an interception before kicking a field goal to win Saturday’s Divisional Round game 33-30.<\/p>\n
That means that despite reaching the play-offs in seven straight seasons, racking up eight play-off wins, the NFL’s reigning Most Valuable Player is still to reach the sport’s biggest game.<\/p>\n
The Broncos, however, have claimed their first play-off success since winning the Super Bowl for the third time in February 2016.<\/p>\n
That game took place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, which will also stage this year’s edition, Super Bowl 60, on Sunday, 8 February.<\/p>\n
Now, Denver can look forward to the AFC Conference Championship game next weekend at home to the winners of the Houston Texans at the New England Patriots on Sunday (20:00 GMT).<\/p>\n
However, the Broncos later confirmed that quarterback Bo Nix, who threw three touchdown passes, suffered a broken ankle on the game’s final drive so has been ruled out of the rest of their play-off run.<\/p>\n
