On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Bills beat reporter Jay Skurski from The Buffalo News to go over several of their biggest takeaways from the Bills exciting (and stressful) wild card road victory in Jacksonville on Sunday before quickly turning their attention to Denver.

Of course, Josh Allen is the primary reason the Bills are living to fight for another week and Jay has plenty of first hand accounts of what he seen from covering the game in Denver. However, while Josh did the heavy lifting on the offensive side, plenty of "aging" veterans saved the day defensively to keep the Bills in the game while the offense was floundering a little. Jay has thoughts on guys like Shaq Thompson, Tre White and Matt Milano rising up when the unit absolutely needed it most.

They spend some time discussing what is looking like a complex injury report for this week heading into the Denver game, and Jay has thoughts on who he think may and may not be good to go by Saturday. Speaking of, Denver is the No. 1 seed and coming off a bye week. How much will that be advantage, what are some things to worry most about with Denver and what's a few areas that can be exposed?

Plus, Jay spent personal time with Bills head coach Sean McDermott on the eve of the final game ever at Highmark Stadium a few weeks ago. Jay shares his experience with that and tons more.
