Moore, a 2021 second-round pick who had a limited run with the Bills (nine receptions in nine games), says he provided insights in meetings and answered whatever questions Denver asked. He landed with the Broncos after being waived by Buffalo and is now helping the Broncos prep for the matchup as Buffalo struggles to field a healthy group at receiver. The Bills had attempted to add help at WR before the trade deadline, but those moves didn’t pan out 💬🧠.
Buffalo enters the weekend shorthanded at wideout. Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers suffered ACL injuries in the wild-card win over the Jaguars, and Joshua Palmer is on injured reserve, leaving Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman as the only other healthy receivers on the roster. The Bills’ WR depth is at a low ebb, making Moore’s insider role for the Broncos even more significant as Buffalo’s pass-catching options are stretched thin 💥📉.
On Buffalo’s side, Mecole Hardman and Brandin Cooks were brought in to bolster the receiver room, and Hardman was elevated from the practice squad on Friday. Those additions are expected to play big roles for Buffalo’s offense as they navigate the injuries, while Denver benefits from Moore’s information as they prepare for the game. The dynamic adds a clear angle to the matchup, with both teams trying to tilt the slate in their favor 🧩🔥.
Buffalo isn’t sleeping on its rival, either. Last year in the playoffs, the Bills dominated a young Broncos team, but this year’s quarterback evolution under Bo Nix has Denver more dangerous. Bills DC Bobby Babich noted Nix’s growth, including his comfort with the offense and his rushing threat. The Bills know this isn’t the same Broncos squad, and they’ll need to account for a more mature Nix as they look to advance 💡🏈.
