Nix would march the Broncos down the field and would take the lead with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Lil' Jordan Humphrey and would force an Allen fumble on the Bills last drive of the half to add an extra three points to their lead to close out the half 20-10.

The Broncos defense would come up big and force an Allen fumble to begin the second half but was unable to find the endzone and had to settle for a Lutz 33-yard field goal to extend the lead.

Allen and the Bills offense would come back onto the field and waste no time to drive the football into the endzone after he found Keon Coleman on a short 10-yard touchdown pass to inch closer to the Broncos lead.

After both quarterbacks threw interceptions and each defenses came up big the Bills and the offense would be the ones to find the endzone next in the fourth quarter when Allen connected with Dalton Kincaid to take the lead 24-23.
