ENGLEWOOD — Bo Nix expects Broncos Country to bring the noise.

The second-year quarterback will make his home NFL playoff debut at 2:30 p.m. Saturday when the Broncos play the Bills at Empower Field for a divisional-round matchup. Nix made his NFL postseason debut last year in a 31-7 wild-card road loss in Buffalo.

On Tuesday, after practice at Broncos Park, Nix recalled: “Last year was a tough environment.”

He will soon get a rematch in playing at a familiar high elevation with the help of home fans.

“I expect it to be extremely loud,” Nix said. “I expect it to be a great environment. Similar to what it’s been recently of the past several home games, but something tells me it’ll be kicked up a notch. … It’s going to be a fun time.”

Bills quarterback Josh Allen outdueled Nix in their previous playoff meeting. Allen threw for 272 yards passing on 20-of-26 completions with two touchdowns to account for a sparkling 135.4 QB rating. Nix held his own with 144 yards passing, one touchdown and no interceptions.

The Broncos quarterback has plenty of respect for the Bills’ 2024 NFL MVP.

“He just goes out there and does superhero stuff,” Nix said. “I think one of the things that separates him is just his toughness. His ability to go play after play at his maximum velocities (and) his peak performance. It’s been fun to watch him play over the course of his career. … He’s just a kind of a generational talent.”

Nix earned respect from the NFL this season with seven comeback victories en route to claiming the AFC’s top playoff seed. He won’t overlook the Bills, especially considering that Buffalo is a 1.5-point road favorite via FanDuel.

“We have to start fast,” Nix said. “We have to make sure we match their tempo and not let them get out because they played last week, and we can’t let this bye week affect us with a slow start.”

Nix described the wild-card loss to Buffalo last season as a learning experience. He’s ready to take the next step Saturday with the reward of home-field advantage.

“It’s nice for that challenge to be on the other side,” Nix said. “Being able to use verbal cadence, being able to talk (and) being able to communicate is going to better for us at home.”
