Broncs vs Bills Preview
The Denver Broncos (1-0) and Buffalo Bills (1-0) look to keep perfect records in preseason action on Saturday while developing backups and future talent.
To kick things off, the Bills will bring out starters first — including star quarterback Josh Allen and star pass rusher Von Miller. Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that and said “starters will play a healthy amount” in the team’s final home preseason game.
“He’s still showing the world that he’s still one of the best.” – @Mathieu_Era
At No. 93 on the countdown, @BuffaloBills new pass rusher @VonMiller still has it 😤

Miller will get to play against his former team, where he began his NFL career in 2011 and won a Super Bowl in 2016. The Broncos traded him to the Los Angeles Rams, where he won his second Super Bowl, before leaving for Buffalo as a free agent.
“This team is going to be great,” Miller said about the Broncos via Kyle Newman of the Denver Post. “It’s bittersweet that I won’t be here to be a part of it, because I’ve still got orange and blue in my heart and it will stay that way forever.”
Miller has sights set on winning a third ring for now with a franchise that fell short four times in the 1990s. The Broncos look to get in the Bills’ way for the AFC crown this season with the addition of quarterback Russell Wilson.
For Saturday, Denver will likely start journeyman backup Josh Johnson instead, Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett confirmed on Thursday, August 18. Johnson impressed in the preseason opener with 16-23 passing for 172 yards and two touchdowns for a 17-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
A fantastic catch indeed – but, how about this throw from XFL legend Josh Johnson?? This guy performs well in every single circumstance he’s thrown into. Johnson’s deep ball is simply gorgeous.
“Just wanted to do my job, lead the offense, get these young guys going, make sure I hold the ship down while Russ over here was coaching us up,” Johnson told 9NEWS after the game. “And I felt like we did a good job of that tonight. A lot for us to learn from and get better from.”
Johnson, who is competing with Brett Rypien for the first backup quarterback job, could gain more separation going up against Bills defensive starters. Rypien, the nephew of one-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Mark Rypien, went 8-18 for 113 yards passing.
Case Keenum, who once started for the Broncos, looks to secure the backup quarterback job in Buffalo after a lackluster performance in the opener. Keenum went 11-18 for 86 yards and two interceptions against the Indianapolis Colts in a 27-24 win on August 13.
Fellow Bills backup quarterback Matt Barkley made his case to catch Keenum by throwing for 224 yards and an interception on 18-24 passing against the Colts.
