Struggles on the road

A big factor for this game between the Bills and Broncos is New Era Field. The Broncos have struggled on the road this season. The Broncos have a 1-4 record on the road this year. Their lone win away from home came against the Chargers, a 20-13 win.

In a twist though, it’s more about the defense on the road. That side of the ball has allowed an even five passing touchdowns at home and on the road. But away from Mile High, the Broncos have allowed six rushing scores while only giving up one at home. But the passing game isn’t suspect, either. Opposing QBs when facing the Broncos in front of their own fans have a 70.6 completion rate. In Colorado, that drops to 61.4 percent.
