NFL 2023 is moving into one of the most pivotal months of the season. Many have written off Russell Wilson and Sean Payton with 9 games left for the Denver Broncos. Yet, it is hard to deny that they have what it takes to pull off a surprise, possibly a miracle. Having beaten Patrick Mahomes‘ Chiefs in their last outing, Payton and Wilson will be much more confident as they prepare for Josh Allen’s Bills.
While the Bills come off of a patchy run of form, they will be wary of the bouncing Broncos. Amidst the question of dominance, eyes remain on the roster for the Broncos. Matters finally look at ease for them with the release of the new injury report from the team.

This could turn into something concrete as they have 0 players unavailable for their clash against the Buffalo Bills.

Following a bye in which the team has recuperated, every single player is off the injury list. Baron Browning and Ben Powers were suffering from lingering injuries, but have since returned to full practice after Thursday. With a nearly full roster available to Sean Payton, he may pull off a ‘miracle of Christmas’ by the time the regular season comes to a close. Their game against the Bills on Monday Night Football will be a true test of their mettle.
Or, will it be? Wouldn’t it be more like a test for the Bills when they come up against the Broncos? That is a real question because the Bills are coming off a defeat from the Bengals. But worse of all, their injury report for the week is one of the worst in the league, as one starter after another saw his way in.
Better for Russell Wilson, worse for the Bills?

Quarterback Josh Allen was present in the Bengals match, but failed to help his team succeed. But digging deep, it may come as a concern that the quarterback has been dealing with a right shoulder injury. It kept him out of practice once last week, but he still got the nod to play the game. Although Allen participated in full practice recently, no one exactly knows how comfortably Allen is playing.
As if that was not bad already, wide receiver Stefon Diggs popped up on the report following Friday’s practice. He has a back injury reportedly and remains questionable against the Broncos. The clutter will be cleared after Saturday’s walkthrough, though his absence effectively means more bad news for the Bills. Not to mention they are fighting to avoid a losing streak after the Bengals defeat.
