The Broncos head to Buffalo to face the Bills, who have lost two of their past three games. We’ll provide updates and highlights throughout the night.

The final game of the Week 10 schedule sends the Denver Broncos to Buffalo to take on the Bills in front of Bills Mafia. 

This is the last of three consecutive prime-time games for the Bills, who lost to the Cincinnati Bengals on "Sunday Night Football" last week, and defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on "Thursday Night Football" during Week 8. 

Coming off their bye week, the Broncos are riding their first winning streak since the beginning of last season. Their latest win was a shocking 24-9 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. The Bills have lost two of their past three games, falling to the Bengals last week and losing on the road to the Patriots in Week 7.

Broncos 15, Bills 8: Denver extends lead right before halftime

Denver played until the clock hit 0:00 in the first half.

On the Bills’ first play after a Broncos field goal, Denver snagged its second interception of the game, the Bills' third turnover.

Josh Allen threw the ball to his left and into the hands of Fabian Moreau, who was lingering in front of wide receiver Deonte Harty. It was Moreau’s first pick as a Bronco after he joined the team this offseason from the New York Giants.

Russell Wilson completed three short passes before Wil Lutz kicked a 40-yard field goal to put the Broncos up 15-8 to go into the break.

Wilson is 12-of-14 for 114 yards and a thrilling touchdown to Courtland Sutton, which had a 3.2 percent success rate, according to Next Gen Stats.

Josh Allen is 9-of-15 for 86 yards and a touchdowns, but had two interceptions. He has thrown a pick in six straight games. — Victoria Hernandez

Broncos 12, Bills 8: Denver answers with field goal

Denver responded after the Bills scored their first touchdown.

Late in the second quarter, Russell Wilson led the Broncos on a nine-play, 45-yard drive to get into field goal range.

The drive ended with kicker Wil Lutz converting a 49-yard field goal with 45 seconds left in the first half.

Denver’s successful field goal gave them a 12-8 advantage. — Tyler Dragon

Broncos 9, Bills 8: Dalton Kinkaid gets Buffalo on the board

The Bills finally scored with 3:36 left in the second quarter via a 22-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to tight end Dalton Kincaid.

On first-and-10, Allen dropped back as Stefon Diggs lured Patrick Surtain II away and launched the ball over defender Justin Simmons to find the tight end alone in the end zone.

On the extra point attempt, Broncos defensive lineman Mike Purcell was called for offsides, so Buffalo decided to go for the two-point conversion.

Allen threw the ball to wide receiver Gabe Davis in the back of the end zone and the Bills are only down one point with the score at 9-8. — Victoria Hernandez

Broncos 9, Bills 0: Courtland Sutton's toe drag swag adds to Denver's lead

Sean Payton and the Broncos elected to go for it on fourth-and-2 and were rewarded.

On Buffalo’s 7-yard line on fourth-and-2, Broncos QB Russell Wilson scrambled around to buy time in the pocket and lofted what looked like a desperation pass in the back on the end zone. Sutton caught the football near the sideline and dragged his feet before falling out of bounds.

The officials initially called the pass incomplete but reversed the call to a touchdown upon review. The touchdown gave the Broncos a 9-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

On the ensuing play, Broncos kicker Wil Lutz missed the extra point.

However, the extra point mishap didn’t overshadow the incredible toe-dragging catch by Sutton. — Tyler Dragon

Broncos have slim lead at end of first quarter

The Broncos have the only score of the game so far, a field goal that put them up 3-0.

Their offense has been assisted by back-to-back turnovers forced by the defense — a fumble recovery on the Bills’ first play of the game and an interception on their next drive. The pick was veteran Justin Simmons’ third of the season and 30th of his career.

The Bills defense almost had a touchdown when the ball rolled out after wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was tackled and Rasul Douglas picked it up and ran to the end zone. But the referees ruled that Mims Jr.’s elbow was down. — Victoria Hernandez

Broncos vs. Bills: A history lesson

The Bills-Broncos series dates back to the inaugural season of the American Football League in 1960, with the two teams meeting for the 41st time Monday night and the Bills holding a 23-16-1 series lead (including playoffs).

The two teams' first meeting came on Sept. 18, 1960, with the Broncos winning, 27-21, at Buffalo's War Memorial Stadium (a stadium made famous for being the home park for the fictional New York Knights in "The Natural").

The Bills' and Broncos' most important meeting came in the 1991 AFC championship game (the two teams' only playoff matchup). The Bills won, 10-7, to advance to Super Bowl XXVI, in which they lost to Washington. The 1991 AFC title game was a promising matchup of two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks, but the classic never materialized. John Elway was sacked three times and eventually had to leave the game with an injury, and Jim Kelly threw two interceptions.

More recently, the Bills have enjoyed a three-game win streak against the Broncos. — Jim Reineking

Bills start game with back-to-back turnovers

The Bills first two possessions ended in turnovers.

On Buffalo’s second series, Josh Allen’s pass was deflected and picked off by Broncos safety Justin Simmons on Denver’s 12-yard line.

The interception was Buffalo’s second in as many possessions. Bills running back James Cook lost a fumble on Buffalo’s first offensive snap of the game. — Tyler Dragon

Broncos 3, Bills 0: Turnover turns into points

The Broncos offense only got a net of six yards on their first drive and had to settle for a field goal after their defense forced a fumble on the Bills’ first play of the game.

Javonte Williams had a 3-yard run, then was stopped at the line of scrimmage before tackle Mike McGlinchey was called for a false start and pushed Denver back 5 yards.

On third-and-12, Samaje Perine had an eight-yard run, which forced the Broncos to kick a 40-yard field goal. Wil Lutz knocked the ball through the uprights to put Denver up 3-0. — Victoria Hernandez

Bills have turnover on first offensive play

The Bills would like a do over.

On Buffalo’s first offensive play, Bills running back caught a short pass from Josh Allen near the sideline and had the football stripped away by Broncos cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian.

McMillian quickly recovered the loose football before it bounced out of bounds at Buffalo’s 28-yard line. — Tyler Dragon

Bills at Broncos: Predictions, picks and odds 

The Bills are favorites to defeat the Broncos, according to BetMGM NFL odds. 

  • Spread: Bills (-7.5) 
  • Moneyline: Bills (-400); Broncos (+310) 
  • Over/under: 46.5 

USA TODAY Sports’ staff picks for this game: 

  • Lorenzo Reyes: Bills 25, Broncos 21: At some point, the Bills will need to figure this out, but failing to cover any of their last five games is a big concern. Denver was also on its bye and has been much improved, especially on defense, over the last month. If Buffalo cannot establish its rushing game, I think the Broncos keep this close. 
  • Tyler Dragon:Bills 25, Broncos 20: Buffalo’s shortcomings were highlighted in Cincinnati. The Bills’ defense is banged up and the offense lacks playmakers outside of Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. The Broncos have won two in a row, including a huge win versus Kansas City. But the Bills are 3-0 playing at Highmark Stadium this season. 
  • Safid Deen: Bills 27, Broncos 17: This game might be closer than we imagine with the Broncos earning some respect after their win over the Chiefs in Week 8. But the Bills are still the Bills, a perennial playoff contender despite their recent slide. Buffalo gets right at home this week against Denver. 
  • Victoria Hernandez:Broncos 27, Bills 24: The Bills defense let Joe Burrow scamper all over them in a road loss last week and return home to hopefully contain Russell Wilson, who scored three touchdowns in a statement win before the bye. The Broncos forced Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to commit five turnovers in the game and will be hungry to pick apart an inconsistent Josh Allen. 
  • Jordan Mendoza: Bills 31, Broncos 23: Can the Bills stop making mistakes? A Denver team coming off a bye and a win over the Chiefs will give Buffalo a scare, but trying to win there in primetime will be tough. The Bills pull away in the second half but this game ends up being a one-score game. 
Broncos vs. Bills inactives: Micah Hyde is out

The Bills' injury-depleted defense will be without two starters on Monday night, with safety Micah Hyde (neck injury) and cornerback Christian Benford (hamstring) both inactive. Both players suffered their respective injuries during the Bills' 24-18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9.

An AFC North battle saw the Baltimore Ravens − again − self-implode and blow a big lead, sustaining what has become a concerning pattern with this team. In the NFC, there’s no other way to say it: the Derek Carr move just isn’t working right now for the New Orleans Saints.

Here is USA TODAY Sports' Lorenzo Reyes' full rundown of the biggest winners and losers from Week 10.

Sunday marked the most game-winning scores with no time remaining in the fourth quarter in a single week in the league’s 104-season history.
