During the Broncos' second drive, a concerning injury occurred to Bills starting cornerback Taron Johnson. The incident unfolded as Johnson's helmet collided with the knee of a Denver player, leaving him prone on the field. Medical staff promptly attended to Johnson, who then walked to the blue tent for further evaluation. Fortunately, the Bills later confirmed that he had cleared concussion protocol, although his return to the game remains uncertain as he is listed as questionable.
The loss of Johnson has been described as 'pivotal' by a source, underscoring the impact of his absence on the Bills' defense. Despite this setback, the game continued with the Broncos being forced to punt after the Bills' defense successfully executed a three-and-out sequence.
