Slumping Bills seek a spark as they prepare to host the rested Broncos
Associated PressORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The rut the Bills find themselves in has grown so deep, running back Latavius Murray called an offensive players-only meeting to remind his teammates just how much talent is on Buffalo’s roster. “I think we’re a lot further down the road, and because of that, you get that much more invested and recognize the next opportunity at hand.” While much of the focus would have normally revolved around Bills edge rusher Von Miller facing his former team for the first time since being traded by Denver to the Los Angeles Rams two years ago, this isn’t the time to reminisce. I think they’re ready for the challenge and that’s what the Buffalo Bills do.” BRONCOS ABOUT-FACE Denver’s defense still ranks last in the league in yards allowed and is tied for 31st in points surrendered, but the Broncos have held their last three opponents to 19, 17 and nine points — and two of those were against the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs. “That’s the standard we’ve held ourselves to these past few weeks, so it’s a great thing going on.” MILLER TIME Miller said there’s no bad blood between him and the Broncos because he left on good terms after spending his first 10-plus seasons in Denver. “What a better week to get it done than this week, ‘Monday Night Football’ going against my old team.” ___ AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton contributed.
