Payton's Broncos stood little chance against the Bills, but one exec believes Denver is close to being "very good — like, 13 wins good."

As the crowd sang along to "Shout'' each time the Buffalo Bills scored Sunday, the Denver Broncos were left with a clear and painful football message ringing in their collective ears about a season in which an eight-year playoff drought came to an end.

The Denver Broncos are preparing for perhaps the toughest playoff game that any team will face this weekend when they travel to Buffalo to face a 13-4 Bills team that many expect to contend for the Super Bowl.
