The Broncos couldn’t have pulled off their fake punt any better.
Unfortunately for them, it was all for naught.
Coach Sean Payton pulled the trick play out of his back pocket early in the second quarter of Sunday’s wild-card clash against the Bills as the Broncos, trailing by three, faced a fourth-and-8 from their own 43-yard line.
Punter Riley Dixon, a former Giant, then took a step forward as if he were about to punt, only to throw it to a wide-open Marvin Mims Jr. for a 15-yard gain and a first down.

The Broncos, however, could not take advantage with a fresh set of downs at the Buffalo 42-yard line and Dixon punted four plays later, with none other than Mims Jr. downing the ball at the 1-yard line.
Denver got off to a flying start, as rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Troy Franklin on the first drive of the game to give the visitors a 7-0 lead.
The Bills, though, took a 10-7 lead into halftime in Orchard Park after dominating possession and mostly stifling the Broncos offense.
Broncos kicker Wil Lutz had a chance to tie the game right before halftime with a 50-yard field goal attempt, but he doinked it off the right upright and it fell short of the crossbar.
A Tyler Bass 26-yard field goal on the Bills’ first drive got them to within 7-3, and running back James Cook finished a 13-play, 81-yard drive with a 5-yard touchdown run to give the Bills the lead.
