The Bills travel to Miami to face the Dolphins where the winner will be crowned AFC East champion, but Buffalo punched its ticket to the AFC ball before taking the field Sunday night thanks to the Jaguars’ loss.
Buffalo might have had the most interesting situation of any team entering the final week. They could be as high as the two seeds, but also could have missed the playoffs entirely. This is a team that no one wants to face and has legitimate Super Bowl potential.
Here’s everything you need to know about their playoff storylines:
How Bills Can Prevail
Here are the four ways the Bills could clinch a playoff spot:
- Dolphins win earns AFC East title and two seeds (TBD)
- Tie clinches playoff spot (TBD, not necessary)
- Jaguars loss/tie clinches playoff spot (Lost Jags)
- Texans-Colts tie clinches playoff spot (The Texans won)
It’s kind of crazy that we’re even talking about a winner-take-all AFC East title game, considering the Bills were three games behind the Dolphins with five games remaining. They could be the fourth team in NFL history to win a division after three games with five weeks remaining, joining the 1973 Bengals, 2008 Chargers and 2022 Jaguars.
