Buffalo Bills Find Itself at the Right Spot to Make a Deep Run in the Playoffs
The Buffalo Bills finished their regular season with a 12-5 record and are now headed into the wild-card round of the playoffs as the number five seed from the AFC. Despite dominating their division rival, the New York Jets 35-8 on Sunday, they fell short of securing the number four spot that would have given them home-field advantage in the next round.
Instead, the Bills will face the third-seeded Jacksonville Jaguars in a road matchup next weekend due to being seeded as the sixth seed. However, if things go their way, the Bills could potentially find themselves facing a much more manageable path to the Super Bowl with a few favorable outcomes for other teams.
If the Los Angeles Chargers can knock off the second-seeded Patriots and the Buffalo Bills then get to play the winner of the Houston Texans vs Pittsburgh Steelers matchup, they would likely face the top-seeded Denver Broncos in the divisional round.
The Bills' next opponent is one that could potentially bring some challenges for them. The Jaguars finished the regular season with a strong 10-7 record and have the talent to give Buffalo trouble on both sides of the ball.
