Who will the Buffalo Bills play in the AFC Divisional round?

The Buffalo Bills are headed back to the Divisional Round for the sixth straight season. The Bills won a back-and-forth affair 27-24 after Josh Allen led them on a game-winning drive in the final three minutes. The game saw seven lead changes and came down to the final minute. The Bills converted a 4th and 1 with one of the most impressive QB dive plays we’ve ever seen before Allen punched it in from the one yard line. Buffalo is headed to the Divisional Round to face one of a handful of teams depending on the outcome of the remaining Wild Card games.

Sunday result: The Patriots beat the Chargers on Sunday evening, which means the Bills are the worst remaining seed in the AFC playoff bracket. They will travel to face the Broncos in the Divisional Round.

The Bills will find out their Divisional Round opponent either tonight after Chargers-Patriots or Monday after Texans-Steelers closes Wild Card weekend. The NFL re-seeds and as the No. 6 seed could face one of four different opponents. If the Patriots beat the Chargers on Sunday evening, Buffalo would travel to Denver next week. If the Chargers beat the Patriots, the Bills would travel to face the winner of Monday’s Texans-Steelers game.

Record: 22-17-1 regular season, 2-0 postseason all-time
