Some important story elements for each game are included, along with a preview of the NFL playoffs’ first round.
Regarding the Bills, they are possibly the most exciting team in the AFC. They had fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and were 6-6 going into their Week 13 bye. It was a poor start to the season. The fact that Buffalo went on to win five straight games down the stretch, including a victory in Miami in Week 18, elevated them to the title of AFC East champions and secured their current position as the conference’s No. 2 seed, suggests that the break and coaching change were extremely beneficial. Josh Allen has given up a lot of passes this season, but his performance in other areas has outperformed the interceptions, solidifying Buffalo’s status as a dark horse Super Bowl contender. The Bills’ ascent to the No. 2 seed also guarantees that at least two playoff games will be played at Highmark Stadium, which is a huge accomplishment considering how much better this team is at home than away. The Bills are 7-1 at home this season and have averaged 14.8 points more than their opponents.
