Before their regular season matchup with the Miami Dolphins in Week 18, the Buffalo Bills were aware of the stakes. Even though the Jacksonville Jaguars' loss to the Tennessee Titans had essentially guaranteed the Bills a postseason place going into the game, they still recognized that a loss would make things more difficult for them in the postseason.
The Bills would have dropped to the seventh seed and would have needed to go back to Miami next week to take on the Dolphins in the Wildcard Round if they had lost to the Dolphins in Week 18. Any other playoff game they would play would also be away from home. It's obvious that circumstances are not to be envied.
Following their victory over Miami on Sunday night, the Bills secured the No. 2 spot and the AFC East championship. They will now play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday of next week in the wild-card round.
