Playoff scenarios
The Bills have already locked up the No. 2 seed in the AFC, rendering the game meaningless for them.
The opponent the Bills will see in the first round has yet to be determined, but will either be the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins or Cincinnati Bengals, depending on how other games go. To read more about how those scenarios work, click here.
The game does mean something for the New England Patriots, however. The Patriots are currently in line for the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft and would likely need to lose the game to stay in that position.
