Thank you Tennesse Titans! Your win against the Jacksonville Jaguars just punched Buffalo's ticket to the postseason! Kinda remarkable as we all thought the season was over back when they were 6-6, and now they're 10-6!
However, it's not over. With a win over the Miami Dolphins tonight, Buffalo could elevate itself to the AFC East champs for the fourth consecutive year and the second overall seed in the AFC and host the seventh seed in Wildcard Weekend (currently that spot is held by the Pittsburg Steelers who also needed a Jacksonville loss to see the postseason...of course they could have also done it with a Buffalo loss, so I'm glad our game doesn't matter as much to them). The Dolphins are currently without key defensive weapons in Bradley Chub (out with an ACL injury from last week's game), Xavier Howard (foot injury), and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles tear in the Black Friday game). It's also been reported that Raheem Mostert (running back) and Jaylen Waddle (receiver) on the offense are expected to sit this game out due to ankle injuries.
That's not to say Buffalo isn't also missing key defensive players--All Pro Matt Milano fractured his leg in week five against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and cornerback Tre'Davious White tore his Achilles in week 4 against the first game against the Miami Dolphins back in October. Thankfully, the Bills did get back DaQuon Jones who had been out with a torn pectoral muscle since week 5.
It will certainly be an interesting game as, should Buffalo lose, they'd have to travel right back to Miami next week to face them as the seventh seed.
