The Buffalo Bills can longer get a first-round bye in the AFC, but the door is slightly ajar for a move up. Still, the most likely scenario is they end up as the four seed following a wild Week 17.
At the center of the drama is the Cincinnati Bengals’ win over the Kansas City Chiefs. In order for the Bills to move up to third in the conference this week, the Bengals needed to lose. Instead, Cincy’s win keeps Buffalo in the four spot. If the Chiefs or Bengals lose in Week 18 while the Bills win, Buffalo can pass them and get to third or even second if both lose.
