The Buffalo Bills’ Week 18 game against the New York Jets has been moved to 4:25 PM Eastern. Joining Buffalo in the late afternoon are the New England Patriots, who play the Miami Dolphins. If Buffalo wins or the Patriots lose, the Bills are the AFC East champs. If Buffalo loses and New England wins, the Patriots win the AFC East again.
The NFL likes to put these important scenarios in the late afternoon time slot. It gives both teams something to play for having them be at the same time, making the games more interesting and competitive.
