Miami Gardens, Fla. • Amid the dancing and screaming and hugs and high-fives in the Buffalo Bills' locker room, defensive tackle Kyle Williams watched his two young sons climbing around in his stall.
The Bills snapped the longest current non-playoff drought in North American pro sports, making the postseason for the first time since 1999. They avoided elimination by beating Miami 22-16, and clinched an AFC wild-card berth minutes later when Cincinnati rallied past Baltimore.
The Bills watched the dramatic finish of the Bengals game on locker room TVs, and then erupted.
"Everybody went crazy," said Williams, who is in his 12th and perhaps final season with the Bills.
