Now that the dust has settled in the NFL following a ridiculous back-and-forth Monday Night Football game between the Browns and Ravens to end Week 14, we now know the entirety of what needs to happen for the Bills to advance to the 2020 postseason.
Entering Monday, the Bills would’ve locked up a playoff berth if the Browns won. Alas, the Ravens did. But after that, here’s how things look.
It’s a short list.
Win.
If the Bills (10-3) beat the Broncos (5-8) on the road on Saturday in Week 15, they’re not only in, the AFC East title would be locked up, too. But even if the Broncos pull off the upset, the Bills can still get their first division title since 1995.
It’ll come via the Patriots, too.
If the Bills lose, they can win the AFC East if:
- The Patriots (6-7) beat the Dolphins (8-5) on the road
The Patriots cannot win the AFC East, but must win out to have a shot at a Wild Card spot.
In the same scenario with a Bills loss, a playoff berth again can be clinched if:
- The Ravens (8-5) lose this week against the Jaguars (1-12)
In terms of other rooting interests, the Bills can move up the conference standings with:
- A win and Steelers (11-2) loss to the Bengals (3-8-1)
To find a way to first, the Chiefs (12-1) need to lose two more games in their final three while the Bills must win out. The Chiefs visit the Saints in Week 15.
