More Good News!!!Bills Get Shocking Help in AFC Playoff Race

The Buffalo Bills are heading into their Week 12 bye week firmly in the hunt for an AFC playoff spot. Their chances improved after a surprising upset on “Thursday Night Football,” where the Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19. Before the game, the Steelers had the same number of losses as the Bills but were in control of their own fate for the AFC’s top seed, given their upcoming matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the loss to the Browns means the Steelers are now a full game behind the Bills and no longer have control over their playoff prospects.

While the Bills are still 0.5 games shy of the Chiefs for the first-round bye, this result gives them some extra cushion with Pittsburgh trailing. If the Chiefs fall to the Carolina Panthers this weekend, the Bills could take sole possession of the No. 1 seed in the AFC, a position they haven’t held since 1993 if they can maintain it through the playoffs. Buffalo faces some tough opponents ahead, including the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions, but for now, they can use the bye week to recover and prepare for the final stretch of the season.
