The Buffalo Bills' playoff hopes are within reach! With the AFC East still up for grabs, the Bills have a golden opportunity to secure their spot in the postseason during Week 16 of the 2025 season.
Here's how the Bills can clinch a playoff berth:
- Scenario 1: The Bills win against the Browns on Sunday, December 21st, AND the Colts lose or tie against the 49ers on Monday, December 22nd.
- Scenario 2: The Bills win against the Browns on Sunday, AND the Texans lose or tie against the Raiders on Sunday, December 21st.
- Scenario 3: The Bills tie against the Browns, AND the Colts lose to the 49ers.
- Scenario 4: The Bills tie against the Browns, AND the Texans lose to the Raiders.
If any one of these four scenarios plays out, the Bills will have their playoff ticket punched before the final two weeks of the season. According to the NFL's AFC playoff picture, the Bills currently have a staggering 99% chance of making the playoffs after Week 15.
The Bills will play their final road game of the 2025 season on Sunday. Kickoff in Cleveland is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
But here's where it gets interesting: Could these scenarios change based on unexpected upsets or dominant performances?
