Looking Ahead: Bills Playoff Picture
With the Bills qualifying for the postseason more than 98% of the time in the last eight seasons, it's hard to picture them not doing it again this season.
Franchise QB Josh Allen is one of the premier talents in the league. But he will have to try again with a new coach, as the Bills have released head coach Sean McDermott, who led the franchise to multiple AFC East titles.
The Bills are in the playoffs. They did not have to face the Chiefs, Ravens, or Bengals, as all three missed the postseason. But the Bills still lost, losing to the Broncos in the Divisional Round.
Are the Bills Out of the Playoff Picture?
No, the Bills have officially clinched a playoff spot. They defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars but lost to the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round.
Bills Playoff Chances vs. AFC East
The Bills have held sole ownership of the AFC East for the last five seasons. Given their lack of progress compared to their divisional rivals, it seems more likely that they will win their sixth consecutive division title.

Their next opponent is the Denver Broncos after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars.
