AFC Playoff Picture: Buffalo Bills secure win over Kansas City Chiefs

The Buffalo Bills beat the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs

The Buffalo Bills beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, ending KC’s perfect season and giving the Bills a chance at the one seed and first-round bye.

The Bills weren’t able to catch the Chiefs in the standings and still need a KC loss in order to pass them. Kansas City has a favorable schedule, so I still think it’s a long shot.

The Pittsburgh Steelers won to keep pace at 8-2 in a very top-heavy race among the three teams. The Houston Texans play on Monday night.

In the Wild Card race, the Baltimore Ravens fell from fifth to sixth but keep a playoff spot despite their loss to the Steelers. The Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals play on Sunday night in what has become an incredibly important game. The Denver Broncos keep winning, beating an Atlanta Falcons team on Sunday to stick in the final Wild Card spot.

The Indianapolis Colts are one game back after beating the New York Jets.
