The Buffalo Bills were able to hold on against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round.
The Jaguars, to many’s surprise, were in contention for the No. 1 seed in Week 18. However, because the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots won their games, the Jags stayed put at No. 3.
Despite the Jags being the higher seed, they draw the Bills in the opening round, which is brutal.
On the other side of the ball, it’s Josh Allen, the former MVP, who knows there are no Kansas City Chiefs in his way of the illustrious Super Bowl title. After getting beaten up all game, Allen scored the game-winning touchdown with his legs.
Here’s a look at the potential opponents for the Bills after their win over the Jaguars in the playoffs.

Who do the Bills play next?
This season was certainly not a failure; that remains to be determined in these playoffs; however, the Bills were lackluster by their standards. There were games left on the table, plays that could’ve been made, but regardless, the Bills are in, and there is not a team in the AFC that doesn’t fear them. Here’s who Buffalo could play with their win over the Jaguars.
No. 1 Denver Broncos
If the Patriots win against the Chargers, the Bills would be set to face the Broncos in Denver. Despite Buffalo offering more of a challenge than a team like the Steelers, the Bills would be the lowest seed remaining.
No. 4 Pittsburgh Steelers
If the Steelers can defeat the Houston Texans on Monday night, the only way the Bills would face them would be if the Chargers upset the Patriots.
No. 5 Houston Texans
The Texans’ chances of playing the Bills are the same as the Steelers. The only way Buffalo matches up with Houston is if the Chargers take down New England.
