The Buffalo Bills were able to hold off a very game Jacksonville Jaguars team on Sunday in the Wild Card round and secure passage to the AFC Divisional playoff game. It\u2019s not going to get any easier for them, as quarterback Josh Allen was dinged up during the game and multiple players left with injury designations.<\/p>\n
Still, it\u2019s Josh Allen and head coach Sean McDermott\u2019s first road playoff win and they move on.<\/p>\n

The AFC leader Denver Broncos were on a bye this weekend, and Buffalo vs Jacksonville was the first AFC game of the weekend. The rest of the conference will be decided on Sunday and Monday nights.<\/p>\n
The New England Patriots stifled the Los Angeles Chargers to advance. The final four in the AFC is the Broncos, Bills, Chargers and the winner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Chargers lost on Sunday night to the New England Patriots, so the Bills are the lowest remaining seed. Not only does it mean that Highmark Stadium is officially done hosting Bills games, it means the Bills will head to Denver to play the Broncos in the Divisional Round.<\/p>\n
The Bills and Broncos will play on Saturday, but we don\u2019t know yet if they play in the late afternoon slot of the night game. That will be announced on Monday night at some point near the end of the Pittsburgh Steelers vs Houston Texans game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Buffalo Bills were able to hold off a very game Jacksonville Jaguars team on Sunday in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[56952,116,118,117],"class_list":["post-115008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-buffalo-bills-playoffs","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
