The Buffalo Bills are still in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff picture. Buffalo shook off injuries, miscues and a subpar performance from Josh Allen to eke past the New England Patriots 24-21 and stay in the race for a first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the conference postseason.

If the Chiefs and Bills end up with the same record, Buffalo owns the head-to-head tiebreaker on Kansas City. The Bills and No. 1 seed and the bye week that comes with that in Round 1 of the postseason could still be alive.
