Buffalo Bills News

The Buffalo Bills are in the playoffs, and several other teams that were expected to be AFC kings have ultimately fallen flat. That's where the ridiculous narrative begins.

The Buffalo Bills will be looking to win their first road playoff game since 1992. And their uniform choice may be what helps get them there. Entering their Wild Card matchup as a road favorite, the Bills visit the Jacksonville Jaguars as the No.

<a href="/nfl/players/josh_allen/21824">Josh Allen</a> has been as consistent a producer on the football field as he has been in the fantasy football world. When he's helping the Buffalo Bills win games, he's also helping people win fantasy football championships, including me.

The Buffalo Bills are in the AFC playoffs for the seventh straight season, looking for the first Super Bowl in franchise history. And in a season with no <a href="/nfl/players/patrick_mahomes/513721">Patrick Mahomes</a>, no Lamar Jackson, and no <a href="/nfl/players/joe_burrow/609173">Joe Burrow</a> in the postseason, <a href="/nfl/players/josh_allen/21824">Josh Allen</a> and company have as good a shot as ever at making the Big Game.

Rule changes have made passing numbers easier to compile in the modern era, and the game's top quarterbacks have taken full advantage. While the heaviest hitters are represented here, some storied postseasons by slightly lesser-celebrated QBs remain entrenched in playoff annals as well.

The Buffalo Bills have a unicorn at quarterback in Josh Allen. Since his arrival in the league, he's ascended to one of the very best at his position and has become a saving grace in Buffalo.

The Buffalo Bills are starting the playoffs on the road for the first time since 2019. They head into this wildcard matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars with reigning MVP Josh Allen, rushing champion <a href="/nfl/players/james_cook/629387">James Cook</a>, and the league’s top pass defense.

The Buffalo Bills listed six non-participants on the week's first injury report ahead of Sunday's road playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and, fortunately, starting quarterback Josh Allen was not one of them.

<a href="/nfl/players/ray_davis/912810">Ray Davis</a> enjoyed a transcendent season as the Buffalo Bills’ kick returner during the 2025 campaign.  And one established NFL outlet rewarded him with a spot on its All-Pro team.

Earlier this week, when discussing the Buffalo Bills’ Wild-Card matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, <a href="/nfl/players/sean_mcdermott/679961">Sean McDermott</a> made some interesting comments regarding a Jaguars’ wide receiver.

An inexplicable injury. <a href="/nfl/players/maxwell_hairston/724895">Maxwell Hairston</a> went down with an ankle injury late in the second half of the Buffalo Bills' win over the New York Jets this past Sunday, leaving his status for the Bills’ Wild-Card matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars in doubt.

For years, Thanksgiving belonged to the NFL, but Christmas belonged to the NBA. Occasionally, an NFL game would fall on Christmas, but it was anomalous, even avoided if possible.

The Buffalo Bills will go as far as where superstar Josh Allen takes them, so his health is always going to be of major concern to the team. On that front,

Josh Allen's foot injury will have had a long time to heal on Sunday when the Buffalo Bills play the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Bills will need him to be at 100% as they seek their first road playoff win in 34 years.

The Buffalo Bills have invested in an insurance policy for their 41-year-old kicker, but they may not need to ever file a claim. Plagued by a quad injury over the last few weeks, veteran <a href="/nfl/players/matt_prater/3158">Matt Prater</a> left the January 4 regular season finale at halftime.

<a href="/nfl/players/damar_hamlin/617204">Damar Hamlin</a> has missed much of this season, landing on IR in early October. The Bills, though, could have the veteran safety back for their wild-card matchup against the Jaguars.

The Buffalo Bills have a list of injury concerns of their own, but their Wild-Card opponent is also dealing with a potential significant absence come Sunday afternoon.

<a href="/nfl/players/jordan_poyer/258281">Jordan Poyer</a> has been a key addition for the Buffalo Bills’ secondary since arriving for his second stint with the team. Not only has he helped second-year pro <a href="/nfl/players/cole_bishop/723878">Cole Bishop</a> come into his own in the back end of the Buffalo defense, but Poyer’s production has also aided what has been a resurgent effort from the Buffalo Bills’ coverage crew this year.

Head coach <a href="/nfl/players/sean_mcdermott/679961">Sean McDermott</a> spoke before practice, giving a key update on quarterback Josh Allen, among others, before practice was underway. Allen was listed as a full participant, but it's what McDermott didn't say that gives cause for concern.

The Buffalo Bills placed veteran defensive tackle Jordan Phillips on injured reserve Wednesday. Phillips, 33, missed two games with an ankle injury before returning Sunday and playing 18 snaps in the 35-8 win against the New York Jets.

The Bills announced that they have designated S <a href="/nfl/players/damar_hamlin/617204">Damar Hamlin</a> to return from injured reserve by opening his practice window. Hamlin, 27, was selected by the Bills out of Pittsburgh with the No.

With kicker <a href="/nfl/players/matt_prater/3158">Matt Prater</a> battling a quadriceps injury, his status is uncertain for the Bills’ wild-card round meeting with the Jaguars on Sunday. In the event Prater is unable to play, the Bills added insurance on Tuesday in signing <a href="/nfl/players/matthew_wright/346670">Matthew Wright</a> to their practice squad.

In this series, Athlon Sports’ Doug Farrar takes a look at the one thing every playoff team in the wild-card round absolutely must do (or absolutely must not do) if they want to advance to the divisional frame and beyond.

The Bills are gearing up for this weekend’s wild-card round, but it’s unclear who will kick for them in Jacksonville on Sunday. <a href="/nfl/players/matt_prater/3158">Matt Prater</a> aggravated a quadriceps injury in the Bills’ Week 18 win over the Jets.
