The Buffalo Bills enter the postseason with a renewed energy and sense of hope. Here’s who they’ll play and when, updated.

The Buffalo Bills had an unimaginable final two weeks of the season. After a player of theirs — Damar Hamlin — went into cardiac arrest during a game, their Week 17 game was canceled.

Hamlin’s recovery has gone well so far, and they were able to rally and win their final game of the season which secured their spot as the No. 2 seed in the AFC, behind only the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Bills and Buffalo community have experienced an unimaginable amount of pain and heartbreak over the last several months, and they undoubtedly have the narrative element on their side.

But they’ll need more than that. Thankfully, they’ve got it. Josh Allen is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and the Bills are fourth in points scored and second in points allowed.

They’re a great team. Problem is, the AFC is a strong conference. They’ll need to get past the Miami Dolphins (one of their four losses this season), and it’s unimaginable to see them getting to the Super Bowl without having to take down the Kansas City Chiefs or Cincinnati Bengals.

How to watch Buffalo Bills playoff games?

Playoff games this year will be broadcast on NBC, CBS, FOX, or ABC/ESPN. ABC and ESPN will have just one game on Monday, January 16th as a part of Super Wild Card Weekend.

Traditionally, CBS takes AFC playoff games.

How to stream Buffalo Bills playoff games?

Buffalo Bills playoff games should be available for streaming on Fubo.tv, which carries all the aforementioned channels.

What seed are the Buffalo Bills?

The Bills are the No. 2 seed in the AFC. While they could have secured the No. 1 seed with a win in Week 17 and Week 18, the Week 17 game being canceled meant the conference would be decided by win percentage. As such, the Chiefs needed to simply win against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18 to get the No. 1 seed and a Wild Card round bye, which they did.
