A week ago, before the Buffalo Bills’ 24-20 Week 6 road win over the Kansas City Chiefs, we spent some time talking about what a Bills win might mean for their chances of securing the No. 1 seed in the playoffs this season. The too long, didn’t read version of that discussion, in case you missed it, was this: a Bills win wouldn’t clinch anything definitively, but it would significantly improve their chances of making their Super Bowl bid in the comfortable confines of Highmark Stadium.
The Bills did win, and a week later, that win has in fact dramatically increased their chances of securing the AFC’s top playoff seed.
