Frigid temps in Chicago weren’t enough to move the Buffalo Bills off the mark that had them set on the goal of obtaining the AFC East division championship for the third straight year. Now faced with the much milder temps in Ohio, the Cincinnati Bengals stand in the way of the Bills hitting their next goal, winning the No. 1 seed in the AFC headed into the playoffs.
Buffalo can win the top seed outright this weekend with a win over the Bengals and a loss by the Kansas City Chiefs. No matter what the rest of the AFC does, the Bills must beat the Bengals on Monday Night Football in what will assuredly be the game of the regular season.
