The Buffalo Bills came into the 2024 season with five consecutive playoff trips that fell short of the Super Bowl. This year, the Bills locked up their sixth-straight playoff berth—and the AFC East—by December 1.
While the Bills didn't earn the AFC's No. 1 seed, they claimed the second seed and dominated the Denver Broncos in the wild-card round. A close win over the Baltimore Ravens set up a showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game.
However, Buffalo's fourth postseason meeting against Kansas City in the last five years ended the same way as the others, with another heartbreaking loss.
