Bills clinch second playoff berth this century with tough win over Steelers

The Buffalo Bills have played in one playoff game since the end of the 1999 season. They lost an ugly 10-3 wild-card game at the Jacksonville Jaguars two seasons ago.

Buffalo will appreciate any playoff berth after that long drought, but the trip two years ago was a bit fluky. They needed a miraculous fourth-down touchdown pass from Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton to Tyler Boyd to knock out the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17. The Bills were 9-7 and had a weird mix of veterans. While it seemed there could be better days ahead, that playoff berth seemed like a one-off.
