‘Buffalo wanted to say thanks following the Bengals’ win and reached out to the team on Twitter. In addition to a note thanking Cincinnati, Buffalo informed the team that they’d be sending wings to show their gratitude.’

‘“You know what? I’m a firm believer in faith and I know God brought me here for a reason. He brought this group of men together for a reason, so that’s what I fall back on in times like this.”’

‘Fans were ecstatic following the win and Bills guard Richie Incognito wants to celebrate with the fan base. After boarding the team flight, Incognito tweeted out details on when they’d be arriving back in Buffalo in case they wanted to greet the team.’

‘Behind McCoy, the Bills have just Marcus Murphy and Mike Tolbert at running back. The two combined for 80 yards on the ground against the Dolphins Sunday, but the dropoff from McCoy is a steep one. The Jaguars have struggled in run defense for most of the season, too, so this injury is one to watch throughout the week. Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor knows how big a loss McCoy would be.’

‘According to pregame.com, the Bills have opened up as a 7.5-point underdog against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Bills have been playing that role all season long, so this shouldn’t be a problem for them. But as rookie cornerback Tre’Davious White said after the game, there aren’t any underdogs in the playoffs.’

‘You’ve probably heard the saying, “Celebrities are just like us!” It turns out that this is certainly true for celebrity Buffalo Bills fans. Following the end of the Bills’ 17-year playoff drought, many famous Bills fans reacted on social media. Here are some of the best reactions.’

‘But the lasting image will be Kyle Williams, the former fifth-round pick who stuck around for another season. The man who scored his first touchdown since high school when the Bills decided to give him a goal-line carry in the win over the Dolphins. There he was, standing in disbelief in the locker room with two of his sons. He stood and answered questions and tried to put it all into workds, but none of what he said could match what he told his team after the game.’

‘How do you describe a team ending a 17-year playoff drought in a season many expected to end with four or five wins? What about a quarterback who was written off by this team a year ago, brought back by a new coach and then benched mid-season only to regain his starting job? In a sense, Taylor is the perfect quarterback for this team of misfits and afterthoughts. He was drafted in the sixth round, stuck as a backup for four years in Baltimore and handed a pile of adverse situations in Buffalo.’
