If the Bills win, all they would have to do to secure the top seed in the AFC bracket and a first-round bye would be to defeat the fading Patriots in Week 18 at Highmark Stadium.

They would need both the Chiefs (assuming KC beats lowly Denver in Week 17) and the Bengals to lose their last games in order to get the top spot.’
