The Josh Allen-led Bills went 4-1 down the stretch, ending the regular season with a 12-5 record. It was the third time in four seasons that head coach Sean McDermott's crew posted at least 12 wins. But with the emergence of Drake Maye and the 13-4 Patriots, the Bills saw their string of AFC East division titles snapped at five. The Bills head into the playoffs as the AFC's No. 6 seed.
There are two words, meanwhile, to describe how Trevor Lawrence and the No. 3-seed Jaguars arrive at the postseason: Red. Hot. In Week 18, they scored their eighth straight win, and clinched their first AFC South flag since 2022. Their 13 regular-season wins are the second-most in franchise history.
The Bills and Jags have some shared postseason history: They've met two times to date, with the Jags winning both; the contests predate the teams' respective Allen and Lawrence eras.
