Not to mention the fact that if you want to complain about game order--
If the Bills had beaten the Bengals and then the Chiefs lost to the Raiders, the Bills would have the 1 seed and wouldn't have to try against the Patriots, which would gift them a playoff spot. How ridiculous is that for the Dolphins and Steelers who are in competition for that last playoff spot?
The above a much bigger problem in the game order than what we're facing because - as mentioned endlessly - Cincy benefits massively from potentially having the 2 seed. They guarantee themselves a home game if they end up facing the Bills and have a very legitimate shot at hosting an AFCCG if the Chiefs slip up in the divisional round.
And now at least the Bills are forced to actually play for something this weekend regardless of how the Chiefs game ends up.
