AFC Playoff Picture: Despite win, Buffalo Bills slip to fourth

What a load of hogwash.

Matt Warren is Associate Director of NFL coverage for SB Nation and previously covered the Bills for Buffalo Rumblings for more than a decade.

The Buffalo Bills won on Sunday, but still fell in the AFC playoff standings. That stinks.

The Tennessee Titans’ win over the Indianapolis Colts moved them into first place in their division and they have a tiebreaker over the Bills the Colts did not have, thus moving them past the Bills.

Here is where the AFC Playoff Picture stands right now.

Overall Standings

1. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-0)*
2. Kansas City Chiefs (10-1)
3. Buffalo Bills (8-3, 6-2 AFC)
4. Tennessee Titans (8-3 6-3 AFC)
5. Cleveland Browns (8-3, 5-3 AFC)
6. Miami Dolphins (7-4, 4-3 AFC)
7. Indianapolis Colts (7-4, 3-4 AFC)
8. Baltimore Ravens (6-4)*
9. Las Vegas Raiders (6-5)
10. New England Patriots (5-6)
11. Denver Broncos (4-7, 4-4 AFC)
