AFC Playoff Picture: Buffalo Bills move up to third while waiting to play in Week 13

Cleveland rocks!

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

With several AFC games left to play in Week 13, the Buffalo Bills have already received a little help on Sunday and moved up to the third spot in the AFC.

With the Cleveland Browns’ win over the Tennessee Titans, Buffalo moves from the four seed to the three seed. If they win, they stay there. If they lose, they move down to the four seed based on tiebreakers.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos play Sunday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers play on Monday evening before Buffalo, and then the Baltimore Ravens will play on Tuesday. The latter two games are in response to the delay of the Ravens’ and Steelers Week 12 game due to COVID-19 concerns in Baltimore.

Here are the AFC standings as of right now.
