Chiefs 14-1 (refs won’t let them lose 1-seed)
Bills 12-3 (own tie breaker vs Chiefs)
Next teams closest to the Bills for AFC 2-seed are 10-5

Bills get to watch Chiefs on Christmas Day then decide.

Allen’s shoulder is banged up so yes is the answer. But you can’t have him take two weeks off. So question is which week do you rest him: this week or next?

I wonder if NFL officiating will be completely against the Chiefs for once. Chiefs beating the Steelers on Christmas will pretty much destroy any AFC playoff drama outside of the Ravens and Steelers vying for the division. But if Pittsburgh wins, it opens up a world of possibilities in the final weekend of the season.

If both teams win next week why wouldn’t they?

Pretty much they will rest him at some point in the next game and definetely the last game at New England

They need to win this week to lock up the 2 seed

I think even if the Chiefs win they still play their starters next week versus Denver. If the chiefs decide to rest the starters there will be a 23 day layoff until they play again.

They desperately need it after this BS 3 games in 11 days nonsense.

At best, they’d play the starters one quarter for practice and pack it in.

I’ll go ahead and say it now, if Josh Sllen rests for 2 weeks, the Bills will be bounced in rd 1 of the playoffs

He needs reps. He’s a really sloppy QB. 2 weeks off would be disastrous for Allen. The Bills would need to run the ball 65 times to win.

Well if they up 35-0 then he wont play the 2nd half and that will be a rest hence at some point in the next game he will probably get pulled. I dont see the Jets putting much of a fight up this week

This can't be good for their total offense production.

The Jets are capable of beating any team in the NFL. The Bills have a banged up secondary and Adams/Wilson can definitely give them issues
