Bills enter final week with No. 2 seed at stake – or they could miss playoffs entirely

The Buffalo Bills did not clinch a playoff spot in Week 17.

Buffalo was able to hold on for a 27-21 victory over the New England Patriots, but the help that the Bills needed did not materialize. The Kansas City Chiefs helped Buffalo by knocking off the Cincinnati Bengals, but the Seattle Seahawks were not able to defeat a Mason Rudolph led Steelers team.
