Bills’ Comeback Keeps AFC East in Play as Broncos Take No. 1 and Chiefs Are Eliminated

Week 15 results moved Denver into the inside track for the AFC’s top seed.

Overview

  • Buffalo erased a 21-0 deficit to beat New England 35-31, snapping the Patriots’ 10-game win streak and preventing an AFC East clinch.
  • New England still leads Buffalo by one game with three to play, holding an edge on division-record tiebreakers after a split head-to-head.
  • Denver defeated Green Bay to gain sole possession of the AFC’s top spot and can clinch a playoff berth with its next win, with Jacksonville up next in Week 16.
  • Kansas City fell 16-13 to the Chargers and was knocked out of playoff contention for the first time since 2014 as Patrick Mahomes exited with a knee injury and is set for an MRI, according to Andy Reid.
  • The Rams have a win-and-in scenario against the Lions, while notable results by the Jaguars, Texans and Ravens further tightened AFC seeding and wild-card races.
