Overview
- Buffalo fell to 7-4 and into the AFC’s No. 6 spot due to a Chargers tiebreaker, and it could drop to seventh if Jacksonville beats Arizona.
- The Texans improved to 6-5 and sit a half-game behind the Jaguars for the No. 7 seed after extending their winning streak to three.
- New England currently holds the key tiebreakers over Buffalo, keeping control of the AFC East and complicating the Bills’ path to the division.
- The Chargers are on a bye and retain their wild-card position regardless of other Week 12 results.
- Upcoming games could shuffle the field, with Jaguars–Cardinals and Chiefs–Colts on deck and Houston still to face the Chiefs, Chargers and the Colts twice.
