Who will Bills play next? How Bill's win would impact the playoff round

Sean McDermott and the Buffalo Bills are hoping to finally start a strong playoff run again after three consecutive exits in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. That starts with trying to get a win over the Denver Broncos.

Beating the Broncos won’t be easy. They may be the No. 7 seed in the AFC, but they have one of the NFL’s best defenses and an offense that has slowly but surely made progress under rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

However, the Bills have reached the divisional round four straight times in the postseason, while the Broncos have not played in a playoff game since Super Bowl 50. That should give Buffalo a clear lead and potentially allow the Bills to advance to the divisional round, where a tough opponent awaits around the corner.

Who could the Bills play next in the playoffs? Here’s what you need to know about the AFC’s playoff run and Buffalo’s path to Super Bowl 59.

Who will Bills play next?

The Bills will play the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional round if they beat the Broncos in the wild-card round.

The Ravens were Buffalo’s only potential postseason opponent after defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in a wild-card matchup on Saturday. Baltimore ran roughshod over Pittsburgh, rushing for 299 yards during the contest, with Derrick Henry contributing 186 and Lamar Jackson 81.

The Bills vs. Ravens duel would be a rematch of their meeting in Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season. The Ravens clearly won this contest 35-10 behind a 199-yard performance from Henry. Baltimore took a 21-3 halftime lead in that game, which was eerily similar to the dominance of the Steelers on Saturday night, who trailed 21-0 at halftime.

The good news for Bills fans? The game against the Ravens took place in Baltimore. When they play again, the Bills will host Jackson and Co. at Highmark Stadium.
