There are just four weeks left of the regular season.

The Buffalo Bills' hopes of reaching the playoffs were given a huge boost in Week 14 as they beat the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead.

It was a win that moved Buffalo to 7-6 on the season, the same record as sixth seed Pittsburgh Steelers and seventh seed Indianapolis Colts currently have.

With four games left in the regular season the Bills are now firmly in contention for making the postseason, though they have challenging games against the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins still to come.

And former Super Bowl winner turned NFL analyst Howie Long believes the Bills are a team nobody would want to come up against in the playoffs.

Speaking on the Up & Adams Show, Long said: "As bad as a position they put themselves in, last week's win was a big win.

"There's been a lot of internal stuff going on in the building there, but I don't think there is anyone who wants to play Buffalo in the playoffs.

"The big reason is Josh Allen. I know he debated on many talk shows and people say he isn't that great - but he is great.

"The two guys you saw on the field last week - Patrick Mahomes and Allen - are two guys who can on six or seven times each do something no one else can do.

"That's why they're so dangerous."

As well as the upcoming challenges against the Cowboys and Dolphins, the Bills also have more favourable match-ups against the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots before the end of the regular season.
