The Buffalo Bills are not guaranteed a playoff place just yet.

The Buffalo Bills have endured a tumultuous season: sacked coaches, injuries, off-field controversies, and some disastrous losses have blighted their season. 

However, the Bills are still standing, and they are within touching distance of a playoff run which a few months ago looked unlikely.

If Buffalo can beat the Miami Dolphins in Week 18 they will take the AFC East title away from the Dolphins, but if they lose they could miss out on the playoffs altogether.

That required a very specific set of results - two of which happened on Saturday. The Pittsburgh Steelers upset the odds by beating the Balitmore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans game did not end in a tie.

If the Bills lose against the Dolphins, then a win for the Jacksonville Jaguars over the Tennessee Titans would see Buffalo miss out on the postseason.

The Dolphins vs. Bills game is the final game of the regular season so by the time that game kicks off, Buffalo may have already booked their ticket to the postseason.

Who do the Bills still have to play?
