Day two of the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs started off with something we haven't seen in years: a playoff game held in Jacksonville, Florida.
The AFC South champion Jacksonville Jaguars hosted the Buffalo Bills and reigning league MVP Josh Allen.
In the end, it was Allen and co. that prevailed in Duval County, defeating the Jaguars, 27-24.
While the Bills are heading to the divisional round, they'll have to wait to find out who they're playing. Their contest was the first on the AFC side of the NFL playoff tournament.
They'll be awaiting the results of the Sunday night game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers as well as Monday night's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans.
Here's what to know about their potential playoff opponents:
The Bills will make the divisional round of the playoffs for the sixth season in a row. Who they will play depends on the result of Sunday night's matchup between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Chargers.
If New England wins, the Bills will play the Denver Broncos on the road in the divisional round because Buffalo would be the lowest-remaining seed in the AFC bracket. Because of that, they play the highest-remaining seed (Denver).
If Los Angeles wins, the Bills will play the winner of Monday night's Pittsburgh Steelers-Houston Texans game. That's because the Chargers are a lower seed and will face the No. 1-seeded Broncos on the road in the divisional round, leaving the Bills to take on the next-highest seed - either the No. 4 Steelers or No. 5 Texans.
