Jaguars vs Bills live updates: Follow the action here

The Buffalo Bills are hoping to go on a long playoff run as they face an AFC field that is without the Kansas City Chiefs for the first time since 2014.

It won’t be an easy task, especially as the Bills start the playoffs on the road against one of the NFL’s hottest teams.

The Jacksonville Jaguars enter the 2025 NFL playoffs winners of eight consecutive games. The AFC South champions posted a 13-4 record in Liam Coen’s first season as head coach and Trevor Lawrence has enjoyed his best season to date under the young, offensive-minded coach’s tutelage.

Jacksonville figures to be a tough matchup for Buffalo. The Jaguars have the NFL’s top-ranked run defense and may be able to render NFL rushing leader James Cook less effective than usual. That could put a lot of pressure on Josh Allen to carry his team to victory in what may be a high-scoring game.
