The Bills rolled into the postseason by winning their final four games to clinch their second consecutive division title. The game was essentially over at halftime, when Buffalo gained 300 yards of total offense, had 19 first downs and built a 27-3 lead. The 30-point margin of victory and 47 points scored were the second most by the Bills in a playoff game behind a 51-3 win over the Los Angeles Raiders in the AFC championship game on Jan. A trip to Kansas City would feature a rematch of last year’s AFC championship game, which the Chiefs won 38-24. The third-seeded Bills advanced to the divisional round to host either the Cincinnati Bengals, who beat the Raiders earlier in the day, or travel to Kansas City, depending on the outcome of the Chiefs game against Pittsburgh on Sunday. But at the end of the day, we moved on, we’re on to the next one and it doesn’t matter what we did today.

“And that’s what we’re doing right now, playing football.” And so we felt like the only way to shut people up is to go out there and play football and let you guys sit and watch and talk,” Hughes said. “There was a lot of disrespect coming toward our defense.
It was a game in which the Patriots attempted just three passes while trampling Buffalo’s defense with 222 yards rushing to counter wind gusts of 30-plus mph. In defeating the Patriots for the second time in three weeks, Hughes noted he was motivated by how reporters specifically questioned safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde as being embarrassed following a 14-10 loss on Dec.

Meanwhile, Hughes was part of a defense that ended Mac Jones’ rookie season by intercepting him twice, sacking him three times and limiting him to throwing two mean-nothing touchdown passes in the second half with the game well out of reach. Josh Allen set a team playoff record with five touchdown passes, including two to Dawson Knox, and Devin Singletary ran for two scores in the first half of a 47-17 throttling of the division-rival Patriots in a wild-card playoff game. On Saturday night, the Bills did something about it by erasing any doubt of who now rules the AFC East.
