NFL Playoffs set after Wild Final Sunday

The NFL playoffs are now set after a wild NFL Sunday that was highlighted by the Buffalo Bills return to the postseason. The Bills have not been playoff bound since 1999 when Doug Flutie and Rob Johnson were battling for the starting job in Buffalo.

Heck, Bill Clinton was still president, and Bill Belichick was with the Jets when the Bills last made into serious January football.

The Bills got into the postseason thanks to a 22-16 win over the Miami Dolphins and a stunning 31-27 victory by the Cincinnati Bengals over the Baltimore Ravens. The Tennessee Titans also made the playoffs with a 15-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Bills, Titans and Jaguars are all in the AFC playoff picture for the first time since that aforementioned 1999 season.

Of course we all know what happened the last time the Bills were in the playoffs ...
