The Bills are moving on. We break down what’s next for them in the AFC Championship of the 2025 NFL Playoffs.
The No. 2 Buffalo Bills beat the No. 3 Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon to secure a spot in the 2025 AFC Championship Game. They’ll face the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. The game will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
The game got off to a dream start for the Ravens, who received the opening kickoff and went right down the field for a touchdown to take an early 7-0 lead. But the rest of the first half was all Buffalo, as the Bills capitalized on a series of miscues from the Ravens to build a 21-10 lead at the break.
But Baltimore clawed into that advantage in the second half, and a Derrick Henry touchdown run from five yards out cut Buffalo’s lead to 21-19. Baltimore looked to cut deeper into that lead a few drives later, but a costly fumble from Mark Andrews proved costly, as the Bills converted a field goal on their ensuing possession to take a 27-19 lead.
Still, the Ravens did not go away. Lamar Jackson connected with Isalah Likely on a touchdown strike to pull the Ravens within two, but Andrews dropped a throw from Jackson two-point conversion try to keep the score at 27-25. Buffalo recovered the onside kick, and iced the game on their next drive.
Now, it is onto Kansas City.
The Bills and Chiefs met in Buffalo in Week 11 with the Bills winning 30-21. In the postseason history between these two squads, Buffalo is 2-4. This marks the fourth time in five seasons these two squads have faced off and the Chiefs have won all three. The past two matchups were in the Divisional Round, while in 2021, Kansas City won the AFC Championship in overtime against Buffalo.
