These are the top storylines for the Buffalo Bills entering the first playoff game of the season

The Buffalo Bills are back in the playoffs for the third straight year, and second in a row as AFC East champions. By winning the division, the Bills ensured their first playoff game would be at home at Highmark Stadium.

However, the way the seeding broke Buffalo will be facing a team they know very well in the New England Patriots. This is in fact their third meeting since the beginning of December when they met on Monday night in a game where the weather was a factor and the Patriots won 14-10.

The Bills would play the Patriots again, this time on the road, and Josh Allen had one of his best games of the season. Buffalo would win that game by a final of 33-21.

Entering this third matchup, where the winner advances and the losing team sees their season come to an end, these are the top storylines for Wild Card weekend.
