The Los Angeles Chargers win on "Monday Night Football" takes a little bit of a hit on the Buffalo Bills playoff chances.

After the Buffalo Bills beat the Bengals, the Chiefs lost to the Texans in a defeat that may just knock them out of the playoffs.

Despite the gap, the Bills' AFC East title hopes are alive. The path is narrow and hinges on Buffalo winning in Foxborough in two weeks. Buffalo must win at New England on Dec. 14 to keeps its division championship hopes alive — and would still need to keep winning while the Patriots lose at least once more.

Cincinnati, 4-8, endured a brutal stretch without Joe Burrow, losing eight of nine. Burrow returned Thanksgiving night and sparked a 32-14 rout of Baltimore. Despite defensive struggles, the Bengals remain two games behind in the AFC North and motivated to chase the division crown.

In a battle of elite quarterbacks, Josh Allen came out on top as the Buffalo Bills defeated Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals 39-34 on Sunday.

Here's a closer latest look at the Buffalo Bills' chances to either win the AFC East or earn a wild-card berth.

The Cincinnati Bengals visit the Buffalo Bills in Week 14, aiming to keep playoff hopes alive with Joe Burrow back in the fold for his second consecutive game. Burrow and the Bengals enter Sunday’s contest 14-3 in regular-season games in December and January since 2022.
