Playoff football has finally arrived for the Buffalo Bills, and now the "real" stuff can begin.

The Bills will travel to EverBank Field to take on the 13-4 Jacksonville Jaguars in what is shaping up to be a monster clash between two AFC heavyweights.

Both are in form and have the weapons to send the other home from the postseason, but as always, it comes down to execution in those pressure moments.

But for head coach Sean McDermott, how can his team get a win and advance in the playoffs?

“Playing on the road anytime is tough in particular on the playoffs against a good football team,” McDermott said. “Usually, you're playing a good football team, and we are. We're playing a heck of a football team. We've got to be dialed in on the challenge that's in front of us and be ready for the challenge.

"You got to start by coming in and playing with great fundamentals, not beating yourselves, taking care of the ball, those things that are important to us as a football team and the discipline that goes with that.”

Now or never for Buffalo

Seen as Super Bowl or bust in 2025, the Bills have booked their spot in the tournament. Now it's time to go win it.

With no Patrick Mahomes to end their season, or Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen is the last "big hitter" left.

Yes, other teams might be more well-rounded than Buffalo, but this appears to be Allen's best chance at a Super Bowl, where he doesn't have to go through a top-tier quarterback in the AFC.

McDermott outlined the plan for his team, and they must follow it because in the playoffs, mistakes are magnified.

Can the Bills really end their Super Bowl drought? Well, it starts with a single step in Jacksonville.
