The Buffalo Bills are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot.
It can happen for the Bills in Week 16 when they play at the Cleveland Browns.
The Bills enter the week at 10-4, holding onto one of the AFC's three wild card spots. They're a game behind the New England Patriots, so Buffalo winning the AFC East would require some help.
But as far as just getting into the playoffs at all, the Bills are in very good shape.

How can the Bills clinch a playoff spot?
The Bills have four paths to clinch a playoff spot in Week 16.
They were announced officially by the NFL earlier this week:
- Bills win AND Colts loss or tie
- Bills win AND Texans loss or tie
- Bills tie AND Colts loss
- Bills tie AND Texans loss
If any one of those four lines comes through, the Bills are in the playoffs.
Buffalo can obviously still get in in the weeks ahead, too, but it never hurts to punch that ticket early.
The Colts play the 49ers on Monday night. The Texans play the Raiders in the late afternoon window on Sunday.
