The Buffalo Bills have officially put a bow on their 2025 regular season, and sent Highmark Stadium out with a bang, defeating the New York Jets 35-8 to finish the season with a 12-5 record and the No. 6 seed in the AFC.
With Buffalo winning, as well as the Jacksonville Jaguars defeating the Tennessee Titans 41-7, the Bills will travel to Jacksonville next weekend to play the Jaguars in the wild card round. However, they may be doing it without one of their starting defenders.
Rookie Max Hairston was seen going to the locker room during the game after suffering a lower body injury. He was reportedly seen sporting a walking boot
"Maxwell Hairston was wearing a walking boot on his right foot after the game," Nick Sabato reports.
Hairston was drafted in the first round by the Bills in the 2025 NFL Draft. He missed the first half of the season with a knee injury, but made a big splash in his first game, intercepting Patrick Mahomes in the Bills' win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Facing an explosive Jacksonville Jaguars offense, the Bills will need to get solid contributions from their depth pieces to slow down Trevor Lawrence and Co. If Hairston is unavailable.
