The Buffalo Bills, for most, will enter the postseason as the one team with the most to gain, but also the most to lose.
Having failed in the playoffs for the past couple of seasons, thanks in part to Patrick Mahomes, the Bills now have a "clear" path, so to speak.
With Josh Allen at the helm, and none of the AFC top dogs in the tournament, this does feel like a now-or-never moment.
But for tackle Dion Dawkins, when asked if the team is under more pressure to win in this playoff go-around, he gave an interesting answer.
“No,” Dawkins said. “Nobody's talking about the Buffalo Bills. So, I feel all the stress is not on our shoulders. The mindset is to win no matter what, right? We play to be in the dance. We're dancing. Now, we just need to be prom king and queen at the end. So, I feel like, no. Everybody's record is zero-zero.”

Bills without a doubt under extra pressure
Given the previous playoff exits, the Bills have to eventually break through, right?
You can only go so long getting a chance at the batter's plate before you have to make it count.
With the Kansas City Chiefs out of the postseason, it does feel like it's now or never for the Bills.
Yes, they'll come up against quality defenses, but the bogeyman isn't in their way anymore.
If there ever was a time for the Bills to capitalize on having the best quarterback in the playoffs, that time is now.
NFL kings has a better ring to it than prom king, too, Dion.
