The Buffalo Bills are on the verge of the postseason.
It'll only take one little nudge to secure a clinch for the Bills, who are 11-4 after their win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns.
It was a bit of a dicey victory, to be sure. Josh Allen got injured at one point. Shedeur Sanders kept Cleveland around.
The final margin was just 23-20, but the win is the part that really counts.
And thanks to that win, a playoff clinch is just one moment away. That moment can come Monday night.

How the Bills can clinch a playoff spot during Colts-49ers
The Bills clinch a playoff spot if the Colts lose to the 49ers.
That result would ensure Buffalo no worse than an AFC wild card spot.
The Bills still have a path to catching the Patriots in the AFC East, although New England stayed a game in front with its win on Sunday night. But the most important part is to get into the postseason at all, and Buffalo is nearly there.
Even if Indy wins on Monday, there's still a lot of time for the Bills to get into the playoffs with two weeks to spare and a ton working in their favor.
But why not punch the ticket early? The 49ers can do that for the Bills.
