NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport confirmed last Sunday that Allen had sustained the injury during a touchdown in the fourth quarter of Week 1, a game in which the Bills triumphed 34-28 over the Arizona Cardinals.

Buffalo's chances at being the top seed in the conference may have ended, but they still have plenty to play for.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has certainly had an exceptional 2024 season so far, with 3,549 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, six interceptions, 514 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. While he is in the MVP conversation and currently leads the odds,

The Bills can clinch the No. 2 seed with a win against the Jets. That would give Buffalo flexibility on how to approach Week 18. The Bills could opt rest some of their starters and banged-up players for all or part of the regular season finale.

The Kansas City Chiefs clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a 29-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas. Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 38 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns for the Chiefs. Kansas City’s 19-point margin of victory was their best of the season.
