Do Buffalo Bills play today? Schedule for Bills' playoff game

The Buffalo Bills are in an unfamiliar position this weekend, playing on the road in the first round of the NFL playoffs.

Entering the season, they were five-time defending champions in the AFC East, which had them at home for at least their first postseason game. That's not the case this time, with the New England Patriots surprising everyone with a 14-3 finish, putting them ahead of the 12-5 Bills.

As the sixth seed in the conference, Buffalo will take on the third seed, the Jacksonville Jaguars. The two teams have had a tight rivalry, with the Bills holding a 10-8 edge in head-to-head games; however, the Jaguars are 2-0 against the Bills in the postseason.

Trevor Lawrence holds the slight edge over Josh Allen, winning two of the three games when these teams have squared off. This has the makings of a great game, but when do these two square off?

While the NFL playoffs begin on Saturday with two games, the Bills and Jaguars won't be in action. Instead, they'll play one another during the second day of postseason games.
