The 2026 NFL playoffs continue on Sunday, and will feature the first AFC matchup of Wild Card Weekend between the No. 6 Buffalo Bills and the No. 3 Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Patriots lead the all-time regular season series between these teams, 24-16-2, but the away team has won the past four meetings. They last faced off back in late-December 2024, when the Chargers annihilated the Patriots in New England, 40-7. They’ve also met four times in the postseason, and the Patriots lead 3-1 and have beaten the Chargers three times in a row.
The winner of this game will face the winner of the Steelers-Patriots game next weekend in the AFC divisional round.
