@BuffaloBills

How the @BuffaloBills got into the #NFLPlayoffs 🔽

Coming off their first AFC East title in 25 years, the Bills entered the season as one of the AFC favorites.

After dropping the opener to Pittsburgh, the Bills defense put the league on watch with two shutouts in their next three games.

@JoshAllenQB

Riding a three-game winning streak, the Bills avenged their loss to the Chiefs in last season’s AFC Championship.

@JoshAllenQB accounted for four TDs and @micah_hyde sealed the win with a pick-6, improving the Bills record to 4-1.

@JoshAllenQB

The Bills dropped two of their next three, but got back on track at the Meadowlands in Week 10.

@JoshAllenQB and @stefondiggs reminded the league how dangerous of a combo they are, connecting for two TDs as they beat the Jets, 45-17.

No one feasted quite like the Bills on Thanksgiving. Buffalo beat New Orleans 31-6 to improve to 7-4.

The fellas enjoyed some well-deserved turkey legs after the game too. 😂

The Bills rode out a four-game winning streak to end the regular season.

A huge W over the Patriots in Foxborough in Week 16 put them in position to win the AFC East.

The Bills clinched the AFC East with a win over the Jets in Week 18. It’s their first back-to-back division championships since 1990-91.

Buffalo's defense led the league in numerous categories, giving up the least amount of points and yards per game.

#BillsMafia will be rocking on Saturday night.

A rubber match with the Patriots awaits. 🍿

@Eagles

How the @Eagles made the #NFLPlayoffs ⬇️

With a new head coach and QB1, Philadelphia had to prove they belonged in the conversation. #FlyEaglesFly (1/7)

Nick Sirianni secured his first win as a head coach with a Week 1 victory in Atlanta.

(2/7)

However, after 2-5 start, the Eagles were still in search of an identity.

How @_BigBen7, @_TJWatt and @CoachTomlin defied the odds and clinched the @steelers a spot in the #NFLPlayoffs. ⬇️

@steelers

The @steelers defense got off to a hot start with a huge Week 1 win vs. Buffalo.

@_TJWatt's brand new contract was already paying off. 😤

@steelers

Despite some ups and downs (and a tie 🤷‍♂️), the @steelers continued to fight in every game.

An OT win vs. Seattle in Week 6 set the tone for a team that would not quit.

@dallascowboys

How the @dallascowboys got into the #NFLPlayoffs 🔽

After an injury-riddled season, the Cowboys got @dak back and put together an all-pro defensive duo no one saw coming, leading them back to the postseason. 💪

Dallas bounced back from a #Kickoff2021 loss in Week 2 at SoFi Stadium in a gritty game vs. the Chargers. Greg (the leg) Zuerlein hit a 56-yarder as time expired to get the ‘Boys in the win column.

@TrevonDiggs

Dallas rallied six straight wins from Weeks 2-8. @TrevonDiggs had at least one INT in all of the Cowboys first seven games.

In that stretch, Dallas played in one of the games of the year - when Dak and @_CeeDeeThree walked it off in OT at New England.

@Chiefs

The back-to-back AFC champion @Chiefs entered the 2021 season with sky high expectations. Here’s how they got back to the #NFLPlayoffs for the 7th straight season.

The hype only got bigger after a Week 1 comeback win.

@Chiefs

It looked like the @Chiefs might be human after all when they found themselves at 3-4 after seven games. Still, @PatrickMahomes was still often looking like his old self.

@49ers

Injuries and a 3-5 start had the @49ers seeing deja vu at the start of the 2021 season.

But with a relentless pass rush and the emergence of explosive players on offense, they finished 7-2 and are back in the #NFLPlayoffs.

Here’s how they got there. #FTTB (THREAD 1/9)

Their run started when the offense got back to what it does best: long, sustained drives.

An 18-play, 11-minute drive set the tone in a 31–10 victory over the Rams. (2/9)

@49ers

Deebo Samuel’s threat as a pass catcher AND a runner put defenses on notice. He led the @49ers in rushing in Week 11.

Remember, this man’s a WR. More on @19problemz later. (3/9)
