The Buffalo Bills beat the New York Jets in a decisive, 35-8 victory on Sunday. The Week 18 matchup was likely the final game played at Highmark Stadium. The players reflected on their win, the emotional last moments on the field and the next stop in the 2025-26 season: the playoffs.
Here's what the Bills said after the game:
Soaking it all in
Buffalo went out on a high note at Highmark Stadium, winning its final regular season battle. It wasn't just the team that experienced it, it was also all of Bills Mafia surrounding the players on Sunday.
"It was a lot to take in. It was sad, but it was also an amazing moment just seeing everybody so happy and everybody sharing the love for the game," fullback Reggie Gilliam said. "That could be the last time we play out there, so it was a little sentimental."
"Good experience. Great environment, [the fans are] always going to make it special," running back James Cook III said.
After the game, almost all fans stayed around to celebrate the final moments in the stadium with a farewell video.
"It's only in Buffalo," cornerback Tre'Davious White said of the fans sticking around for a few moments longer. "Only in Buffalo you get that. So, that's why this is so special."
For head coach Sean McDermott, he had nothing but gratitude for Bills Mafia. He said he wasn't surprised to look up and see all the fans still standing there, but that didn't dim how special the moment was. It wasn't just after the game either, McDermott thanked everyone who came out and helped clear the stadium of snow before game time.
"Means a lot to me and our team," McDermott said. "Had a chance to get over here last night, met some of the workers, pretty special people hearing their stories … One of the guys I met worked at Harvard and yet showed up as a Bills fan to help shovel the stadium out.
"That type of togetherness, that type of fellowship, community, love of their team and each other. I'll never forget it."

During and after the game, McDermott and the players took moments to take in the environment.
"Just think about all the stuff that we had over the years, I was able to do over the years on this field too. Definitely something that I had to think about," White said "Let's continue to make more memories."
"It was just such a special place to be able to, not only play this game, but to be able to be contributing to it," wide receiver Gabe Davis said.
For other players, they may not have a pile of memories at Highmark Stadium, but that didn't affect how they felt about the final regular season game.
"It was special to see what it meant to some of the guys. There's guys who've been there for a decade, and there's guys who've been here for a year who put their blood, sweat and tears on that field," running back Ray Davis said. "Just see the guys embrace it and go out with a win and let the city of Buffalo feel special and know that this was a special one for them, it's pretty cool. I've been here for two years … I was able to play a little bit of a small part on that field to bring some happiness."
Bills shift their focus to playoffs
In the midst of high emotions and a sentimental moment, Buffalo is ready to continue its season. As a Wild Card team, the Bills play in the first week of playoffs on one of three days, Jan. 10-12. Their first postseason matchup is against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"Happy to go play," Davis said. "See those guys, get some warm weather."
During Week 18's game, many starters sat out, meaning backups got important reps in before the playoffs start. That included quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, running backs Ray Davis and Ty Johnson in the offensive backfield, tight end Keleki Latu and linebacker Joe Andreeson.
"Anytime you can get those reps is huge," Andreeson said. "You want to go out there and try and impress and ball out. I think the defense, we had a good day. I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff to improve on, but it's fun flying out."
The Bills don't have a lot of time to rest, but they're ready to go nonetheless and look forward to their postseason run.
"Let's play," Cook said.
