The Philadelphia Eagles' narrow 13-12 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 17 has triggered a significant shift in the AFC playoff race, placing the Houston Texans in control of their postseason path.

Buffalo's failed two-point conversion attempt in the dying seconds not only sealed their defeat but also handed Houston a rare advantage: clarity in a crowded wildcard race.
