Final · Sunday, January 11, 2026 · 1:00 p.m. ET · EverBank Stadium

Head coaches: Sean McDermott (Bills) · Liam Coen (Jaguars)

How it went

Josh Allen was the running game and the passing game and, from a yard out with 1:04 left, the winner: 27–24, Buffalo, after Jacksonville had led twice in the fourth quarter. Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdowns — Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Travis Etienne from 14 yards for 24–20 with 4:03 to go — and two interceptions, and the second number decided it. Allen went 28-for-35, threw one score to Dalton Kincaid and ran for two, and the Bills converted 7 of 14 third downs to keep the ball for nearly 34 minutes. Washington caught 107 yards for the Jaguars at EverBank Stadium; it ended one drive short.
