ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills defeated the New York Jets 35-8 in the final regular season game at Highmark Stadium on Sunday.

The game was likely the last ever game to be played at the current Highmark Stadium, as the Bills are the six seed heading into the NFL Playoffs and will travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars in the Wild Card Round.
