A lot of good stories in this game, from Buffalos first playoff appearance since 1999 (and how their have traveled to celebrate such) to ones like this:

Still 0-0 in the 2nd quarter
Shad Khan, Jacksonville Jaguars support refugees, Puerto Ricans - Jacksonville Jaguars Blog- ESPN
Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan and the Jaguars Foundation have donated 1,000 tickets to Sundays home playoff game to refugees from around the world and displaced Puerto Ricans and their families.
Refugees who have settled in northeast Florida will receive 500 tickets, while Puerto Ricans and their families in northeast and central Florida who were displaced by Hurricane Maria also will receive 500 tickets. The Jaguars (10-6) play the Buffalo Bills (9-7) at 1:05 p.m. ET Sunday at EverBank Field. Its the Jaguars first home playoff game since Jan. 23, 2000.
The Jaguars Foundation will provide transportation to and from the game as well as a souvenir. Each guest also will receive a food and beverage voucher.
The Jaguars first home playoff appearance in a very long time is an event that should be shared with as many people as possible, across all spectrums, who call Jacksonville their home, Khan said in a statement. Whether its a home game in August or January, its important for the Jaguars to consistently be good citizens and do the right thing for our community. Hopefully the experience on Sunday will give our guests a well-deserved break from what can be severe challenges in their daily lives. And if we can give them a victory on the field, it will make for a perfect day.
The Jaguars worked with Lutheran Social Services of Northeast Florida and the First Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Latino Leadership Inc. of Orlando to identify the ticket recipients.
