The Bills recently reached a major milestone by qualifying for the playoffs of the 2025 National Football League, prompting a reaction from the American star.

As noted, Pegula has consistently backed her parents’ NFL franchise, often sharing her support on social media. A few days ago, the American tennis star celebrated the Bills’ dramatic comeback win over the New England Patriots, courtesy of a standout display from quarterback Josh Allen. After a slow start that saw them trail 21–0 at halftime, Buffalo produced a blistering second-half surge to keep their division title hopes alive.
Buffalo has now officially secured a spot in the 2025 playoffs, extending its postseason streak to seven consecutive seasons. The Bills clinched qualification with a narrow 23–20 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, helped by the Indianapolis Colts’ defeat to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.
The milestone only added to the excitement for nine-time tour titlist Pegula, who re-shared the team’s official Instagram post celebrating the achievement on her story. Take a look below.
At present, Buffalo sits at 11–4 as a Wild Card team but remains firmly in contention to climb the playoff standings. With two weeks left in the regular season, the Bills can still secure the AFC East, an outcome that would mark their sixth consecutive division title.
