The Buffalo Bills are in the NFL's playoffs, largely, thanks to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Now the Bengals can have a party of their own due to the Bills' thank you gift.

The Bills are shipping 1,440 chicken wings and accompanying side dishes to the Bengals' offices in appreciation of Cincinnati's result on Sunday.

The Bengals' 31-27 win over the Ravens, including a late touchdown and coupled with the Bills' 22-16 victory over the Miami Dolphins, sent Buffalo to the postseason at the expense of Baltimore.

The feast also will feature 90 pounds of celery, 30 pounds of carrots, six gallons of blue cheese and nine gallons of wing sauce from Duff's Famous Wings, the restaurant handling the order.
