Buffalo Rumblings
The Buffalo Bills are on their bye week right now but entered Sunday tied for the lead in the AFC East. With some help from the Tennessee Titans, Buffalo could be back on top of the division without even playing. It wasn’t meant to be. The Patriots took care of business and now New England has a half-game lead plus a tiebreaker over the Bills.
On Thursday night we saw a big upset in the playoff race with the Cincinnati Bengals topping the Pittsburgh Steelers behind Joe Flacco. The Steelers are now 4-2 but still lead the AFC North.
The other two division leaders are playing each other as we speak with the Indianapolis Colts at the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Bills will remain in playoff position through the bye. We’ll see where in the pecking order they land.
