Buffalo Rumblings
A lot went the Buffalo Bills’ way in Week 14. A big win over quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals helped their case for a long postseason run. With four weeks of a full NFL schedule of games left to play, there’s plenty that’s still undecided, including who this year’s AFC East champion will be. The Bills can keep that undecided by redeeming their early season loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon.
While it will take help from their not-so-friendly division neighbors, the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, a sixth straight crown for Buffalo isn’t impossible. Here’s a look at how things stand before we get into the heart of Week 15 action this weekend.
Buffalo’s big win moved their playoff chances off the edge of extinction as they slid up one spot in the AFC Playoff Picture. The Patriots had a bye, and while it didn’t do anything to help the Bills move closer to the AFC East’s top spot, it did drop New England down to the conference’s two seed.
The Chiefs continue to slide and while technically still in the hunt, their season is looking more and more like a wash every week. The Colts have gone from being the AFC’s early season darlings to outside the playoffs looking in. Indianapolis is in the hunt, but they’ve lost their hunter as quarterback Daniel Jones added a season-ending Achilles injury to his already fractured fibula and has gone from hobbled to done for the season. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are playing Trading Spaces as they stay on a carousel of wins and losses bouncing the AFC North’s lead back and forth with the loser being relegated to odd-man-out (of the playoffs).
There’s a lot of football to be played in the next month, and the NFL schedule makers know what they’re doing with plenty of drama to unfold in these next few weeks. So, here’s a look at how we’d like to see things go during Week 15. Get ready Bills Mafia, it’s going to be another wild weekend!
