AFC Playoff Picture: Steelers’ loss helps Bills in conference position

The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to the Cleveland Brownso n Thursday.

The Buffalo Bills are on a bye this week, but they picked up a somewhat important victory on Thursday night when the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Cleveland Browns in a snowy game in Ohio.

Steelers at Browns, Week 12 ‘Thursday Night Football’ game prediction, open thread

The Pittsburgh Steelers traveled a few hours north up to the rust best for a game against the Cleveland Browns under the lights of Thursday Night Football on Prime. These AFC North rivals have plenty of history and there are playoff implications at stake in Week 12.

At least that’s the case for the Steelers, who lead the division at 8-2, while the Browns sit in the basement at 2-8. The oddsmakers at FanDuel Sportsbook have Pittsburgh at 3.5-point favorites (-3.5) entering tonight’s game, with an O/U set at a low 36.5 points.

The Steelers are a bit of a...

Bills vs. Chiefs, Week 11 film analysis: Buffalo’s offensive drive extenders

A look at the film to see how Buffalo’s offense took control of Kansas City’s defense in Week 11

The Buffalo Bills took down the NFL’s last unbeaten team in Week 11, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 30-21. Buffalo’s offense put up 30 points against a top-notch Chiefs defense largely because they could extend drives on third and fourth down. Let’s dive in to take a closer look at how they found success.

A review of the game tape to see how the Bills held the Chiefs under their usual scoring rate

Prior to their game against the Buffalo Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs scored on 46.1% of their drives and held the football for an average of around three minutes and 20 seconds. Against the Buffalo, Kansas City scored on 33% of their drives and held the ball for two minutes and 53 seconds on average. That’s a major feather in the cap of the Bills’ defense.

Buffalo Bills LB Terrel Bernard named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Bernard’s game-changing plays continue turning heads

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week 12 following an impressive performance in Week 11. Bernard played an inspiring brand of defense against the Kansas City Chiefs, which included a game-sealing interception of quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ on KC’s final drive of the game.

The team’s defensive captain, Bernard finished with a team-high eight tackles, one sack, and an interception against the Chiefs. He was the only player in the NFL to register both an interception and a sack in Week 11.

Bernard played a key role...

Josh Allen gives Buffalo Bills consistency rest of AFC East covets

The Bills hit a home run for the ages when they drafted Josh Allen

The New York Jets are a mess. After firing head coach Robert Saleh earlier this season, the team announced the firing of general manager Joe Douglas. Now, reports have come out that after Week 4, owner Woody Johnson wanted to bench quarterback Aaron Rodgers in an attempt to wake up the team.

Watching this specific brand of chaos has made me further appreciate the Buffalo Bills and their decision to select quarterback Josh Allen in the 2018 NFL Draft. Allen has provided stability at the league’s...

Bills near top of 2024 Week 12 NFL power rankings

The Bills are, rightly, near the top of every list

The Buffalo Bills are one of the best teams in the NFL. We don’t need power rankings to understand that fact. After a 30-21 victory over the previously unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo has rightly gained a place in the top two of many lists.

However, there are still a few outlets that have the Chiefs ranked above the Bills and, frankly, I understand it. Power rankings are often prone to knee-jerk reactions, and to downgrade the Chiefs too harshly for losing to another great team could be considered a...

2024 Buffalo Bills rookie report, Week 11: Rookies dinged, Codrington comes up big

Multiple rookies have bye week of healing upcoming & Codrington continues quality play

One of the most anticipated games of the year has come and gone with the Buffalo Bills taking down the previously unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs 30-21 at home. Things remained close for a large majority of the game until the Bills finally cashed in late on a 26-yard rushing touchdown by quarterback Josh Allen to put the Bills ahead two scores. A second interception by Patrick Mahomes sealed the game.

Buffalo’s rookies are currently banged up. The hope is that the majority of the class is healed...
