’ 20-17 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday was painful in a lot of ways, ranging from the team’s 0-2 division record to quarterback Josh Allen’s elbow to, yes, their current situation in the AFC playoff picture.
Buffalo enters Week 10 at 6-2 overall and still sitting atop the conference, owning a head-to-head tiebreaker over the 6-2 Kansas City Chiefs (-9.5)
for the top spot at the moment. The Bills still also hold head-to-head tiebreakers over the other two AFC division leaders, the 6-3 Baltimore Ravens and the 5-3 Tennessee Titans (-3)—advantages won early in the season that should not be quickly forgotten given the team’s recent struggles.
