There’s been a lot of gloom-and-doom around the Bills this week, with the hamstring injury to star running back LeSean McCoy coming on the eve of what will likely be the defining stretch of the season (at Miami, vs. New England, at Seattle).
There is one very big reason for optimism, however: the road ahead isn’t nearly as tough as it seems.
Despite the two heavyweights in the Bills’ very-near future, the combined record of their remaining opponents is 26-32. The .448 winning percentage they’re set to face is tied with the Titans for the lowest total in the AFC, and is also tied with the Rams for the second-lowest total in the NFL.
