The Buffalo Bills have hit their annual November lull, and the writers in charge of most major NFL power rankings have adjusted accordingly. In years past, the Bills dropped off much worse in November than they have this season. With heightened expectations, however, this season’s drop in efficiency feels somewhat worse.
Whereas the Bills were a unanimous No. 1 team in September and October, they’ve dipped somewhat as the year has progressed. The trials and tribulations of a long NFL season wear on every team, and for Buffalo, those trials have involved injury, wild weather, and travel over short weeks.
