Heading into the final week of the season, the Buffalo Bills didn’t have anything to play for. They were already locked in as the No. 5 seed, which is the top Wild Card spot.
That wasn’t changing with a win or a loss, so the only thing they really needed to do against the New York Jets was stay healthy. With that being the case, the question all week was whether or not the starters were going to play.
Buffalo ended up playing their top guys but that didn’t last long. Starting quarterback Josh Allen threw just three passes and then left the game in favor of Matt Barkley.
