have been on bye this week, with plenty of extra time to enjoy the fruits of their Missouri labor last weekend. In defeating the Kansas City Chiefs (-1) at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 6, the Bills are now in first place in the AFC and remain in control of their widely-accepted playoff destiny: a chance at hoisting the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy.
Yes, there’s a massive amount of work to do before even getting a scent of such destiny, and Buffalo can’t enjoy the role of sleeper this season. The spring and summer were full of high expectations from the media and fans, perhaps to such a degree that little room for error existed right out of the gate.
