The Buffalo Bills didn't do themselves any favors by dropping a game to the New England Patriots for the second time this year. Now they find themselves in a situation where they need help to get into the playoffs in Week 17, which is the first time they've been able to do so since 2004.
Even before Week 17 starts, the Bills could use some help today as the Houston Texans take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. If Pittsburgh wins, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be locked into the third seed in the AFC playoff race and have nothing to play for next week.
