The Buffalo Bills capped off another 13-win regular season on Sunday, dropping a 23-16 defeat to the New England Patriots that featured little contribution from their starting unit. Losing is never the goal, but when there was nothing to play for, depriving a division rival of a chance at the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft wasn’t the worst outcome of a regular-season finale.
The power rankings reflect Buffalo’s excellent season, as nearly all rankers have the team in the top end of every list available. There are fewer lists to discuss this week, as some outlets stop publishing rankings entering the final week of the regular season.
