The Buffalo Bills take on the New York Jets this week, and both teams are coming off of opposite results in Week 8. For the Jets, a 22-17 loss to the New England Patriots ended a four-game winning streak. For the Bills, a 27-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers extended their win streak to four games.
Buffalo, though, very well should have won that game with a larger margin of victory. If not for two boneheaded fourth-quarter turnovers, we might have been talking about a very different score. Instead, we’re discussing a win that looked better than the score would indicate, and it was better—until it wasn’t.
