It was spoken at a players meeting early in the season. Sitting at home and watching other NFL clubs participating in the playoffs was a fate they did not want to endure again this January. That fate unfortunately became reality for Buffalo’s players following their loss Sunday to Washington.
With the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets both posting victories this past weekend, both will have at least nine-win seasons, something Buffalo can no longer achieve after enduring their eighth loss at FedEx Field.
“We said the biggest sin is to be home watching somebody else in the playoffs, so this is very heartbreaking,” said a dejected Nickell Robey in the locker room Sunday.
