Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season is gone. The Buffalo Bills are 10-3, have already locked up their fifth-consecutive AFC East title, and are two games behind the Kansas City Chiefs in the fight for the AFC’s one seed. Not bad.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this, Bills Mafia — at least not for the national media, which questioned the team’s capacity to keep it up after losing so many veteran leaders in the offseason. It wasn’t supposed to be like this for many of you, as well, who chose to ignore the signs written on the wall — head coach Sean McDermott’s experience at elevating his teams (even with some unproven players) during the regular season, and the Bills still having number 17 to lead the way.
