It’s been a long time since the Buffalo Bills were flexed into a nationally televised game. They haven’t been good enough to warrant it and when they were making their playoff run, they were down the list.
The last time the move was made was way back in 2007, when the hot-start Bills were blown out by the New England Patriots, 56-10. The Bills rode three straight wins to get to 4-4, were flexed, won the intervening game to get to 5-4, and were promptly blown out.
Looking at the rest of this year’s schedule, there aren’t many candidates for a flex game with many of the Bills’ opponent being lackluster.
