Even though they are currently in the playoff picture as the No. 6 seed in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills have little wiggle room. At 9-6 they are only one game ahead of a four-game group also trying to sneak into the tournament over the final two weeks of the season.
For the Bills, the path to the playoffs is therefore a straight-forward one: win and you’re in. That journey will continue on Sunday, with a division matchup against the New England Patriots.
The Patriots, obviously, are no longer part of the playoff discussion.
