12. Buffalo Bills (8)

Taking down the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day was impressive, but defeating the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14 would have been another huge statement for the Buffalo Bills as far as being a top contender in the AFC was concerned.

If only the Bills could have found a way to turn some of those settled field goals into touchdowns, Buffalo most likely would have seen different results in this one.

The good news for the Bills is despite all of the frustration that came with Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, Buffalo still control their own playoff fate at the moment since they currently remain in one of the Wild Card spots.

But as far as whether the Bills have what it takes to hang on to one of the spots, well this is a different story since there are plenty of teams heating up at the right moment that will be looking to make a strong push during these final three weeks.

Not to mention, with Buffalo’s next two games being on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots, the pressure is on for the Bills in regards to proving they have what it takes to participate in the playoffs.
