In today’s edition of the Buffalo Bills daily links, despite being on their bye week, we break down all of the ways the Bills benefitted from other teams losing in Week 11 and moved one step closer to winning the AFC East title for the first time in 25 years.
Buffalo will head into Thanksgiving alone atop the AFC East standings after all of their divisional rivals suffered losses in Week 11. The Bills (7-3) are currently tied for the third in the AFC with the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee Titans. Thanks to a 5-2 record in the conference, the Bills currently hold the No. 3 spot.
We also take a look at what the Bills need to do to improve coming out of the bye, hear from head coach Sean McDermott on the status of starting center Mitch Morse, discuss the news that tight end Tommy Sweeney’s season has come to an end after a cardiologist discovered he has a heart condition called myocarditis, analyze why the speed of return man Andre Roberts is setting Buffalo up with good field position, identify six Bills who will play a major role over the team’s final six regular-season games, and much more!
