It doesn’t feel long ago that the Buffalo Bills were 5-5, and coming off disappointing losses to the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos. It led to the ousting of offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey — a move many believed was made out of desperation.
Since that embarrassing loss to Denver, the Bills have gone 3-1 to improve to 8-6, and not only are right back in the thick of the AFC wild card race, but the AFC East race as well. After Buffalo’s dominant 31-10 victory over Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, many now view this team as one of the best in the AFC.
