The New England Patriots won their Thursday night contest in convincing fashion over the Atlanta Falcons. With the win, New England moved to seven wins, which is one more than Buffalo. The Bills’ winning percentage keeps them in first place today, but a loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday would knock Buffalo from the top spot in the division for the first time since September.
With a loss, the best position the Bills could end up in is fifth place in the AFC, but that can’t happen with the schedule this week. Instead, Buffalo would be sixth or seventh, and they’re much, much more likely to be seventh than sixth.
