This season may not be going the way that the Buffalo Bills were hoping it would, but none of that matters this week. If they lose to an 0-13 Cleveland Browns team on Sunday, then they’re going to be the laughing stock of the NFL.

Rex Ryan’s job is simple this week: don’t embarrass yourself. After starting the season at 4-2, the Bills have gone 2-5 in their last seven games, and Ryan’s future in Buffalo is starting to look like it’s in jeopardy.

The Bills have the second-worst passing offense in football, averaging just 184 yards through the air per game. The team has looked flat over the past couple of weeks, but they have the chance to turn things around with three final games against the Browns, Dolphins (sans-Tannehill) and Jets.

Ryan has a chance to save his job by winning out and going 9-7, but first he needs to avoid falling flat on his face by losing to Cleveland. This might be the least exciting football game of the NFL season, but it could mean a lot in regards to the future of Ryan in Buffalo.
