. 3-7. Previous: . Buffalo Bills. 25. team. 16

Recap: A team that reached the playoffs a year ago hasn’t come close to resembling those same attributes after 10 games this season. Sean McDermott’s Buffalo Bills has had a few occasional moments. But more times than not, the club’s shortcomings on the offensive line was just one reason the club has utilized four different starting quarterbacks to date. And when the Bills have lost, it’s been ugly for the most part – outscored a combined 223-56 in seven setbacks. The quarterback picture has included Nathan Peterman (no longer with the team), rookie Josh Allen and veterans Derek Anderson and Matt Barkley. On a positive note, the defense has played better as of late.

Next Week: When the Bills take the field once again in Week 12, there will be a home tilt with the Jacksonville Jaguars. A year ago in a first-round playoff encounter, McDermott’s team fell short by a 10-3 score. Including that meeting, these clubs will clash for the fourth straight year and fifth time in six seasons.

Playoff hopes: The Bills finished 2017 with a 9-7 record and reached the playoffs for the first time since 1999. The club would have to run the table to get back to that mark and would have to play dramatically different football for that to happen. It’s been a rough year when you have wind up with more starting quarterbacks (4) than wins (3).
