The Bills are playing the Dolphins as I write this, and the Bills look really good so far. 14-0 Bills!
Edit 17-3! The Bills have been making lots of big plays. But Josh Allen just unleashed a 50 yard bomb, which the Dolphins intercepted. The announcers are saying the interception wasn't on Allen, he was throwing for the end-zone pilon and the receiver pulled up short.
Edit 2 Miami isn't going away! 3'd qtr 24-20 Miami... Don't let them beat you, Buffalo!
Edit 3 Buffalo Wins! 34-31 in a very close game that came down to the last few seconds

It's 24 to 20 at this moment, with the Dolphins on top. Surely there's not another comeback win brewing like yesterday between the Chargers/Jaguars.

Lot of sloppy play by Bills today. As a result they’ve let Miami hang around and now it’s life or death. Seen this before and they usually pull game out. Here we go 34-24 Bills. Just saw a couple of friends in the stands.Highway traffic to border was building around 9:30 this morning.

Two more games to go at most, the last of which will be the Bills losing once again (in postseason) to the home-field advantage Chiefs.
The Buccaneers should beat the Cowboys tomorrow night. Surely won't be as lopsided as their first week matchup of the regular season, but will probably still feature some déjà vu moments, like Dak Prescott being heavily pressured and throwing interceptions, fumbling, etc.

If Bills lucky enough to meet Chiefs then the game will be at neutral site, Atlanta. One of the decisions made by NFL because of Damar Hamlin injury cancellation of Bills - Bengals game.

He's could be the beacon or extra incentive they need.

Might help. Erroneously assumed that the league would still stiff the Bills when all was said and done. Just like they have allowed bad calls or no-calls to stand in games that have been responsible for sending the other team to a Superbowl.

That was one of the worst no-calls of all time. When officials start thinking of letting the players decide the outcome they set themselves up for bad moments like that. Have to be consistent from start to finish. That play would be long forgotten if they’d just called it correctly.
My bro was over watching the Bengals/Ravens game. It’s 17-17 when his favourite team Baltimore was driving to go ahead. They’re down around the Cincinnati goal line and he can’t watch so he switches the channel to Australian Open tennis. I tell him he’s crazy and grab the remote, flip tv back to game just when Ravens fumble inches from going ahead and the Bengals pick up the ball and go the other way to score winning touchdown. Now it’s my fault he says, I somehow changed history by changing channel. Kind of like the Butterfly Effect, my decision to return to the game affected events worldwide

Hubby does something similar when the team he's rooting for takes a big turn for the worst. Goes outside for a bit to do something, will peek back in later to ask what the score is. If things have changed for the better he'll stay and watch, if not he'll wander off again. If they win in the end, he'll watch a highlight video on YouTube to see what happened.

I do that too! I was cheering for the Jaguars in their game and they got so far behind that I switched my attention to the internet, figuring they were getting stomped. Only later I found that I'd missed one of the biggest comebacks in playoff history.
