Buffalo Bills bounce back in the power rankings after win over Jets

ESPN: Buffalo Bills move up two spots after win

Current Week’s Ranking: 6

Last Week’s Ranking: 8

The Buffalo Bills had steadily fallen down the power rankings on ESPN over the past few weeks. However, the win over the New York Jets changed that and they moved back up two spots. The Packers, Titans, Cardinals, Cowboys, and Rams are ranked ahead of them.

This week, the writers at ESPN picked the most important games left on the schedule and Alaina Getzenberg notes two key divisional matchups left:

"The Bills have big matchups against the Buccaneers and Saints on the schedule, but the key games remaining are versus the Patriots. Buffalo leads the AFC East, with a chance to win the division for a second straight year. However, the Patriots are a half-game back, and the division could come down to their two December meetings — the first of which is on Monday Night Football."

The Patriots have continually improved over the season and are playing excellent football right now with four straight wins. They have wins over the Jets, Chargers, Panthers, and a blowout win over the Cleveland Browns.

The Buffalo Bills still lead the AFC East but can’t afford any more losses like two weeks ago if they want to hold off the Patriots.
