These are the six players on the Buffalo Bills to pay extra attention to in Week 16
The Week 16 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots is essentially going to decide who wins the AFC East. If the Patriots win, and the Dolphins lose, they clinch the AFC East.
The Buffalo Bills won’t necessarily be able to win the AFC East on Sunday but if they do win it gives them a key tiebreaker, division record, over the Patriots. If the Bills were to win their final two games after Week 16, they would secure the AFC East division title and at least one playoff game.
The importance can’t be understated for both teams in Week 16 and if the Buffalo Bills hope to come away with a win, these are six key players to watch closely as they could have a significant impact on the outcome.
