The Buffalo Bills should be able to handle their business against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and come away with a win in Week 11. However, that does not mean they are without their concerns. Here are four massive concerns the Bills face ahead of Week 11.

Bills fans need to be aware of these 4 concerns for Week 11

1. A loss could ruin the Bills chances in the AFC East

It's true. The Bills are already a game-and-a-half behind the Patriots in the AFC East. With losing to New England earlier in the season, this forces the Bills to play catchup. If the Bills lose to Tampa Bay, they will very likely be 2.5 games back, and the Patriots hold the tiebreaker. That is not a recipe for success.

2. Baker Mayfield is always dangerous

Mayfield has been one of the NFL's top quarterbacks for a while now, and while a lot of NFL fans probably take Mayfield for granted, the truth is, he's very good. Mayfield has shown he's capable of leading game-winning drives, scoring 38 points, and putting together complete games. While he might still be a little turnover-prone, he's cleaned up a lot of his mistakes, and he can beat you if you're not ready.

3. Emeka Egbuka will be open all day

Teams playing against the Buccaneers just have to deal with Egbuka from now on. The rookie receiver will be open, no matter how hard you try to cover him. The Bills need to be very careful not to let Egbuka beat them deep and boatrace them into the endzone.

4. Jamel Dean will make Josh Allen pay

Tampa Bay cornerback Jamel Dean has three interceptions this year, including a pick-six, two forced fumbles, and six passes defended. He's been everywhere on the field and has been a nuisance for opposing quarterbacks. When Josh Allen is throwing downfield, he needs to know where Dean is at all times, or else Dean will find ways to make him pay.
