The Buffalo Bills are coming off a great comeback victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, where the defense had two crucial 4th quarter interceptions and Josh Allen looked like the MVP of the league. Buffalo improved to 9-4 and remained in the wildcard seeding, but now there is a chance they could be making a run back for the sixth AFC East title.
However, there is still lots of football left to be played. After celebrating a win at home with Bills Mafia, the Bills are on the road for their next two games against the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns. They have a big task to go into Gillette and take down the team that not only ended their undefeated season in Week 5, but are also a threat to winning back the AFC East.
While the main focus should be on New England this week, the NFL did receive some news that will affect the Bills this month. According to Ian Rapoport, the Browns, who the Bills will play in two weeks, are rolling with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders for the rest of the season under center.

Bills have perfect chance to embarrass Shedeur Sanders in Cleveland in Week 16
Drafted out of Colorado in the 5th round, Sanders now gets his full time shot at becoming the franchise quarterback for Cleveland. In four games (three true starts), Sanders has passed for 769 yards and 5 touchdowns to 3 interceptions. He’s also barely completing over 50% of his passes.
Sanders is coming off his best game with 364 yards and 3 touchdowns, but it was against the Titans who still beat Cleveland. While Buffalo’s defense definitely has some weak areas, they have improved a lot at certain areas as the season has continued on. Buffalo should have great success against Sanders, but they have to focus on New England first before they get their chance at making life hard for Sanders.
