This season has certainly not played out the way most of us would have liked and I'm not even talking about the off-the-field stuff. I'm focusing solely on the game and what's happening on the field. However, despite how dismal things might look right now, there is still hope. The Bills have the division title still in sight, the playoffs, and even the Super Bowl. It's all still there for Buffalo to achieve. But it has to start this week against the Chiefs.

The Bills have three conference wins so far this season but six of the teams currently in front of them have five or fewer. With four conference games remaining for Buffalo, they can get back into the playoff race and I believe a 10 - 7 record would get it done, as long as they win all four of those conference games, which they certainly can do.

As I said, it has to start this week against the Chiefs, so how does that look heading into the matchup? Kansas City has lost three of their last five games, including a loss last week against the Green Bay Packers. Hopefully, the Chiefs aren't too angry and come out fired up but that's not likely. The Bills have done well against the Chiefs in the regular season, but does that continue this weekend? Let's get into the five early storylines.
