The Buffalo Bills are on the verge of accomplishing something that didn't seem realistic about six weeks ago. At the time, the Bills were 6-5 but had just lost three of their last four which included losses to the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots.

They were facing their toughest stretch of their schedule with games against the Eagles, Chiefs, and Cowboys in the near future. However, since the bye week the Buffalo Bills have been able to string wins together with three straight and now at 8-6, they have realistic playoff clinching scenarios this week.

Looking ahead to their Week 17 matchup against the New England Patriots, these are the five biggest questions for the Buffalo Bills starting with the one just mentioned.
