‘The answer involves many factors, but one of the biggest is the team’s performance in close games. Last year, the Bills went 5-1 in games decided by eight points or fewer. This season, coach Sean McDermott’s squad is 0-4 in those games. If just one of those games goes in the Bills’ favor, the AFC East race could look different. If two go Buffalo’s way, the No. 1 seed in the conference entering Week 14 belongs to the Bills.’
