Voice of the Fan: Best part of bye week? It’s over, but watching meltdown of Patriots was fun, too
‘Right now, in the AFC title chase, only the Chiefs, and possibly the long-ball-happy Cincinnati Bengals, are genuine threats to the Bills in the long run. It is a long slog, only about one-third of the way through for the 5-1 Bills, but Buffalo is in much better position right now than anyone could have hoped for when the schedule came out and the season began. The Bills have already beaten each of the other three division leaders in KC, Baltimore and Tennessee.’
