The concept of a trap game is that a team was looking past a weaker opponent in anticipation of playing a stronger opponent. Like the Bengals losing to the Pats with a game in KC on tap. But in none of these games did we have a big game in the next week. The Bills just played poorly against the Giants, the Chargers got that new coach bounce, and the Broncos were on a heater at that point. Remember, they had just beaten the Chiefs 24-9 in their previous game.
