In the NFL, a number of teams vying for a spot in the playoffs are heating up just in time. These are excellent teams to upset in the first round if they enter as the lowest seed.
Three of the most potent clubs still in the postseason hunt are highlighted here.
Buffalo Bills (8-6) | Upcoming games: Chargers away, Patriots at home, Dolphins
After losing 24-22 to the Denver Broncos in Week 10, the Bills reached a low point and fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. But Buffalo didn’t stay down for long; over the next four games, the team won three of them and cemented its place in the postseason hunt.
Thanks to a spectacular day for running back James Cook, the Bills’ formidable offense against the Cowboys in Week 15 appeared even more terrifying. In Buffalo’s 31-10 victory, the 24-year-old caught two passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in addition to running 25 times for 179 yards and a touchdown.
Although Josh Allen is frequently asked to carry his team, he barely required assistance on Sunday. It is only the fifth game in his career that the standout quarterback has finished with fewer than 100 passing yards (7 of 15 passes for 94 yards). With a strong running game and less pressure on Allen, the Bills could be able to contain Buffalo’s offense, which could be unstoppable in the postseason.
But the Bills aren’t content to merely make it to the postseason by accident. As Miami (10-4) leads the AFC East, they have a formidable schedule ahead of them (at the Cowboys, at the Ravens, and against the Bills).
