With powerhouses like the Patriots, the Steelers, the Colts, and the Chargers preparing to bang heads in what already is being hyped as potentially the greatest playoff field . . . ever, the reality is that the Bills could disrupt the affair as the six seed, which would give them the opportunity to knock off either the Colts or the Chargers (based on current standings) in a wild-card upset. Then, the Bills could raise a ruckus in the divisional round, potentially derailing a Pittsburgh-New England rematch in the AFC title game.
And with the media generally pooping on the NFC playoff wannabes (with the exception of the preanointed conference champs in Philly), no one has seemed to notice that the Bills are only a game out of the race for the final spot on the AFC side. Both the Ravens and the Broncos -- previously 7-3 each -- have lost two in a row, dropping them to 7-5. The Bills, in contrast, are at 5-6 and rising.
