Bills Lead AFC Playoff Picture at 6-1

The Buffalo Bills improved to 6-1 with a 36-10 win over Baltimore, moving alone into first place in the AFC and tying for the NFL’s best record. The victory was shaped by injuries to Ravens quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, prompting debate over how much Buffalo’s defensive showing reflected the opposition. New England remains 1.5 games behind in the AFC East and holds a tiebreaker over the Bills, while Buffalo next faces Minnesota. Analysts have also discussed Buffalo’s offensive approach, unsuccessful two-point tries and possible deadline additions at receiver or tight end after Josh Palmer’s injury; despite their strong position, the Bills still face questions about their playoff prospects.
