I watched the second half of the Buffalo Denver game. It is an interesting backdrop. Buffalo was considered one of the top teams in the AFC and a shoe-in for the playoffs who is now struggling with an off year. Denver hires a new coach and played like crap but the improved coaching is starting to take ahold.
Denver is winning the entire game thanks to four (4) Buffalo turnovers. But it is clear that Buffalo has better talent. Can Denver hang on?

- Buffalo gets the ball with about 5 minutes to go down by 6 points
- Buff gets a long run only to have the ball knocked out of the RBs hands downfield. Another turnover? NO! the ball bounces right back into his arms and he continues the run in stride!
- Buff scores a TD with two minutes to go to go up by 1
- Denver drives the field. Helped by a key injury to the Buff's secondary and Damar Hamlin ends up having to play his first defensive snaps since the heart attack
- Denver drives into FG range but ends up taking a sack making it a 41 yard FG. Instead of going for it after Buffs took a timeout with 30 seconds to play, they try another play. Now with no timeouts, rushes the FG team onto the field. The kicker, unsettled, missed wide left. But wait! Penalty! Too many players on the field for Buffalo!
- Kicker calmly boots a 36 yard FG to win the game and probably knock the Bills out of the playoffs. 5-5 two games behind Miami for the division and 1.5 games out of the wildcard with a very difficult schedule upcoming (Jets, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers, Patriots and Dolphins)
