5. The playoff picture gets bleaker for the Bills 

With their third straight loss, the Bills are now on the outside looking in on the AFC wild-card chase.

At 5-5 on the season, the Bills are currently in seventh place in the AFC. They are tied with the Baltimore Ravens who are in the second wild-card spot and are one game behind the Tennessee Titans, who hold the first wild-card spot.

If the Bills want to save their season it will have to happen this week, as there are six teams that are one game behind them in the wild-card chase.

Those teams are: the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers and Oakland Raiders.

The challenge to get back in a playoff spot will be daunting as the Bills have to play the Dolphins and the New England Patriots in four of their final six games of the season.

Next: Well that escalated quickly
