Amid the talk about the future for head-coach Rex Ryan, the Bills are still, mathematically at least, in the playoff hunt.
According to FiveThirtyEight, the Bills have a 2% chance of making the playoffs, while the New York Times say it's about 1%.
So, what's the path to a Bills playoff appearance? Well, it starts with winning out, which would put the Bills at 9-7. According to the New York Times playoff simulator, that would give the Bills a 5% shot of making the playoffs.
So what scenario gets them in? Here's the one we found with the fewest number of requirements, assuming Buffalo wins out:
Week 15:
Jaguars beat the Texans
Patriots beat the Broncos
Week 16:
Jaguars beat the Titans
Week 17:
