Buffalo Bills:
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills sit just outside of the final AFC Wild Card spots with an 8-6 record based on tiebreakers. The Bills are coming off two consecutive statement wins: a 31-10 thrashing over the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday and a 20-17 win against the Chiefs in Week 14.
Allen completed 7-of-15 for just 94 passing yards and scored two touchdowns (1 pass, 1 rush) against the Cowboys last week. The 6th-year QB became the NFL’s first player to have 10 games in a single season with both a passing and rushing touchdown.
He is currently tied for third in the league with 26 pass touchdowns this season, however his 17 total turnovers this season have been an issue for this team.
Allen will need to remain consistent in Buffalo’s next two matchups against losing teams (the Chargers and the Patriots in Week 17) to keep the Bills’ playoff hopes alive before facing the AFC-East leading Miami Dolphins in their regular season finale.

LA Chargers:
The LA Chargers fired head coach Brandon Staley and GM Tom Telesco after a brutal 63-21 loss to the Raiders last Thursday—LA’s 5th loss in 6 games. The Chargers already lost their starting QB Justin Herbert to a season-ending finger injury in Week 14, now they are guaranteed to have their first losing season since 2020.
Outside linebackers coach Giff Smith and director of player personnel JoJo Wooden are serving as interim head coach and interim G.M., respectively.
