Fans are in for one of the most thrilling home runs in memory thanks to a combination of the NFL schedule makers and the football gods. Thirteen teams are within one game of.500 after 14 weeks, and it appears that every contender has at least one elite matchup left in the last quarter of the season. The Buffalo Bills will look to build on their victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14 when they play host to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Since its Week 7 bye, Dallas has been among the top football teams in the league, with a 6-1 record highlighted by their 33-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Dak Prescott, the quarterback, has solidified his status as a contender for MVP, if not the clear favorite. Every game has more intensity now that the NFC’s top seed is in reach.
Naturally, Buffalo also has a stake in the outcome. The Bills, coming off a huge victory, are 7-6 and could sneak into the AFC playoffs. Gaining a victory over Dallas would increase their chances of making the playoffs to roughly two-thirds, and the Miami Dolphins’ recent setback has made it easier to win the AFC East.
Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, is well aware that Buffalo is fired up. Jones discussed the Week 15 matchup on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday. Jones declared, “They’re a dangerous team.” “I think they can be just as good as anyone in the NFL at any given time.” The Bills have lost some heartbreaking games due to untimely errors and freak accidents, but they are undoubtedly a threat every week. Their offense is ranked third in success rate, fourth in expected points added per play, and fifth in point differential.
The defense stood out in Week 14, forcing two turnovers and eventually holding Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to just 17 points. “The players were obtained by them. The quarterback is on their team. Jones remarked, “They’re just a good team.” “Buffalo, New York is the only place where playing with a home-field advantage is different from regular games.” Bills Mafia will undoubtedly show up on Sunday. Dallas must overcome this disadvantage if it hopes to avoid playing a road playoff game because it has lost all three of its games in enemy territory. Buffalo won’t be making things simple for them.
The Bills still have an MVP-caliber quarterback under center and enough offensive talent to make a big impact despite their inconsistencies. Whether they could defend it or not, they came together behind head coach Sean McDermott and set themselves up to battle for their postseason lives ahead of a Week 18 meeting with the Miami Dolphins.
