AFC playoff picture, Week 7: Buffalo Bills half-game out of first in AFC East | Buffalo Rumblings

The AFC South features two teams with 4-3 records at the top (Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars) but the AFC East is dominating the Wild Card spots currently with the Bills and Dolphins the only two teams two games above .500 that aren’t leading their division.

"When everybody takes accountability for that, normally you can flip things around. To tell you that Bob's not going to go back and look at things, he does that. That's what he does. He's a great coach. He does that. He's a smart guy and has had a lot of success here. You figure it out and then the players do the same thing and then you go make productive plays happen. That's how it works. No different on offense. No different on defense. That's what you do."

Chiefs' Marcus Peters to speak on behalf of Marshawn Lynch | Mercury News
According to multiple national reports, Peters will speak on behalf of Lynch at the running back’s upcoming appeal of a one-game ban he received after racing onto the field Thursday, allegedly to defend Peters
A source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Peters will speak over the phone if he cannot attend in person.
Peters and Lynch are each Oakland natives who found themselves in a controversial situation during the Raiders-Chiefs game Thursday.
Peters would speak via telephone if he can make it work with his schedule, the source said.
The Patriots still have a tough schedule ahead with the Falcons, Broncos, Raiders, Steelers, and five divisional games left to play. A couple more losses shouldn’t shock anyone, especially based on how the defense has played this year.
The Steelers are known for playing down to their competition, but they have a pretty easy slate of games with the AFC South and the Aaron Rodgers-less Packers on the horizon. Still, Pittsburgh is no sure bet to make it through the rest of the year unscathed.
The Chiefs have two games against the Broncos and a road game against the Cowboys, but they also have a pretty unimpressive remaining schedule, with most of their tough games already in the books.
If I had to guess, I would pencil the Chiefs in for the #1 seed and the Patriots in for #2, with the Steelers and Texans playing for the #3 or #4 seed in their week 16 match-up.
Former Tech QB Patrick Mahomes, now in his rookie season with the Kansas City Chiefs, was at the game.
