Now that the Buffalo Bills have won their fifth consecutive AFC East championship title, Josh Allen said the Bills can “play free” because the pressure to deliver is gone, and thus, “I think that could a dangerous team”. With the exception of the Detroit Lions at 11-1 and maybe the Philadelphia Eagles at 10-2, no team in the NFL – including the lucky AFC-leading Kansas City Chiefs at 11- 1 – is as dangerous as the Bills are as December begins, and the latest example was Sunday’s 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers on a snowy night at Highmark Stadium.

On NBC’s pre-match show, after watching the Eagles impressively defeat the Ravens in Baltimore, analyst Chris Simms said: “The Lions and Eagles are the two best teams in football and they are in a separate class.” I’ll throw a defiant red flag at that because I’m sure the 10-2 Bills would beg to differ. They are squarely in the top division as they have won seven games in a row, scored at least 30 points in the last six, and with nine games of at least 30 points, they have equaled the team record held by the Bills of Jim Kelly created in 1991 and was matched by Allen’s 2020 Bills. And there are still five games left.
