14. Buffalo Bills (9)

After looking like one of the hottest teams in the NFL over the first half of the regular season, the Buffalo Bills took a major step back on Thursday during their embarrassing loss to the New York Jets. And while the Bills are still in decent shape overall since they currently sit at 5-3 heading into Week 10, the offense may be a reason for concern moving forward when looking at all of the struggles against the Jets.

For a team that has one of the most talented running backs the NFL has to offer in LeSean McCoy, it’s never a good sign to see Tyrod Taylor leading the team in rushing yards (35) like did in the loss to New York. Not to mention, Buffalo’s defense had previously been earning high praise for the elite level they’ve played on at times, so to see them allow 34 points in Week 9 was quite the surprise.

If the Bills’ defense struggled this much against the Jets, one can only imagine what could be in store for next weekend when taking on a high-powered offense in the New Orleans Saints. For Buffalo’s sake, the defense better not play like they did against New York when facing New Orleans, or Drew Brees is going to make them pay for it.
