‘Three of the previous four times the Bills had a winning record after 11 games during their league-longest playoff drought of 17 years (in 2000, 2008 and 2016) they lost four of their last five games to convince no one they were playoff worthy in the first place. The other time, in 2014, the Bills won three of their last five but finished 9-7, which that season wasn’t good enough to qualify for the post-season either.’
