The coach who is still reviled by a fair amount of Bills fans for quitting on the team after only his second season, 2014, and getting to pocket $4 million to boot has a perfect excuse to potentially add to his unsavory legacy by helping to sabotage their postseason hopes. That’s because the Jaguars, as AFC South champions, are locked into the third seed in the playoffs and, therefore, have no motivation to beat the Titans.’

‘“Sometimes you come out and you can do a little more than what you expected,” Clay said. The Bills’ training staff has been “good at telling me to listen to my body and not try to push things. They’ve been really helpful. They’ve been all supportive. I’m definitely fortunate, because it’s not like that everywhere.”’

‘ I think it would mean the world, really. It would mean the world to this city and I think it would mean the world to Kyle. I also know that he wants that but he also wants what comes with that at the end of it [with] the journey, the championship there, just in small talks I’ve had with Kyle about it.’

‘The Bills are second in the league in third-and-5 or less, converting 65 percent. Only Dallas, at 66 percent, is better on third and 1 to 5.’

‘Still, this is jaw dropping. The chances of missing the playoffs seven years in a row is a minuscule 3.73 percent. The chances of missing the playoffs for a full decade drop below 1 percent. The Bills have done both.’
