‘Obviously, this scenario does not happen often. The last time it was even a possibility came in 1997 and the Bills were one of the teams involved.

Sullivan: Bills need answers after loss to hapless Jaguars
‘Skeptics said the Bills didn’t have to apologize for beating bad teams, which is true enough. But they certainly have to answer for losing to them. It’s not enough to accuse them of playing down to their opposition. After two weeks, it’s time to wonder just how good they really are, and if they’re a true Super Bowl contender.’
