Jets Turn Up the Pressure on the Bills in the A.F.C. East With a Win Over Chicago
There is the theory that the best team always loses, but in this rarefied sense, the Bills are the team that will find the top spot in the playoffs.

If that is the case, then Allen is worth a draft pick.
It feels bad to be a Bills fan, but the quarterback situation is a lot worse than it was in 2017. Without the talent of LeSean McCoy, and the top receiving threats, it is tough for a young quarterback like Allen to get comfortable and thrive. If he does, then he
