The final meeting of the season between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots doesn’t have any playoff implications. But both teams have plenty to play for.

Courier-Express beat reporter Jim Baker called it "one of the most inept quarterbacking performances ever witnessed in a Bills' uniform."

The schedule is brutal and could be among the toughest in NFL history. Nick Sirianni’s team will face the Chiefs, Vikings, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, and Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers on the road. They’ll host Detroit and Denver while getting a close-up look at Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.

The Patriots nearly pulled off an upset win on the road against the Bills when the two teams last met in Week 16. However, they failed to overcome MVP-candidate quarterback Josh Allen in a 24-21 loss in the end.

The Chargers locked up a postseason berth with Saturday’s blowout victory over the Patriots, but at this point, their seed is unsettled. Entering Week 18, Los Angeles is the No ... The Chiefs are No. 1, the Bills are No. 2 and the Texans are No. 4.
