Bills And 49ers Are Heading In Different Directions
Riding a 9-2 record, the Bills are in a close race with the Chiefs for the #1 seed in the AFC. They need to continue to win while hoping Kansas City loses.
However, they have a tough remaining schedule to close out the regular season. In the next few weeks, they will take on the 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and Detroit Lions.
At least Buffalo looks destined for a playoff spot and run.
On the other side, the 49ers are clinging to playoff hopes at 5-6 but still within striking distance in the NFC West.
San Francisco is coming off a Super Bowl LVIII appearance, and most analysts projected them to contend for another NFC crown.
With so many injuries, the team needs to rack up wins if it wants to compete for a potential Super Bowl.
