Not only is it the time of year when everyone is putting the finishing touches on their Thanksgiving plans, but it’s also the point in the NFL season when fans find out if their favorite team has a realistic chance of making the playoffs. There were rumors going into the 2023 NFL season that at least three AFC East teams might qualify for the postseason. Now, the division winner will be the only team that appears to be competitive in January. For now, that will be the Miami Dolphins, who during their bye week sat back and watched the mayhem throughout the league occur. Over the last two weeks, the division record has dropped to 0-7 due to the poor performance of the other three teams in the division.Not only is it the time of year when everyone is putting the finishing touches on their Thanksgiving plans, but it’s also the point in the NFL season when fans find out if their favorite team has a realistic chance of making the playoffs.

turnovers during the night. There was a flag for 12 men on the field when it seemed they had somehow survived after Denver missed a field goal with time running out. Josh Allen, the quarterback, is currently playing reckless football, which forces the defense to hang on until the end of the game when they are out of gas.
The New York Jets were in Vegas attempting to gain momentum for their game against Buffalo the following week. Instead, the team was left with an offense that has now gone two weeks without a touchdown on offense after failing to score a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. Although there were some drops, quarterback Zach Wilson didn’t have a terrible game, but they were unable to complete the task. Tight end Tyler Conklin appeared to have unintentionally knocked the ball away from wide receiver Garrett Wilson during the team’s Hail Mary attempt. The fact that special teams have been awful lately is further evidenced by Denver’s average field position at the 42-yard line in Week 10, which was the culmination of a perfect storm that led to a 5-5 record. The price they paid for being in this situation? The back third of their schedule is where the worst is yet to come.Particularly to their devoted supporters, the Buffalo Bills have recently proven to be among the league’s most underachieving teams. The Bills’ offensive unit consistently catches up too late in games, which hinders their chances of mounting a strong late comeback.
Despite the fact that they had no business losing to the Denver Broncos, Monday night was the same. After the team won the toss and chose to receive for the first time this season, Bills Mafia believed that things would be different. Instead, on the game’s opening play—the first of four—running back James Cook fumbled the ball.
basically sums up the season for the Jets. The loss moves their record to 4-5. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers continues telling people that he will return this season, but it seems foolish to rush back if the team isn’t in playoff contention.
The New England Patriots, who only seem to be able to defeat the Buffalo Bills at this point (go figure), are in yet another mess after one week of football. With quarterback Mac Jones, their offense is at its worst; against the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday in Germany, the offense managed just six points. The situation deteriorated to the point where Jones was benched during the team’s final drive, which included a touchdown opportunity for the team to win.Jones was missing open receivers and threw a mind-boggling interception that was woefully under thrown.
New England is 2-8 on the season, and it’s time for them to look toward the future. This may include selecting another quarterback with a top draft pick, as well as making Bill Belichick ride off into the sunset.
