The Texans have more than one open path to playoff contention. For one, they could win their division outright, as they have the fortune (?) of playing in the AFC South, where 6-5 is good enough for a tie for first place with the Colts. And while the Colts currently hold the tiebreaker, the Texans sit in good position, for now, in the Wild Card race. If the season was suspended today, Houston would be the No. 6 seed in the AFC. The Bills, on the other hand, have a little less hope. There is no catching the Patriots (10-1) atop the AFC East, and they are also behind the fellow division rival Jets in the Wild Card race. Buffalo, as of now, sits in the 10 spot in the AFC. They need a lot to break their way. But perhaps a Bills run begins with Sunday’s game.
