The bright side is the loss to the Rams didn’t end the Bills’ season, though they fell two games behind Kansas City in the race for the AFC’s top seed. Buffalo was flagged for having too many men as time expired, providing Wil Lutz a second chance to hit a decisive field goal in sealing Denver’s 24-22 win last season.
