Everything happens for a reason and just as in seasons past we may be looking at the Bills loss as a blessing that made us better.

If they beat Buffalo, there would be lots of pressure on Andy to play the starters against Pittsburgh, provided they were still undefeated heading into that game.
I would have preferred the starters rested but the media would be furious at resting starters on a 14-0 team. Too bad we won't find out how the Chiefs would have handled that.
I doubt we'll have the top seed locked up by that game. Buffalo would have to lose several games by Christmas. They're playing well and have their BYE now at a perfect time.
