ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) – Running back Fred Jackson doesn’t have the time or patience to figure out the various scenarios that ensure the Buffalo Bills staying alive in the AFC playoff picture for one more week.
Jackson’s only concern is Buffalo (8-6) traveling to play Oakland (2-12) on Sunday.
Everything else is irrelevant, he said Wednesday.
The Bills’ playoff chances have come down to winning and hoping for a team that will be eliminated with a loss or tie.
And beating the Raiders might not be enough either. Because of tiebreaking formulas, Buffalo ranks ninth out of the conference’s nine teams with eight more wins.
At 9-6, Buffalo would be eliminated should Pittsburgh and Baltimore, both 9-5, win Sunday, and Cincinnati (9-4-1) defeat Denver on Monday night, according to STATS.
