The Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills meet up for an AFC wild-card encounter to kickoff wild-card weekend at 3:35 p.m. on ESPN/ABC. To get ready for the matchup, Nick Wojton, the managing editor for the Bills Wire, answered a few questions.
Texans Wire: For AFC East teams, are you guys just thankful to get into the tournament given the Patriots’ dominance?
Nick Wojton: I think this tune is slowly started to turn based on the Patriots’ struggles this season. That, and this is the second time in three seasons the Bills have made the playoffs. But with that in mind, the Bills are heading down to Houston in much more of a “winning” mindset as opposed to 2017. The Bills can only play the hand they’re dealt and after Week 15, they already locked up the wild-card. By comparison, Buffalo needed a Week 17 miracle by Andy Dalton to get in the dance in 2017. Much different feelings with some Patriots wishful thinking involved.
