The Buffalo Bills and St. Louis Rams are two sub-.500 football teams that, thanks to ultra-tight wild card races in both conferences, are still mathematically alive for post-season contention.
That's the angle both teams will be taking to this game; another apt angle: these are two middling football teams that are bad slightly more often than they're good.
Still, for a Bills team that is still fighting to prove that it's better than last year's 6-10 outfit that started the season 5-2, this Rams team - tough on defense, intermittently efficient on offense and much-improved in their first season under head coach Jeff Fisher - is a good way to measure the team's progress. A win in a winnable game against an evenly-matched opponent is not something that the Bills have routinely turned in. They'll have that chance today.
