The Buffalo Bills lost a heartbreaker to the Houston

Texans last Sunday Authentic Jaquan Johnson Jersey , in another game where the defense played lights-out and the offense played like the lights were out.Outlets are starting to warm up to the Bills as “definitely not the worst team in the league,” thanks to their early wins and strong defense, but they’re settled right in the thick of the back of the pack. Read on for this week’s power ranking lineup.ESPN gave Buffalo a slight boost from 29th to 28th in their power rankings, and noted that the Bills only have a 2.9 percent chance of making the playoffs (given their current playing abilities). The 1-5 Colts are still ranked ahead of the Bills, but that will change this week if Buffalo can upset the betting favorite with one of their backup quarterbacks under center.The Bills dropped from 29th to 30th in The MMQB’s weekly staff poll. The staff writer was not impressed with the way Buffalo handled its quarterback situation this year (shock and awe).Despite their loss, the Bills actually moved up one spot in the SB Nation power rankings, from 30 to 29. That continued a climb from the week prior, when the Bills rose from 31 to 30 after beating the Tennessee Titans.Vinnie Iyer at The Sporting News was higher than anyone on the Bills last week (with a lofty 25th overall ranking), but he dropped the Bills two places to 27 after their loss to Houston. Iyer likes Buffalo’s defense, but not their tendency to turn the ball over on offense.In the USA Today power rankings, the Bills remained at 28 Jaquan Johnson Jersey Boys , and the author shared some sympathy for quarterback Nathan Peterman.The Bills fell one spot in The Associated Press poll, from 26 to 27. That makes them the worst-rated team with 2 wins. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Don’t count out LeSean McCoy just yet.Though the Bills running back missed practice Wednesday to nurse a sore left hamstring, McCoy told The Associated Press there’s a chance he’ll play in Buffalo’s home game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.“I want to try to get in a couple of good games before it’s over,” McCoy said, before leaving the locker room.McCoy winked as he said that in a clear reference acknowledging he’s running out of time to make any semblance of an impact in what could become the worst season in his 10-year career.He’s topped 100 yards rushing just once, scored twice and managed just 479 yards rushing. That’s 258 yards shy of his career low in 2009, when he had just four starts in 16 games during his rookie season in Philadelphia.McCoy’s playing status against the Lions is cloudy for various reasons.For one, he’s injured. McCoy had just 1 yard on two carries and also dropped a pass in playing nine snaps before being sidelined in a 27-23 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.With Buffalo (4-9) out of playoff contention, the Bills are also focused on evaluating their youth over their final three games.Undrafted rookie running back Keith Ford was promoted off the practice squad in a move coach Sean McDermott said was based on merits.“Keith, for a rookie Youth Josh Allen Jerseys , has worked extremely hard since Day 1, and continues to earn the right, so we brought him up this week,” McDermott said.As for McCoy, McDermott would only say “we’ll just take it one day at a time right now” when asked if he expects the veteran to be able to practice this week.McCoy was a limited participant during the team’s pre-practice stretching period. He then jogged lightly off to the side once practice began.Backup running back Chris Ivory practiced fully after hurting his left shoulder in the fourth quarter against the Jets. The Bills also have a fourth running back on their roster, rookie Marcus Murphy.While McCoy and the rest of the running backs have struggled, rookie quarterback Josh Allen has suddenly become Buffalo’s top running threat. Allen has combined for 335 yards rushing in his past three games, and now leads the team with 490 yards rushing and five touchdowns.Ford spent his first two seasons at Oklahoma before ending his college career with two seasons at Texas A&M, where he combined for 1,217 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns in 26 games.Ford learned of his promotion shortly after being informed by his father that Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll spoke highly of the running back during a news conference on Monday.“He said, my name came up out of nowhere Josh Allen Jerseys Stitched , and he was like, ‘It’s kind of weird Keith, you should watch it. They think highly of you,'” Ford said. “I watched it, and not too long after that I get a call from my agent. … It’s a blessing. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.”Daboll said he had a soft spot for Ford because of his work ethic.“He’s one of the guys that kind of stands in the background when we’re working our reps and is asking a lot of questions,” Daboll said. “He’s a young guy that’s trying to develop the best he can. You appreciate guys like that.”NOTES: Kicker Stephen Hauschka (hip) did not practice, though McDermott said he expects him to be ready to play Sunday. … Safety Dean Marlowe was promoted from the practice squad a day after Buffalo placed cornerback Taron Johnson on injured reserve. … The Bills signed WR Tanner McEvoy, TE Kyle Carter and CB Josh Thornton to their practice squad.
