The Bills were a playoff team last season, but I'm worried there will be more excitement in the parking lot in 2018. Buffalo's uncertainty at quarterback could lead to the team taking a step back in 2018. In addition to the quarterback position, the Bills' overall roster wasn't as strong as some of the teams at the top of Hanzus' rankings. At the top of Hanzus' list were the Vikings, Jaguars, Falcons and Texans. All five teams are worthy of their rankings. Minnesota and Jacksonville both made it to the championship game of their respective conference and are built to contend for the foreseeable future. Atlanta was recently in the Super Bowl and their 10-6 season was considered a "down" year. Houston also belongs at the top of the list despite their 4-12 season. The Texans' Deshaun Watson played extremely well before going down with a torn ACL as a rookie and the roster has a strong defense in place. Other teams ranked above Buffalo included the Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Chargers, Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals.
