Buffalo Bills are fighting hard to get a wildcard playoff berth and
they will face another hurdle in their road to postseason as they take
on reviving St. Louis Rams in Week 14 game on Sunday, December 09, 2012,
at Ralph Wilson Stadium, Buffalo, New York.
Both teams are desperate to continue their winning momentum in race to save their season. This game would end the playoff hopes for one of these teams.
Rams (5-6-1) are currently feeling over the moon after beating the mighty San Francisco 49ers in Week 13 by 16-13 in overtime. The team is on course to win three games in a row for the first time since the 2006 season.
In order to qualify for the playoffs, Rams must win all of their next four games as they currently stand 11th in the National Football Conference (NFC). Earlier this week, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said:
"This team is focused on Buffalo. It's our next opponent. There's too much that could happen right now. I don't even know what the record is of some teams in the division. So, we just go play."
Meanwhile, Bills (5-7) are also looking confident after getting their second victory in three games. The team is tied at second place in American Football Conference (AFC) East.
It will be a gigantic task for Bills to go to postseason after a league record 12 seasons. However, they will have to do it without many of their starters who are out due to injuries.
Defensive end Chris Kelsay, Center Eric Wood and right tackle Chris Hairston are all out for the rest of the season with season ending injuries.
Moreover, the offence will be without their top wide receivers Stevie Johnson and Donald Jones while cornerbacks Aaron Williams and Leodis McKelvin are also out.
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will go against his former team with a very thin offensive line that will include Sam Young, Kraig Urbik and David Snow.
The offence will come face to face against Rams defence that put up 13 sacks during the last four games. Giving his views about facing Rams defence, Bills head coach Chan Gailey said:
"They do a great job of rushing the passer and (Chris) Long will be a challenge over there for Sam. That will be a real challenge for him. To be honest with you, they rotate through a lot of guys that can play. This might be overall as athletic of defensive front, and powerful combined with quickness a defensive front, as we have played all season."
Bills defence has also shown good form in recent weeks as they limited the opposing defence to an average of just 17 points during last three games while compiling 11 sacks. Rams 24-Bills 17
