ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills showed signs of taking a step back despite a season in which they matched a franchise record with 13 wins and won their third straight AFC East title. The team still got no closer to the Super Bowl, losing 27-10 at home to the Cincinnati Bengals in the divisional round of the playoffs. Buffalo’s previous two seasons ended with playoff losses at Kansas City. And now the Bills have been passed by Joe Burrow and the Bengals in the AFC pecking order. Buffalo enters an offseason with 21 players eligible to become free agents, including linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, safety Jordan Poyer and running back Devin Singletary.
