To say the Buffalo Bills' offense has been struggling as of late would be a massive understatement. Since scoring a touchdown in the first quarter of their Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bills have gone 20 straight drives without reaching the end zone.

Coming into their game with the Miami Dolphins in Week 11, the Bills sported the worst red zone touchdown efficiency in the NFL at 41.2 percent. It actually got worse on Thursday Night Football, as Buffalo had nine possessions that all ended without a touchdown, culminating with a 22-9 loss to Miami.
Here’s a drive-by-drive recap of every possession Buffalo has had since its last touchdown:
Drive 1: 6 plays, 30 yards, punt
Drive 2: 3 plays, 1 yard, punt
Drive 3: 3 plays, 0 yards, punt
Drive 4: 9 plays, 23 yards, field goal
Drive 5: 6 plays, 25 yards, punt
Drive 6: 11 plays, 71 yards, fumble
Drive 7: 11 plays, 72 yards, field goal
Drive 8: 4 plays, 19 yards, punt
Drive 9: 4 plays, 21 yards, punt
Drive 10: 7 plays, 10, yards, turnover on downs
Drive 11: 2 plays, 16 yards, fumble/end of game
Drive 12: 14 plays, 67 yards, field goal
Drive 13: 17 plays, 85 yards, field goal
Drive 14: 1 play, -1 yard, end of half
Drive 15: 3 plays, 3 yards, punt
Drive 16: 8 plays, 49 yards, field goal
Drive 17: 3 plays, -20 yards, safety
Drive 18: 5 plays, 10 yards, missed field goal
Drive 19: 5 plays, 24 yards, punt
Drive 20: 4 plays, 2 yards, turnover on downs
Drive 21: 4 plays, 7 yards, turnover on downs
This offensive dry spell is coming at the worst possible time. Buffalo has dropped two straight games now to fall to 5-5 after it was right in the thick of the playoff picture at 5-3. The Bills have now fallen behind the 6-4 Dolphins in the playoff standings, and the 5-3-1 Cincinnati Bengals currently lead for the sixth and final AFC Wild Card spot.
