NFL Week 10 panic meter: Bills, Jaguars in trouble?

After a few inexplicable losses in Week 10, let's check in on four potential NFL playoff teams and rank their issues on the panic meter. 

Buffalo Bills 

Panic meter rating: 4/10

The Bills can't catch a break on the injury front. Buffalo currently has 13 defensive players hurt or on injured reserve. To make matters worse, tight end Dalton Kincaid and defensive end Landon Jackson suffered injuries in Week 10. 

With multiple defensive starters out, the Bills allowed 370 yards and 7.0 yards per play to the Miami Dolphins in a 30-13 loss. On the offensive side, no one could create separation or get open for Josh Allen. That won't improve if Kincaid has to miss time. As embarrassing as Sunday's loss was, Buffalo just beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. This is still a Super Bowl contender if the defense can get healthy before the playoffs. 

Jacksonville Jaguars

Panic meter rating: 8.5/10

The Jaguars had a prime opportunity to strengthen their position in the AFC playoff race in Week 10. Leading 29-10 in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans, Jacksonville surrendered 26 straight points to Davis Mills, squandering a golden chance. The shocking loss dropped the Jags to 5-4, tying them with the Chiefs for seventh place in the AFC.

Jacksonville ranks 19th in the NFL in offensive success rate (44.0 percent) and 22nd in defensive success rate (46.6 percent), so it's hard to imagine this team holding off Kansas City in the playoff race. 

Denver Broncos offense

Panic meter rating: 6.5/10

The Broncos are 8-2 and currently sit in the No. 2 spot in the AFC standings, but fans might not feel too confident about how the offense has performed lately. Over their last two games, Denver has scored only 28 total points and ranks 30th in the NFL in dropback success rate (39.6 percent). Bo Nix is 34-65 (52.3 percent) for 316 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during that span.
