Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said the team deserves to be happy with making the playoffs but made it very clear the team still has a lot of work to do. The Bills can still win the AFC East by winning out and the Patriots losing out.

“We still have work to do, but we're a work in progress. We have by no means arrived,” he said. “We're thrilled that we made the playoffs, that's obviously the first goal … but we've got two games left. We've got a big division game against a team that we have not beat since Sean and I have been here.”

Beane hasn't gotten a lot of questions but he has quietly put together one of the better rosters in the AFC, especially on defense.

Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips interrupted Beane to talk bout just how much Beane has meant to him and the rest of the Bills.

“This man right here — Brandon Beane. He doesn't get enough credit, man,” Phillips said. “This is the man that put everything together, helped us out. He's a hell of a guy, hell of a leader. Brandon Beane — that's all I want to say.”

The Bills made a late comeback against the Steelers to wrap up their playoff spot, and they have a team built for the playoffs because of the defense. Phillips hopes the way they played on Sunday night football will be enough to get some respect.

“Every week, we get doubted; every week, (we hear) we're not good enough,” he said. “We're one of the best defensive lines in the league, if not the best. We put it on display tonight. … (We had five takeaways) on Sunday night.”

The Bills play the Patriots on Sunday and it will be another test to see just how well the Bills can perform against a good team.
