The team's ability to capitalize on such leads has always been a concern, especially considering their current position in last place in the AFC North following the Pittsburgh Steelers' victory over the New Orleans Saints.

Head coach Jesse Minter and his staff now face the daunting task of addressing these concerns in preparation for their upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
