On opening night, the New England Patriots lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. That weekend, the Buffalo Bills had a chance to gain an early leg up in the division. They took that advantage, beating the New York Jets, and haven’t looked back. Through a quarter of the season, they lead the AFC East by a game.
Buffalo has taken advantage of opponents’ mistakes to build their 3-1 record. They have a 2-0 record in the AFC and a 1-0 record in the AFC East, the two biggest tiebreakers they’ll need.
