The Buffalo Bills are set to face off against the New York Jets tonight in a game that has major early-season implications. If the Bills win, they’ll be 4-2 with a 2-0 record in the division. That will give them a two-game lead plus a tie-breaker over their closest competition. If the Jets win, they’ll be 3-3 with a 2-0 division record, and they’ll also be in first place thanks to a head-to-head tiebreak victory over the Bills.
While no team has ever won a division in October, if the Bills can win tonight, they’ll exponentially increase their chances at locking up a fifth-straight AFC East crown.
