The Buffalo Bills were a popular “fade” this offseason, with many pundits assuming an offseason veteran purge that included jettisoning stalwarts such as Stefon Diggs, Mitch Morse, Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, and Tre’Davious White would lead to a step back for the four-time defending AFC East Division champs. The early returns suggest that those thoughts about Buffalo’s prospects this year weren’t accurate.
After two big wins — a 34-28 victory at home over a potent Arizona Cardinals team and a 31-10 road drubbing of the Miami Dolphins — the Bills look just as potent as they ever have.
