After a 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills are at 5-2. While it’s certain to inspire plenty of hype, it’s actually the third time the Bills have started off that hot since they last made the playoffs in 1999.
The Bills actually started off 4-0 and 5-1 in 2008, falling to 5-2 after a loss to the Miami Dolphins. Trent Edwards was looking like an MVP candidate prior to getting knocked out of their first loss of the season with a concussion, and he was never quite the same player.
