Patriots game a measuring stick for Buffalo? Bills say it's just Week 4

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills are 3-0 for the first time since 2011 and the world outside Western New York is starting to pay attention.

They're up to No. 12 in ESPN's NFL Power Rankings and being discussed as a possible AFC playoff contender -- and rightfully so. Buffalo has a top-10 offense (No. 8 in total yards) and defense (No. 5 in yards allowed) through three games, but hasn't finished a season top 10 in both categories since 1999, which is also the last time it finished with double-digit wins.
