Buffalo Rumblings
The Buffalo Bills were the first AFC team to get to 4-0 on and after some help later in the day, they are the AFC’s lone unbeaten team after four weeks.
Monday night solidified the picture, but nothing of substance was going to change with the outcome of the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins not the Denver Broncos vs Cincinnati Bengals.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens played late Sunday. Baltimore lost to Kansas City and they are reeling with multiple injuries confirmed, while the Chiefs evened their record at 2-2.
Three teams entered 3-0, but both of the other two teams lost in Week 4. The surprising New York Giants jumped out to an early lead, holding off the Los Angeles Chargers. The Indianapolis Colts lost to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Buffalo Bills are clearly the class of the division and the only team with a winning record. They are also 2-0 in the division already for an early tiebreaker should it come to that. Buffalo has a two-game lead in the division early. The Bills and Patriots face off in a big early game during Week 5 on Sunday Night Football.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins won on Monday but lost Tyreek Hill for the rest of the season.
1. Buffalo Bills (4-0)
2. New England Patriots (2-2)
3. Miami Dolphins (1-3)
4. New York Jets (0-4)
The Los Angeles Chargers came into the week at 3-0 but lost to the New York Giants and Jaxon Dart. They remain at the top of the AFC West but obviously lost some ground.
The Indianapolis Colts also lost to fall to 3-1, but they are ahead in the AFC South thanks to a tiebreaker. The Jacksonville Jaguars also moved to 3-1 on the season but their lone loss is in the conference.
Early on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers rode their defense to a win in Ireland despite some questionable coaching down the stretch. They’re 3-1 and in first place in the AFC North.
The wild card teams are currently the Jaguars at 3-1 followed by the Bengals and Chiefs at 2-2. Denver and New England are on the outside looking in due to a tiebreaker.
Here are the full AFC standings:
1. Buffalo Bills (4-0) 2. Los Angeles Chargers (3-1)
