15. Buffalo Bills (11)

One can only imagine how frustrated the Buffalo Bills were to see the results of Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots since Sean McDermott’s team could have pulled the win off on numerous occasions, only to come up short.

Not to mention, one can only imagine how different things would have been if Josh Allen didn’t leave the game after taking a brutal hit, but at least this can be used as a learning experience for the Bills moving forward.

Despite their impressive 3-0 start, Buffalo was still considered a team with plenty to prove since a favorable schedule over the first three weeks seemed to work to their advantage.

Obviously, any team that faces a team like New England is going to be heavily tested, and by losing 16-10, this shows that Buffalo does in fact have what it takes to compete with the best of them.

If anything, the Patriots should be the ones feeling concerned after this one since Sunday made it clear the battle in the AFC East may turn out to be more competitive than originally expected due to the Bills.

But knowing New England and their history of always finding ways to win, finishing on top of the division shouldn’t be a problem at all.
