Week 5 is just a few days away for the Buffalo Bills, who are off to an outstanding start to their season.
Buffalo is currently 4-0, for the first time since 2008. Weird, right? Though Buffalo has made the playoffs the past couple of seasons, what is so different about the team this year?
Josh Allen, of course, is one of the team’s key components as he is third in the league in passing yards.
New wide receiver Stefon Diggs has also made a huge impact already this season, making some highlight reel catches, especially last week during their game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Diggs also is third in the league in total receiving yards. Some other notable players include running backs Cole Beasley and Devon Singletary.
Despite the incredible efforts from these players so far this season, it has all around been a team effort.
Buffalo is one of the six teams in the league that has remained undefeated still.
How long will their run last? That remains unknown.
Buffalo was scheduled to face the Tennessee Titans Oct. 11, but due to a recent spike in positive COVID-19 cases within the Titans organization, that game has been postponed.
It looks like Buffalo’s next game could be against the Kansas City Chiefs, which is still set for Thursday, Oct. 15. This is one of the Bills’ biggest games this season on their schedule, and will also air on national television. The Bills have a good shot to show the nation that this could be their year.
Just before the season started, many NFL analysts predicted Buffalo to be a decent team this year and easily be on top of the AFC East, but no one expected them to jump off to a 4-0 start.
Hopefully this year, Buffalo can capitalize and show not only their mafia here in Buffalo but also to the NFL community that they are not a team to downplay.
