NFL Power Rankings, Week 8: Rams finally end losing streak by blowing out Falcons

7. Buffalo Bills (7)

Lucky or not, all that matters is the Buffalo Bills found a way to finish on the winning end against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 to avoid being on the wrong end of what would have been the biggest upset of the weekend.

Thanks to all of the struggles surrounding the Dolphins, the Bills entered this contest as heavy favorites to take down their division rivals, but it’s safe to say that Buffalo was even surprised over how good Miami looked early on.

Plenty of factors have come into play over Buffalo’s impressive start to the 2019 season, but it’s no secret their defense has played the most important role of all when seeing how impressive the unit has looked against opposing offenses.

While it was surprising to see the Dolphins’ offense perform better than expected against one of the top defenses in the league, there’s obviously no reason for the Bills to hit the panic button since rivalry games tend to motivate opponents from time to time.

Instead, all Buffalo should be focused on is how they already have five wins under their belt before next weekend’s showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, which should be another tough battle for the Bills.
