Buffalo Bills 'New King' of AFC After Win vs. Miami Dolphins?
The Buffalo Bills are turning some heads after winning three straight games, all highlighted by a statement victory against the undefeated Miami Dolphins this past Sunday.
The Bills are now tied with the Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens at 3-1, holding the best records in the AFC. But the Bills' blowout win has ESPN's Pat McAfee crowning them the new king of the conference.
"The Buffalo Bills are the wagon that we were talking about with the Miami Dolphins … Stefon Diggs has three touchdowns, Gabe Davis had a touchdown, Josh Allen rushes for a touchdown," McAfee said. "The Buffalo Bills are everything we thought they were going to be last year when they were the hype of the AFC and the NFL."

After Sunday's game, the Bills trail only the Dolphins in scoring with 139 points through four games. Their 55 points allowed also ranks second in the NFL. Only the Dallas Cowboys have allowed fewer points than the Bills.
Early returns have shown that the Bills have been one of the best teams in the NFL ... but we shouldn't declare them Super Bowl-bound just yet.
Tre'Davious White's season-ending injury should be a brutal blow for the secondary, but Von Miller could soon return and bolster the pass rush.
As long as Buffalo can stay relatively healthy and win the games it's supposed to, the Bills should be in the Super Bowl contender conversation all the way until January.
The Bills are back in action on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jagaurs in London. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.
