It’s been a rocky start to the 2023 NFL season for nearly every single team in the league. Even some of the juggernauts have struggled to establish themselves as dominant forces through four weeks, with the Dallas Cowboys taking an awful loss to the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles holding only a 28-point differential despite a 4-0 record.
Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens have already taken losses as well. Outside of the San Francisco 49ers, every team in the league has either experienced defeat or narrowly avoided it. But Sunday afternoon birthed a new heavyweight: the Buffalo Bills.
After they started off the season with a repulsive loss to the Zach Wilson-led New York Jets, it appeared that the Bills might be in for a regression year. Star Quarterback Josh Allen looked shaky in the pocket and his poor decision-making led to some boneheaded turnovers that ended up costing them the game.
Pundits criticized Allen for failing to improve on his most glaring weakness and falling victim to the same old mistakes that have held him and his team back in the past. They questioned whether the cannon-armed quarterback could ever reign in his ego and stop forcing plays.

Josh Allen QB | 4 | 4 | 135 | 101 | 74.8 | 1048 | 7.8 | 262.0 | 55 | 9 | 4 | 9 | 36 | 106.7 |

But just as quickly as the NFL world started turning on Allen, he shut them up. The very next week, Allen and the Bills laid down a 38-10 drubbing on the Las Vegas Raiders. Allen proved why he’s one of the few throwers in the league worthy of being in a discussion with Patrick Mahomes.
They followed that up with an absolute massacre of the Washington Commanders. They beat a team that had looked surprisingly competent in their first two games into an unrecognizable pulp, 37-3. Despite back-to-back proclamations of dominance, critics still questioned if the Bills deserved to be held in the same air as the Kansas City Chiefs or even the Miami Dolphins.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs Buffalo Bills :
After all, Buffalo may have came out with a 37-3 victory, but the Dolphins eviscerated the Denver Broncos 70-20 the same week. If it hadn’t been for their home-field advantage, the Bills wouldn’t have been favorites at all against Miami in their Week 4 matchup.
The Dolphins with Tua Tagovailoa distributing the football to explosive playmakers like Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Raheem Mostert looked absolutely unstoppable on offense, arguably the best unit in the entire league up to that point.
Not only was Buffalo’s offense able to keep up, but their defense was able to shut Miami down, as the Bills came out on top, 48-20. Since their loss to the Jets, Buffalo has hands down been the best team in the league, as it’s high time they were regarded as such.
Bring on the Jags in London. 💪
