ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Since the offseason, the Buffalo Bills have proclaimed their goal of winning the AFC East this season, with the acknowledgment that they needed to beat the New England Patriots to do so.

If it weren’t for the Steelers-Titans game getting postponed, we would be through exactly 25% of the NFL’s regular season.

Playing championship defense is exhausting. Every time a team looks elite on that side of the ball, Lamar Jackson happens. Or pass interference review happens. Or the San Francisco 49ers need 48 points to win in New Orleans. Savvy playcallers run enough shifts and motions to dizzy the best defensive fronts. But defenses are standing […]
