NFL Power 10—Buffalo Bills Make Their Debut, NFC East Represents

I’ve almost recovered from the knee-shot heard ‘round the world.

I’ve accepted the fact that the Patriots are no longer the best team in the NFL, or even the team to beat in their own division (more on this later).

I’ve accepted the fact that there’s a new favorite in the AFC East, though I refuse to buy into the fact that the Jets are that team.

The Jets barely beat the Miami Dolphins. You remember the Miami Dolphins. While their retired players were making jerks of themselves by rapping about going undefeated a thousand years ago and doing interviews on every radio and TV show with an audience of more than three, their current players were struggling to win a single game.

The Jets hung on to beat a bad team. Good for them. They’re still not in the Power 10. Maybe next week, if they can beat the Brady-less Patriots.

Maybe.

The Buffalo Bills, on the other hand, have vaulted from middle of the NFL pack to the NFL Power 10 with their shellacking of the Seattle Seahawks.

Their fans told me they were good. I didn’t see it. I see it now.

I’m not completely ready to admit I was wrong on Buffalo, but I’m close. Close enough to put them at number seven in this week’s Power 10.

This week, we’ll be debuting the Bottom Three.

Hint: If you’re team gets blown off the field by a bad team with a rookie quarterback and a first year head coach, you’ll probably find them in the bottom three.
