For the last five years, the Buffalo Bills have become the big brother of the AFC East, taking over the longtime role of the New England Patriots during the previous 20 years. Although they didn't achieve anywhere near the success of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady's teams, who didn't even make a Super Bowl, they still claimed the division for five straight years.
That was expected to remain the case this season, but the Drake Maye and Mike Vrabel tandem has already wrecked that plan, as the Patriots go into their bye week with an 11-2 record, while the Bills sit at 8-4 with hopes to still make the playoffs.
