Week 9 of the NFL is officially in the books and it ended with the whole NFL world watching the Buffalo Bills walk into Minneapolis and take down the Minnesota Vikings on primetime.
The Bills came away as the only team in the AFC East with a win as their division rivals didn't just lose their respective games, but they all lost by double digits. It is quite embarrassing, but also hilarious for Bills fans.
It's on to Week 10, the Bills are feeling great about themselves and the AFC East continues to run through Buffalo after Week 9.
Updated AFC East standings after Week 9
1.) Buffalo Bills (7-1)
Def. Minnesota Vikings, 23-6
The Bills wrapped up Week 9 with a primetime win over the Minnesota Vikings, beating them 23-6 in front of their fans up in Minneapolis. Buffalo saw first hand why the Vikings have a ferocious defense, but their offense was completely atrocious which greatly benefited Buffalo.
Once the Bills' offense started to finally get in their groove, the Vikings just simply didn't have enough to make a miracle happen. With this win over Minnesota, the Bills have seperated themselves even more from the Patriots within the AFC East, which is great considering that the Patriots hold the tiebreaker over Buffalo.
2.) New England Patriots (5-4)
Loss vs. Green Bay Packers, 45-27
The Patriots put on an absolutely pathetic performance against the Green Bay Packers at home. Losing 45-27, the Patriots committed 4 turnovers (3 of them from Drake Maye) and allowed Jordan Love to throw for 372 yards and have 4 total touchdowns. In addition, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden had a combined 17 catches for 335 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Green Bay gave Buffalo a favor by beating down the Patriots, so Bills Mafia thanks the Packers for embarrassing the Patriots in front of their fans!
3.) New York Jets (2-7)
Loss vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 35-12
Make that 4 losses in a row for the Jets. The season just continues to get worse and worse for Aaron Glenn, and it really does feel like his time as the head coach is coming to an end. Maybe he will finish out the season, maybe he won't. Either way, the Jets had no business being on the same field as Kansas City in their 35-12 loss.
4.) Miami Dolphins (1-7)
Loss vs. Detroit Lions, 19-9
The Dolphins are back on a losing streak, but to only give up 19 points to a powerful Lions offense does say a lot about the work they are putting in. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Dolphins just simply don't have the talent to win football games. However, their work ethic under Jeff Hafley cannot be denied. They may be losing games, but they aren't bad losses. Either way, they now drop to 1-7 on the season.
