The Buffalo Bills take a 4-1 record into Las Vegas for Sunday’s matchup against the surprising 3-2 Raiders, but their strong start hasn’t come without some close calls.
Buffalo has survived turnovers, defensive breakdowns and other costly mistakes, including James Cook’s overtime fumble against the Rams before Greg Rousseau’s blocked field goal helped give the Bills another chance to win.
Now comes another test against an upstart Raiders team that has emerged as one of the NFL’s early surprises under rookie head coach Klint Kubiak. Can the Bills clean up the mistakes and maintain their grip on the AFC East, or will their sloppy play finally catch up with them in Las Vegas?
