The Buffalo Bills were the first AFC team to get to 4-0 on Sunday and got some help around the conference. With the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens playing in the late window, Buffalo’s win just kept the pressure on both the winner and loser of that national game in the race for the one seed in the AFC.
Three teams entered 3-0, but both of the other two teams lost in Week 4. The surprising New York Giants jumped out to an early lead, holding off the Los Angeles Chargers. The Indianapolis Colts
lost to the Los Angeles Rams. The Buffalo Bills are the last unbeaten team in the AFC.
Monday night features four AFC teams squaring off with either the New York Jets or Miami Dolphins getting their first win in the early game. The Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos face each other in the 8:15 Eastern start.
