The Buffalo Bills have discovered throughout the first half of the 2024 NFL season that it’s frequently hard to argue with success. The Bills are third in the AFC with a 6-2 record. They are three games ahead of the New York Jets, their closest AFC East rivals.
Josh Allen, a quarterback, has been playing an MVP-caliber game. He has thrown 14 touchdowns, made just one interception, and amassed three more running scores. Right now, Bill’s Mafia is doing fairly well.
Yes, those two previous defeats to the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens help to dampen the enthusiasm a little. But after their most recent losses, the Ravens (Week 8) and Texans (Week 9 Thursday Night Football) are currently below the Bills in the AFC standings.
All of the Bills’ 6-2 starts resulted in postseason appearances.
It was assumed that the outcome would be positive when we asked Rumblers earlier this week if they were confident in the Bills’ path and their chances of winning the AFC East by Week 11. Once more, there isn’t much cause to criticize a club that has won three straight games.
However, fans can change their minds at any time, and you never know if something One Bills Drive has done or hasn’t done recently would make people doubt the band.Was that this week? No. Bit. One.

There’s not a whole lot of confidence in Miami Dolphins outside their locker room. Right now, voters over at The Phinsider are not content. Just 7% of respondents say they’re confident in the team’s direction.
Who has been the NFL MVP through Week 8
Rounding back to the conversation of NFL MVP, Josh Allen’s chances at finally earning the honor are pretty high right now, especially when considering the current betting odds for him to win. Things have shaped up a bit different according to SB Nation’s national poll asking who has been the MVP of the season to this point.
Ahead of Week 9, many voters see quarterback Jared Goff (31%) as the overall leader in the clubhouse, with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (28%) hot on his heels. Allen comes in as a distant third in this race, with just 17% of voters naming him midseason MVP.
