Where Buffalo Bills rank heading into Week 11

A team that has played five games – and is 8-2 for the first time in three decades – is close to getting LB Matt Milano back from a torn biceps and could also potentially get LB Tyrel Dodson back after he was waived Monday by Seattle.

Win or lose against the Chiefs on Sunday, they won't defeat the Dragon until they beat KC in the playoffs.

The Bills continue to find different ways to win. Against the Indianapolis Colts, Mack Hollins proved to be quarterback Josh Allen's favorite target. Hollins' 86 receiving yards on Sunday proved to be his best performance in over two years. With Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman currently dealing with wrist injuries, others had to step up and perform. Hollins did.
Meanwhile, Allen helped the team as a runner with 50 rushing yards and a touchdown, tying OJ Simpson for the second-most rushing touchdowns in Bills franchise history. Imagine the entire offense is on the field and hitting at full force.

Buffalo beat Indianapolis on its final TD march, eating up nearly seven minutes of the fourth quarter, but it was a stunning game thanks to some run defense issues and offensive inconsistencies. The Bills took control early with 10 points off two Colts turnovers, but allowed Indy to regain the lead with three consecutive scoring drives. Of course, Buffalo scored two more goals in the final two-plus minutes of the first half and controlled the game from that point on, but not without a few scares. On the surface, Josh Allen's 0-TD, 2-INT performance looked ugly, but he had some MVP moments in this one, like his 13-yard TD run or a brilliant 44-yard pass to Mack Hollins in the third and third round. 10. Without Keon Coleman or Amari Cooper, the Bills still averaged a whopping 7.2 yards per pass. But they will need a much cleaner performance overall in this Sunday's big game where Buffalo hosts Kansas City.

The Chiefs are coming this week. It's the Bills' chance to show that they are the class of the AFC with a game against the kings of the conference – their nemesis.

Don't look now, but the Buffalo Bills have won five straight games and appear to be well on their way to becoming the No. 2 seed in the AFC. However, with a matchup against the Chiefs coming up in Week 11, there's no reason why they can't secure the No. 1 spot.
The defense is playing great right now and Josh Allen continues to play like a superstar. This was supposed to be a “reboot” year for the Bills, but instead this might be their best team yet in the Josh Allen era.

Non-QB MVP: Cornerback Taron Johnson
The Bills are undefeated in the games Johnson has played and he is one of the veteran leaders of his unit. Since returning from a forearm injury in Week 6, the Bills have allowed a third-down conversion rate of 35.2% and a red zone efficiency of 44.4% (those numbers were 41.5% and . 50% in the games he missed). “[Johnson] “Throws his body around like he's a linebacker, like he's 240, so he contributes a lot to our defense,” safety Taylor Rapp said. “I don’t think our defense could play the same without him.” — Alaina Getzenberg
