NFL Power Rankings: Buffalo Bills Rising to Top?

With three straight blowout wins, are the Buffalo Bills worthy of being the top team in the AFC in Sports Illustrated's latest power rankings?

No team made a bigger statement than the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. 

The Bills (3-1) rolled past the Miami Dolphins 48-20 on Sunday at Highmark Stadium, further solidifying themselves as one of the top teams in the NFL. With its one-sided victory over the previously unbeaten Dolphins (3-1), Buffalo has outscored its last three opponents 123-33.

Despite being on a dominant three-game winning streak, the Bills stayed at fourth in Sports Illustrated's power rankings. 

"A full-team statement win for the Bills over the Miami Dolphins," SI writes. "This was as good of a performance by Sean McDermott and his curated defense as we’ve seen throughout his time in Buffalo. Tua Tagovailoa is a good quarterback, and when he went to his first reads on Sunday they were almost always clogged and muddied. The Bills also ran the ball effectively, complimenting another otherworldly performance from Josh Allen."

The San Francisco 49ers (1st), Kansas City Chiefs (2nd) and Philadelphia Eagles (3rd) are the only teams ahead of Buffalo.

After his Week 1 debacle, Josh Allen has re-established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in football. Allen's performance against Miami was his best of the season and arguably his career, as he completed 21 of 25 passes for 320 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for an 11-yard score.

Stefon Diggs was also at his best against the Dolphins. He had six catches for 120 yards and three touchdowns. 

Defensively, defensive end Greg Rousseau was a disruptive force with two sacks and two tackles for loss. Defensive tackles Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones combined for two sacks and three tackles for loss.

The Bills defense also forced two turnovers, including an interception from safety Micah Hyde. Heading into Sunday, Miami was averaging 43.33 points per game. 

Buffalo will head across the pond Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2) in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 9:30 a.m. ET.
