The Buffalo Bills have been on the cusp of returning to the Super Bowl for five seasons yet, each year, something goes wrong. Last year, the trouble that reared its ugly head for the Bills fans was the penchant of Josh Allen turning the ball over in the red zone.
How frustrating it was to see the Bills move up and down the field only to have their chances at wins blunted by offensive mistakes.
This year, Allen has guarded against turnovers like a vicious pit bull fending off would-be robbers.
So, are the Bills flying high.
Well, yes and no.
They have scored more points than any AFC team except the Baltimore Ravens and their five wins in seven decisions has them sitting atop the AFC East standings by more than two games. Sometimes teams get inspired to play well because they are being challenged in their division standings. The Bills division competition is the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and New England Patriots, a trio of teams that have combined for five wins and 15 losses.
