2018 NFL Power Rankings Week 5: Eagles miss out on chance to take down Titans

29. Buffalo Bills
Looks like all of that talk surrounding the Buffalo Bills being better than expected has quickly disappeared after seeing this team struggle the way they did on Sunday when facing the Green Bay Packers. After two horrendous games to start off the 2018 season, the Bills actually showed some life in Week 3 during their upset win on the road over the Minnesota Vikings, but it looks like their true colors came out against the Packers.
Buffalo knew ahead of time that Josh Allen would be a work in progress after taking over the starting role for Nathan Peterman, but seeing him finish with three turnovers in the loss to Green Bay was painful to watch. Even if the Bills haven’t done the best of jobs in building a reliable offense around their rookie quarterback, Allen was selected in the first round for a reason.
Unlike last season when they were one of the biggest surprises contenders in the AFC, Buffalo has clearly taken a major step back. Instead of continuing to look like one of the teams to beat in the AFC, the Bills seem like they’ll be lucky to even be close to .500 this year when it’s all said and done.
