The Buffalo Bills are coming off a bye week 3-2. The team hasn’t played a game in 9 days so they probably shouldn’t move in the power rankings, right? Wrong.

The Buffalo Bills have surprised just about everyone not in the upstate New York area. The Bills’ fans are true to their team and were confident as ever before the season began.

NFL.com has given the Buffalo Bills a slight bump in their rankings following the bye week. This can be a foreign concept for Buffalo and NFL fans. The Bills are currently ranked ahead of teams such as the Atlanta Falcons and the Denver Broncos. Both of who Buffalo beat in previous weeks.

Add the Packers, and the Lions to that list and these rankings can get you quite excited. Hey, if the season ended today the Buffalo Bills would be in the playoffs.

NFL.com is slowly becoming part of BillsMafia. ESPN? Not so much.

ESPN’s rankings were a bit harsh on the Buffalo Bills.

The sports network currently has the Buffalo Bills ranked 18th of the 32 NFL teams, a two spot decline from last week.

ESPN has the Atlanta Falcons and the Denver Broncos inside the top 10, ahead of the Buffalo Bills.

Power rankings that aren’t so easy on the eyes are par for the course with the Buffalo Bills. There is still a lack of league-wide respect for this team, but if they continue to string impressive wins together, then the dominoes will fall in place.
