Yes, it’s only been two games and there is still plenty that could happen this season. However, fans cannot deny the fact that Joe Brady is off to a great start as the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills. When the Bills chose Brady as the replacement for Sean McDermott, there were a lot of people that weren’t happy with this decision.
However, the critics are nowhere to be found because of what Brady has been able to pull off in his first two games as a rookie head coach. He doesn't just have them at 2-0, but he has the offense flying at a high rate against the Texans and Lions.
Bills are on a fast start under Joe Brady
He helped the Bills get their first win in Houston since 2006, and then turned around four days later to put up 41 points on the Lions. He's off to the best start that we have seen from a Bills head coach to begin their tenure, and now he has the chance to join some elite company with a win over the Chargers tomorrow.
According to the Buffalo Bills' PR team, Brady had celebrated his 37th birthday this past week, which makes him the second-youngest coach across the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL behind Blake Butera, who is the manager for the Washington Nationals. With a win on Sunday against the Chargers, Brady has the chance to become the fifth-youngest coach to begin his coaching career at 3-0.
The four other coaches that have pulled off this accomplishment are Josh McDaniels, John Madden, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin. Three out of four of these coaches are recognized as some of the best that the game has ever had. I think we know who the one on this list isn't...
With a win on Sunday, Brady can become the fifth-youngest coach to begin his coaching career 3-0.

Josh McDaniels (33), John Madden (33), Bill Cowher (35) and Mike Tomlin (35) are the only coaches younger than Brady to win their first 3 games as a head coach. https://t.co/X8pCwYGkvw
Joe Brady can make even more history early on in his coaching tenure
Brady has already become the first head coach in Bills history to start off 2-0 in his first season, and he's doing it by making the Bills' offense nearly unstoppable. He's put up 36 points on a tough Texans defense, and then managed to score even more points later on in the week against a Lions team that also has a high-scoring offense.
With the Chargers coming to Western New York as a surprisngly bad 0-2 team, Brady has a great chance to put the Bills in a position to get their third win with ease. However, with the Bills having extra rest and preparation, there is always a setup for a potential trap game.
Buffalo and LA face off tomorrow at 1PM in Orchard Park, and the Bills are looking to keep things going as Septemeber rolls on.
