Joe Brady has the Buffalo Bills in a great position to start out his head coaching tenure. The Bills are at 3-0 heading into today’s game against the New England Patriots and Brady will now be looking to get his first divisional win as a head coach.

Brady has done a fantastic job with the offense up to this point. Yes, I know that the offense wasn't clicking until the 4th quarter a week ago, but you can't blame Brady for the five turnovers. He has shown that he can lead the offense to light up the scoreboard, and then also show full trust in his players when things don't go as planned, just like they did last week against the Chargers.

Joe Brady's fast start can lead to more NFL history with a Week 4 win

With the win over the Chargers last Sunday, Brady became the fifth-youngest head coach in the Super Bowl era to begin his coaching career at 3-0. He has the chance for more history today.

According to the Buffalo Bills' PR X account, Brady can become the second-youngest head coach to start his head coaching tenure at 4-0. Ironically, he has the chance to join Josh McDaniels (who is the Patriots' offensive coordinator) in that club. When McDaniels was the head coach of the Denver Broncos, he won his first six games as a rookie head coach.

Bills Mafia could see Joe Brady making history again in Week 4

It’s been a great start for Brady through the first three games. He’s overcome a tough Texans defense, delivered a great home debut in the new Highmark Stadium against the Lions, and then helped lead a comeback win over the Chargers.

Now he has the chance to pick up his first AFC East win over the team that made the lives of Bills Mafia absolutely miserable for nearly two decades. Just last season, the Patriots walked into Buffalo on primetime and beat the Bills in what would be their final matchup against each other in the old Highmark Stadium.

Brady having his first loss against the team that stole the AFC East away from the Bills last season would not be a good look. With New England's early struggles, and injuries that they currently are facing, Buffalo will have advantages, but they still have to bring their A-game and not let the Patriots stick with them.

If Buffalo plays the way that they did last week, I don't see a world where the Bills go to 4-0. It's important to start fast, don't let up, and don't give the Patriots any hope.
