The reigning league MVP showed why that was the case. Buffalo's star quarterback had some hiccups early at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but closed out strong in a 44-32 win. Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns on 317 passing yards and also ran in three for a six-score day.

Meanwhile, in the NFC, the Rams seized control of the West by barely hanging on to beat the Seahawks in a battle between two of the NFC’s best. The win vaults the Rams atop the division standings and also gives them a great chance to earn the conference’s No. 1 seed.

In Buffalo's defense, this was a classic trap game. The Bills played the Chiefs in Week 9 and they have this game in Week 11, so there's a 50% chance they didn't even bother game-planning for the Dolphins, who were 2-7 going into the game.
