The Buffalo Bills earned one of the more impressive victories from Week 6 of the NFL season this weekend.
Buffalo went into Las Vegas, taking down the Raiders by a score of 33-30. The entire game was a back-and-forth effort from both sides, with each team getting its punches in.
But in the end, the Bills were able to make just enough plays to win the game, moving to 5-1 on the new season. Buffalo has gotten off to an excellent start this year, and the team has been led by its explosive offensive attack.
Against the Raiders, the offense was on full display again, with star quarterback Josh Allen putting together another strong game. In the game, Allen threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Bills to the win.
Allen's play this year has earned him buzz around the MVP award, but there is still a long way to go for this. But as long as Allen continues to play at a high level, Buffalo will remain as one of the top teams in the entire league.
In a new NFL power rankings from Bleacher Report, the Bills stayed exactly where they came in ranked from last week. Buffalo was ranked as the No. 4 team in the league, and after Week 6, they remain in the same spot.
The only teams ahead of the Bills in the rankings are the Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, and San Francisco 49ers, all of which are undefeated on the season. San Francisco has yet to play this week, but they are favorites at home against the Washington Commanders for Monday Night Football.
While the offense has been strong to start the season, the defense does remain a real problem for the Bills. The unit did play a little better against the Raiders, but the group still has some real holes that could end up hurting this team down the line.
Buffalo is going to have to address the defense at some point this year, and the Bills can't always rely on Allen to put up 30 or more points. With new head coach Joe Brady leading the way, the Bills could operate in a different way than they have in years past.
With the NFL trade deadline coming on November 10, the Bills could look to be one of the more active teams in the league. The fate of this team this season could come down to whether the defense gets some additions made to it.
