The Buffalo Bills sit at 4-0 on the season, and right now, look like the only thing that can stop them is themselves, and the 31-19 win over the New Orleans Saints showed that the NFL is a tough business.
It wasn't until the fourth quarter that the Bills were able to pull away from the winless Saints, as Buffalo wasn't at its best, yet still found a way to win by two scores - a sign of a championship-caliber team.
However, for CBS Sports' John Breech, in grading the Bills' win, he gave them a "B" with a warning about what needs to be fixed in order to advance deep into the playoffs.
"There are no easy games in the NFL and the Bills learned that here,” Breech wrote. “The Saints kept hanging around until the Bills landed a knockout punch by dominating the fourth quarter. If the defense doesn't get better, this team could have another season that ends in heartbreak.”

Bills' soft schedule setting them up for No. 1 seed
Already at 4-0, with the New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers before hosting the Kansas City Chiefs, and we know what Buffalo does in the regular season to their AFC rivals, you could make the case that heading into that Week 9 matchup, the Bills could be 7-0.
If they do beat the Chiefs, then it is the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at home), and the Houston Texans. Is 10-0 a possibility?
Some would say yes, but as evidenced by the Saints game, even one's Buffalo is "supposed" to win at a canter, it needed all four quarters to get past them.
Still, the Bills' softer schedule has them primed for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
