Entering the season, the Buffalo Bills had the unlucky narrative hanging over them that nothing they do in the regular season will really carry any weight...all eyes are on their playoff performances.
That can make things rather tricky to navigate, and through eight games, the Bills sit at 6-2 after a 28-21 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, something they seem to do every year.
But are people really moved by Buffalo's win?
Well, for tight end Dawson Knox, he knows how important it was to beat their AFC rivals.
“They're an incredible team,” Knox said. “Year in, year out, they've been a great team for a long time. So, we always know that we'll probably see them twice. So having a win during the regular season is big, and hats off to them, they're just well coached, bunch of talent all around.”

What do I mean by that? Well, the Bills must now make it count and continue on their winning ways, and it starts with the Miami Dolphins on the road.
If Week 9 taught us anything, it's that upsets happen when you least expect them. Just ask the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who both lost at home in games no one thought they could lose.
So, the Bills have to be wary of an emotional letdown against Miami, because while their division rivals appear to be there for the taking, I'd imagine the Packers thought the same about Carolina.
Don't play with your food and get the job done, because the last thing Sean McDermott will want from his team is to drop a game like this after such a stellar performance against the Chiefs.
