Have the Buffalo Bills already won the AFC East?

The Buffalo Bills were left for dead by so many ahead of training camp. The trade of Stefon Diggs was labeled as their Super Bowl window slamming shut, and releasing so many veterans was seen as a rebuild coming. I guess everyone forgot that Josh Allen was the Bills' quarterback.

Buffalo is currently 2-0 after dismantling the Miami Dolphins 31-10, which makes Allen 12-2 against the Dolphins for his career. Unfortunately for Miami, the Dolphins had to put Tua Tagovailoa on IR after he sustained a concussion, and Tua will meet with outside neurologists after a long history of head injuries. This means Miami will likely be moving forward with Skylar Thompson for at least the next four games. 

Elsewhere in the AFC East, the New York Jets have struggled in the first two weeks. They were blown out by the San Francisco 49ers and struggled to beat the lowly Tennessee Titans and Will Levis. And while the New England Patriots defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, the Bengals always start off slow - the Patriots aren't a good football team that is any threat of winning the AFC East. 

It's a real possibility that the Bills will have the AFC East locked up by Thanksgiving with how little competition they'll have. The Jets may make a small push to take the crown, but this is the Bills' division to lose.
