The Buffalo Bills had one of the more polarizing offseasons of any National Football League (NFL) team this summer.

Despite all the trouble the Bills went through this offseason, they are certainly still in contention for the hottest team in the NFL through week two.

You also cannot forget about the Boston Red Sox, who almost always seem to make things interesting toward the season’s end. Before the AL East draws to a close, we will break down how each team is faring going to the final stretch of the season.
