Naturally, the team taking the biggest jump in the rankings this week was the current division-leading Buffalo Bills, who now have people's attention after two impressive victories. Taking a fall that nearly matched Buffalo's rise was the team the Bills toppled in Week 2, the Miami Dolphins.
The New England Patriots crept back into their usual top-10 position across the board after stomping the Minnesota Vikings, and, despite the loss, the New York Jets held their average position despite the loss on the strength of a gutsy performance at the Green Bay Packers.
Here's where the four AFC East teams stand in the major media outlets' NFL power rankings entering Week 3:
