The Miami Dolphins may have gained some believers after scoring a road victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2, as their 2-0 start has every media outlet tabbing them as top-15 NFL team. Disclaimer: It's only been two games.
The Buffalo Bills moved up a notch themselves after a last-second victory over the Carolina Panthers, while opinions of the Patriots and Jets mostly remained static after the two faced-off in a sloppy Thursday night affair in Gillette Stadium.
Here's where the four AFC East teams stand in the major media outlets' NFL power rankings entering Week 3:
