Bills look to avoid three game losing streak as they head for Carolina

The Bills haven't lost coming out of a bye week under Sean McDermott. They also haven't gone into one with two straight losses. That all gets put to the test Sunday in Charlotte as the Bills (4-2) will face Carolina (4-3). All indications are veteran Andy Dalton will start at quarterback for the Panthers as Bryce Young deals with a high ankle sprain, but quarterback aside, Carolina's offensive strength plays directly at Buffalo's most glaring weakness. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have a game preview. Follow Adam on Twitter/X: @adambenigni Watch Adam on Sports Talk Live Buffalo Monday nights at 7:00pm.

Are the Bills the best team in football?

It's important to point out, we're asking that question just four games into the season. So much can obviously happen moving forward, but the Bills (4-0) are Super Bowl favorites, and certainly from an offensive standpoint, look every bit the part. To Josh Allen's point, they can actually be better. Does the defense concern you? These are questions that Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana debate looking toward Sunday night's matchup with the New England Patriots (2-2) in Orchard Park.
