It was such an emotion swing from looking like they would put the game away early, to the "ah crap, here it comes" bit of the second quarter, to the "wait, Ben just had a 97 yard TD drive?!".

Antonio Brown continues to impress, and is a legit #1.

They have the Browns next, followed up by Baltimore on Turkey Day. This team could be at .500 and be in second place in the division in two weeks.

They're also only a game out of the last playoff spot. They already hold the head-to-head tiebreaker against the Jets, if they can beat the Dolphins that'll be another team they'll hold a tiebreaker against.
