The Buffalo Bills have defied expectations this season, overcoming significant roster changes and injuries to key players. With a 9-2 record, the team has seen several new starters rise to the occasion, proving critics wrong who anticipated a rebuilding year.

Damar Hamlin has emerged as a standout safety, matching the interception total of New York Jets' Sauce Gardner. Connor McGovern has excelled as the new starting center, playing at an All-Pro level without allowing a sack. Meanwhile, Dorian Williams has stepped up in the absence of Matt Milano, leading the team in tackles.
