What happened: Buffalo opened 2026 with a Week 1 win over Houston. Joe Brady already entered the season with high expectations as Buffalo's first-year head coach. Manti Te'o saying Brady gave him Ben Johnson vibes pushed that conversation even louder.

Why it matters: The take here is not that Buffalo is fake. It is that one opener against the Texans is too small a sample to put Brady in the same coaching tier as Ben Johnson, and the Bills still have to prove this version of the offense holds up week to week.
