With that, here are five storylines to watch for during the lead up to Bills (4-2) against the Panthers (4-3) in Week 8: There is always so much on the line when the Bills and Chiefs do battle. Regardless, it's always the same storyline in the end: Bills QB Josh Allen against Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The fireworks are usually electric.

The Panthers and quarterback Andy Dalton, who started Sunday for an injured Bryce Young, were held to three points until the fourth quarter, when Chuba Hubbard scored on a 3-yard rush with some of Buffalo’s starters sitting on the bench.

Head Coach Sean McDermott revealed postgame that the Bills had a different dynamic when calling the defensive singals this week against the Panthers.

Head coach Dave Canales met with his leadership council again Monday. The message: “I think it was more, ‘This isn’t a panic time.’”

He and the Bills' offense were able to capitalize on three Carolina turnovers. James Cook had one of the best rushing performances in Buffalo history. Even on a day when he did not dominate, Josh Allen was able to score three times and make some history in the process.

Here we'll try to look at and discuss how the Carolina Panthers are officially on fraud watch after getting crushed by Bills.
