The one where the Buffalo Bills held a Boston tee party.
Did the Buffalo Bills prove anything last Sunday against the New England Patriots? Among quite a few things, the Bills reminded the Patriots that they have a lot of work to do to prove they’re a legitimate playoff team.
Though the Bills may still trail New England by a game, and despite facing long odds to six-peat as AFC East Champions, it’s clear that so long as quarterback Josh Allen is at the top of his game, the Patriots would be wise to hold off planning celebrations.
So what...

Let me start by providing a little bit of context for Buffalo Bills fans reading this article. I completely get it that it’s way to early to start looking too seriously at 2026 NFL mock drafts. But for some fans, myself included, it’s nice to focus on some of the top prospects throughout the bowl season — and as things lead towards the NFL Scouting Combine in a few months.
I wanted to focus on the latest mock draft provided by Max Chadwick at Pro Football Focus. While most mocks I’ve seen like the Bills addressing their needs at wide...

The Buffalo Bills won a big game Sunday and, in the process, did not pick up too many new injuries. In fact, they’re just dealing with two new injuries as Week 16 game prep gets under way. The problem, however, is that those are some big injuries.
Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips left Sunday’s win in Foxborough, MA early with an ankle injury. While he was initially seen on the sidelines with his ankle heavily taped, post-game the 33-year-old Phillips was seen in a walking boot. His nonparticipation on Wednesday comes as no surprise as Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott had...

We’ve asked it before, but we’re doing it again: Are the Buffalo Bills back? The Bills just handed the New England Patriots their first loss in 11 games, and have climbed back to within one game of a share in the AFC East lead. It’s still going to be a massive hill to climb to re-claim the East, especially now with...

The Buffalo Bills were in a scary place for the first half of their game against the New England Patriots. But Josh Alien came out and so did all the Bills’ talent alongside him. And maybe a little puke came out too. It’s hazy.
Anyway, Buffalo’s second half offense was a work of art.
The Bills put wide receiver Khalil Shakir in an orbit motion, which gained the attention of much of the New England defense courtesy of Shakir’s reputation for shiftiness. Linebacker Christian Elliss was responsible for running back James Cook, but...

The Buffalo Bills pulled out a win in dramatic fashion against the New England Patriots. The dramatic fashion came as the Patriots jumped out to a 21-0 lead, then 24-7 at the half. While the defense largely locked things down in the second half, that first half was ugly, ugly, ugly.
Let’s look at the Patriots’ touchdowns to see what went wrong.
What went wrong with this touchdown was more about getting to this part of the field and less about this play itself. The Bills were playing the run and there was even...

The Buffalo Bills are onto their third place kicker of the 2025 NFL season.
Tyler Bass has missed the entire season with nagging hip/groin injuries sustained during the preseason. His replacement, veteran Matt Prater, has fared well, converting 18 of 20 field goal attempts and making 43 of 46 extra point attempts, but Prater is now considered week-to-week with a quadriceps injury.
On Tuesday, the Bills signed veteran Michael Badgley to their practice squad, and it appears the placekicking duties will belong to the “Money Badger” when the Bills travel to play the Cleveland Browns in Week 16.

The Buffalo Bills have signed kicker Michael Badgley to the practice squad, just a day after news that revealed incumbent kicker Matt Prater would miss at least Buffalo’s Week 16 road game against the Cleveland Browns. Prater is considered week to week, dealing with a quadriceps injury suffered sometime between the Week 15 game at the New England Patriots and the head coach Sean McDermott’s Monday press conference with reporters.
The 30-year-old Badgley was previously with the Indianapolis Colts this season, having played in seven games before his release. With the Colt, Badgley went 1-of-1 from 20-29 yards, 3-of-3 from...

The Buffalo Bills are now 10-4 after defeating the New England Patriots 35-31 in yet another thrilling second-half comeback. That leaves Buffalo one game back of New England in the AFC East, with just three games left to play in the 2025 regular season.
Entering the matchup in Foxborough, MA, quarterback Drake Maye was widely viewed as the front-runner to win NFL MVP, while Josh Allen was quite a bit further back in the race. Have things changed now that Allen once again put the team on his back to will a second-half win, and on the road against a...

When it came to most of the universe, it felt like the Buffalo Bills were the underdogs heading to Gillette Stadium to take on the New England Patriots. Vegas odds gave a slight edge to Buffalo, but there wasn’t much beyond that favoring the Bills. Well, guess what? It looked ugly for the first half and then it got real pretty for Bills Mafia in a hurry. It felt like the Patriots just completely collapsed, and it was glorious.

For the first time in the 2025 season, the Buffalo Bills have an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot in Week 16 when they face the Cleveland Browns. They can’t do it on their own, but the path is very doable, even if they may have to wait until Monday night.
We need to revisit the AFC standings before we do the math.
The only team that has clinched a playoff berth is the Denver Broncos. A bunch of teams can join them this week including the Bills.
If a team isn’t listed, they’ve been eliminated...

The Buffalo Bills entered Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots in need of a win to keep their slim hopes of an AFC East Division title alive. After 24 minutes of play, Buffalo trailed 21-0. Things did not look good. A Bills touchdown stabilized things a bit, but the Patriots answered with a field goal before the half to give themselves a 24-7 lead at intermission.
And then, Buffalo just flipped a switch and dominated the game. The Bills scored on their first four second-half possessions, taking a 28-24 lead and wrestling control of the game back. After allowing...
