The Buffalo Bills have elevated two defensive players from the practice squad, and both are veteran NFL players. The team announced on Saturday that defensive end Andre Jones Jr. and cornerback Dane Jackson have been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s game at the New England Patriots.
Jones, 27, was originally a seventh-round draft choice of the Washington Commanders in the 2023 NFL Draft. Over the last two seasons, he appeared in 16 games, making two starts while with Washington. He has five total tackles and three pass deflections on his career. This is the first elevation for...

The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots are set to face off in a huge Week 15 AFC East showdown. It’s a matchup that players around the NFL refer to as a “hat and t-shirt” game, where the Patriots can re-claim the division crown by winning on Sunday. You can be certain that’s New England’s plan, anxious to take back the AFC East after its five-year stay with One Bills Drive.
While the players and coaches will ultimately decide who the better team is on Sunday, it’s impossible to ignore the other unit involved in on-field action: the officiating crew....

Before I get going with my thing, please make a detour to Buffalo Rumblings reader garsimeon’s post on The Feed for a very in depth breakdown on opponent adjusted metrics. Consider my article here the 101 level on the topic with gar’s the PhD version.
The New England Patriots have been on a roll, currently sitting two games ahead of the Buffalo Bills. What’s been the secret to the Patriots’ success this season? Most metrics have New England rated very highly. Critics suggest a weak schedule. Let’s take the most important metric there is (the score) and see how the...

A lot went the Buffalo Bills’ way in Week 14. A big win over quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals helped their case for a long postseason run. With four weeks of a full NFL schedule of games left to play, there’s plenty that’s still undecided, including who this year’s AFC East champion will be. The Bills can keep that undecided by redeeming their early season loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon.
While it will take help from their not-so-friendly division neighbors, the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, a sixth straight crown for Buffalo...

Whether it’s tailgating or homegating, fans of the Buffalo Bills are known to be elite tier when it comes to food. Wingin’ It returns for it’s eighth season of Mad Hatter-esque recipes, taking inspiration from the Buffalo Bills and their opponents.

The one where Josh Allen broke more records while doing Josh Allen things.
It’s time once again for us to walk the aggregate path that is the Buffalo Rumblings’ NFL power rankings roundup. In getting this to you far later than preferred, I’ll dispense with a ton of the free jazz build-up and get down to business.

When Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actress/singer Hailee Steinfeld got married in Santa Barbara, CA back on May 31 of this year, they had only been engaged for six months. The old adage of “when you know, you know” certainly rang true for what some fans now refer to as the “King and Queen” of Buffalo.
Steinfeld has been fairly forthcoming about her relationship with Allen, especially in the Beau Society newsletter, a platform she launched back in August of 2024 to help engage her readers and keep fans up to date with her personal and professional life. Recently,...

The Buffalo Bills may take the field in Foxborough, MA without their best defensive playmaker from the last two weeks. Cornerback Christian Benford, who had a game-changing interception returned for a touchdown last week after a scoop-and-score the week before, did not practice on Friday.
Head coach Sean McDermott said in his regular Friday morning media session that Benford’s toe injury happened in practice, but that was as much information as he was willing to give. He did confirm that the fourth-year corner would not be participating in the Bills’ final practice before they hit the road to take on...

The Buffalo Bills face off against the New England Patriots this weekend, and this game could decide the AFC East division champ. With a victory, New England will clinch their first division title since the 2019 season, which would simultaneously break a six-year streak of division titles for the Bills, who have won it every season since.
Given that the Patriots beat Buffalo earlier this season, winning 23-20 in primetime all the way back in October, the tiebreaker goes to New England at the moment. The Bills have just one divisional game remaining after this one, the regular-season finale against...

The New England Patriots are 11-2 and in first place in the AFC East. The Buffalo Bills are 9-4 and in second place in the AFC East. If New England beats Buffalo on Sunday, they clinch the AFC East Division title. If the Bills beat the Patriots, they delay New England’s ability to clinch, keeping the door ajar ever so slightly for a sixth-straight AFC East title to remain in Orchard Park, NY.
The breakdown above might be simplistic, but it’s also true. A three-turnover performance in October that dropped the Bills to 4-1 and pushed New England to 3-2...

Week 15 of NFL action begins tonight, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Atlanta Falcons for an NFC South battle bathed in the lights of Thursday Night Football. At 7-6, the Buccaneers really need a win to keep their lead over the also 7-6 Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile the 4-9 Falcons have since turned things over to veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in the last month following a season-ending injury to quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
Tonight’s game doesn’t carry the same glitz it appeared to hold early in the season, thanks mostly to Atlanta’s woes. That matters not, as every NFL...
