You can expect a playoff-like atmosphere in Foxborough, MA this Sunday. There’s a lot at stake for both the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots weeks before the playoffs begin. After back-to-back 4-13 seasons, the Patriots have turned things around under hard-nosed head coach Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniel.

Now 11-2 and in first place within the AFC East, New England welcomes their Buffalo rivals to Gillette Stadium for a pivotal game that could decide the division winner. With a win against the Bills on Sunday, the Patriots will officially retake the division, being crowned 2025 AFC East...

The Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals squared off on a cold, snowy day in Orchard Park, NY. With both teams featuring some of the worst run defense the league has seen in 2025, naturally the game was run heavy on both sides of the ball. Well, not quite.

The Bills held up to their end of the bargain, with 29 rushing attempts. That’s one more rush than they had passing attempts. The Bengals on the other hand, were shut down in the run game overall. With the Bills’ defense solid against the run, surely that meant it was a dominant...

The Buffalo Bills trailed the Cincinnati Bengals by a field goal on Sunday, at that moment losing 21-18 in a game that hadn’t gone their way for much of the afternoon. When Buffalo looked as if they were about to take the lead, they instead committed a costly turnover at the Cincinnati one-yard line.

After the Bengals quickly drove downfield to score, extending their lead to 28-18, it seemed as if the Bills were going to suffer another one of those “woulda, coulda, shoulda” games that have become far too common in the 2025 season. Instead, over the course of...

Week 14 of NFL action comes to a close this evening with a great matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers. The Eagles have the lead in the NFC East while the Chargers are fighting for their playoff lives still, and currently the six seed if the regular season ended tonight.

You want to know about rooting interests, and we took care of you late last week with the latest edition of Buffalo Rumblings’ Bills rooting interests for Week 14. But to refresh your memory: Cheer on Philly, like it or not. There are two reasons to do...

The Buffalo Bills’ Week 14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals wasn’t without drama, After getting off to a slow start and falling into a 28-18 hole early in the fourth quarter, it meant that quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills would have to find the same sort of magic required of their Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

In scoring 21 unanswered points with under nine minutes to play in regulation, Buffalo once again showed an AFC North foe that their brand of toughness and fortitude wasn’t exclusive. After Allen scored on a 40-yard scramble to pull the Bills...

The Buffalo Bills took down quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14, and now turn their attention to perhaps the most important regular-season game of their season in Week 15. Up next is an AFC East rematch with the now-mighty New England Patriots. It’s a game that carries a lot of playoff implications, even if New England still holds a two-game lead over Buffalo.

The Patriots already have a win over Buffalo, whom they defeated 23-20 at Highmark Stadium back in Week 5. With a win, New England will re-claim the AFC East crown, stealing it back...

The Buffalo Bills improved their record to 9-4 after beating the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon at a snowy Highmark Stadium. Buffalo overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit, thanks to scoring three touchdowns in less than five minutes, and Josh Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to total 20+ passing touchdowns and 10+ rushing touchdowns in three straight seasons. His 40-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter also marked the longest regular-season rushing touchdown by a quarterback in team history.

Usual injury report suspects such as wide receiver Joshua Palmer, right tackle Spencer Brown, and linebacker Terrel Bernard were...

The Buffalo Bills looked dead in the water, trailing Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals 24-18 halfway through the fourth quarter on a snowy Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium. The Bills seemed poised to suffer another demoralizing loss, seal their fate as runners-up in the AFC East and potentially fall out of the playoff picture with four weeks remaining in the regular season.

But then Josh Allen scampered 40 yards through the snow for a pivotal touchdown, Christian Benford picked off Burrow and scored the go-ahead TD and A.J. Epenesa corralled a tipped pass for another INT as the Bills...

The Buffalo Bills have finally moved up in the AFC playoff picture after their win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The win coupled with the loss by the Indianapolis Colts moves the Bills from seventh to fifth. The Los Angeles Chargers play on Monday night, and a win by them would move the Chargers into fifth and the Bills back to sixth.

The Colts also suffered a major injury on Sunday with quarterback Daniel Jones out with a torn Achilles. If that’s the case, the back end of the AFC Playoff Picture is even more wide open.

Elsewhere in the playoff...

Concerns remain, but the Buffalo Bills earned their second necessary AFC victory in a row on Sunday afternoon and held onto their AFC playoff spot after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in one of the last remaining games at Highmark Stadium before moving across the street in 2026.

With the New England Patriots in a commanding lead of the AFC East, the Bills are battling with the 7-5 Houston Texans, 6-6 Pittsburgh Steelers, and 6-6 Kansas City Chiefs for a Wild Card spot in the 2025 AFC playoffs. Even teams like the Miami Dolphins are still mathematically alive at 6-7.

The...

In a tale of two halves, the Buffalo Bills took their frustrations out on the Cincinnati Bengals, rising to the massive challenge in front of them to win 39-34 in Week 14. Buffalo is now 9-4 and battle-tested against some of the best teams in the AFC. They’ll need to bring their best for next weekend’s trip to Foxborough, MA.

The first half against Cincinnati was anything other than pretty in most ways, but there’s a reason they play a second stanza. A quick read through either of our open chats for this game will reveal plenty of folks ready...

Khalil Shakir – Right Foot/Ankle

With Buffalo trying to make up some ground and lower the 10-point deficit they were staring at, wide receiver Khalil Shakir snatched a floating screen pass and tried to gain some yards on a third-and-eight. On his way to a five yard gain, Shakir ran into his blocker and subsequently got up off the ground visibly hobbled as...
