Buffalo Rumblings
Thoughts, analysis, and observations of the Buffalo Bills’ schedule this year.
The Buffalo Bills will open their 2025 NFL season on Sunday Night Football, hosting the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of last year’s AFC Divisional Round game, which saw the Bills prevail 27-25.
The game also features the NFL’s last two MVPs in Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, and kicks off a stretch where Buffalo has four of its five primetime clashes in the season’s first six weeks.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with thoughts and analysis on the Bills schedule for the upcoming season.
Among the highlights of Buffalo’s 2025 schedule: The Bills will play in primetime five times, open the season with four of their first five games at home, play at least seven games at 1 p.m ET, have two Thursday Night Football games, and will take on five playoff teams after their Week 7 bye.
Following the home-heavy portion of the schedule, Buffalo travels to face the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football in Week 6 before its early bye week. It is one of the team’s eight scheduled nationally televised games in 2025.
Buffalo has a great chance to get off to a fast start. After the Ravens clash, the Bills will face six straight opponents that missed the playoffs last year, with those teams combining to post a 35-67 record in 2024.
The Bills will be on the road for six of their nine games between Week 8 and Week 16 before closing the regular season with home games against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets. It’s fitting the Bills’ final regular-season home game at Highmark Stadium will feature the Jets, who were Buffalo’s opponent in the first-ever game played when the stadium opened in 1973.
