The Buffalo Bills have activated wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. from Injured Reserve (IR) ahead of Sunday’s game with the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Hardman has been out since he injured himself in his Buffalo debut, which came in the Bills’ 44-32 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.

Hardman, 27, is a seven-year NFL veteran who initially entered the league as a second-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2019 NFL Draft. After making the Pro Bowl as a returner in his rookie season, averaging 9.3 yards per punt return and 26.1 yards per...

With Saturday games upon us, that means the 2025 NFL regular season is quickly drawing to a close. There are just a few weeks left for teams to make a play for the postseason, and today’s slate brings plenty of NFC drama to your weekend plans.

First up at 5 p.m. EST, it’s the Philadelphia Eagles against the Washington Commanders in an NFC East battle. Even though they’re 9-5 and fairly comfortably leading their division, the reigning Super Bowl Champion Eagles have looked anything other than championship material too often this season. Perhaps lucky for them, Philly faces a 4-10...

The Buffalo Bills elevated two players from the practice squad for Week 16, announcing that they used call-ups on kicker Michael Badgley and defensive end Andre Jones Jr.

Jones, 27, will be active for the second consecutive week. He played 16 special teams snaps in last weekend’s 35-31 victory over the New England Patriots. He did not appear on defense, and he didn’t record a statistic other than snaps played in the game. Buffalo has four active defensive ends on the 53-man roster, with Joey Bosa, A.J. Epenesa, Greg Rousseau, and Javon Solomon are all healthy.

Defensive tackle T.J. Sanders,...

As the Buffalo Bills gear up for their Week 16 clash with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Huntington Bank Field, the team is riding high after a thrilling 35-31 comeback victory over the New England Patriots in Week 15. Trailing 21-0 early, the Bills showcased their resilience, with quarterback Josh Allen orchestrating a second-half surge that included three touchdown passes and a game-winning drive.

The win improved Buffalo’s record to 10-4, keeping them in the hunt for the AFC East crown and a top playoff seed. However, not everything is clicking perfectly as they face a Browns team led...

Buffalo’d Paprikash

The internet told me Paprikash is a Cleveland staple and who am I, a human being, to argue with the hive mind electronic intelligence that in no way is certain to become self-aware and create the machinery of mankind’s demise? Anyway, even if the Terminators that told me this was a good idea are wrong,...

Week 15 was very kind to the Buffalo Bills. Not only did they have the big come-from-behind win over the division-leading New England Patriots to keep their quest for a sixth-consecutive division title rolling, several key opponents were officially eliminated from the playoffs.

While the Bills didn’t change their six-seed position in the AFC, the path to the finish line got a lot less crowded. Here’s a look at how things stand as we head into Week 16.

AFC East Week 16 standings

1. New England Patriots (11-3)
2. Buffalo Bills (10-4)
3. Miami Dolphins (6-8)

Since the end of the 2024 NFL season,, there has been plenty of focus on Buffalo Bills star running back James Cook III. The offseason was filled with plenty of conversations around a contract extension, hypothetical trades, training-camp holdouts, and the value of the running back position as a whole. Thankfully since Cook signed his contract extension in August, the conversation has shifted towards his play on the field.

With just three games left in the 2025 regular season, Cook remains one of the top rushers in the NFL with 1,415 yards on 271 carries. Cook now finds himself nearly...

The Buffalo Bills (10-4) head to face their Lake Erie rivals, the Cleveland Browns (3-11) Sunday afternoon in a 1 p.m. EST Week 16 showdown.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by sharing the key matchups to watch and positional analysis as quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills look to pick up their fourth-straight win and keep pace with the New England Patriots in the AFC East divisional race.

Bills vs. Browns story lines to watch

The Buffalo Bills were back practicing on Friday ahead of their Week 16 road game against the Cleveland Browns. After a concerning injury report on Thursday, the news on the final day of practice this week was encouraging.

The biggest news is that tight end Dalton Kincaid was back on the field as a full participant on Friday, just a day after being listed as “DNP.” In other words, Kincaid should be good to go on Sunday. The “DNP” designation out of Thursday’s session gave rise to some concern, but it appears much of the framework for it comes out...

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has long said that he always checks in on talented players. Even if that player is signed and content with their current team. But if said player is unhappy where they are or, even better, available in free agency after a recent release? Game on.

The latter of the two has allowed the Bills to reportedly sign edge rusher Matthew Judon to the team’s practice squad ahead of their Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns. NFL insider Jordan Schultz was the first to report on Judon’s impending signing with One Bills Drive.

My article prepping for the New England Patriots game praised them for accomplishing something that sounds simpler than we know it to be: Winning the games you should. Yes there is substance to New England thriving on lesser competition, but that’s not something that should be taken for granted (see: Week 6 and Week 10 results).

On paper, there’s zero reason to consider the Buffalo Bills’ game against the Cleveland Browns as anything other than one that’s “should win.” Let’s take a look at some data quick.

Cleveland Browns +/- Chart

For those of you new to these...

The Buffalo Bills are 10-4, and after defeating the New England Patriots 35-31 last week, they have a legitimate, though slight, chance at winning the AFC East. The Cleveland Browns, on the other hand, have already been eliminated from the playoffs, meaning it will be a second straight year without a postseason berth for head coach Kevin Stefanski’s charges.

All signs point to a blowout this weekend, but the Bills have dropped some head-scratchers so far this year. They were pounded by the Miami Dolphins when Miami was just 2-7. They were soundly defeated by the Atlanta Falcons. Neither of...
