While sitting in meeting rooms on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills fell one spot in the AFC playoff picture as the Pittsburgh Steelers moved up to second place. Pittsburgh wins the AFC tiebreaker thanks to an undefeated record in the conference. If the Bills win Monday, they move back up to second.

The Bills are playing for second because the surprising Indianapolis Colts pulled out another victory, holding off the gritty Arizona Cardinals late.

The Baltimore Ravens continued their losing ways on Sunday, holding on for a first-half tie, but the Los Angeles Rams ran away in the second half. Baltimore,...

Here we go, Rumblers! Another Sunday of NFL action is finally here. Unfortunately today’s slate happens without the Buffalo Bills, who will instead be the early featured game for Monday Night Football on ESPN. So pardon the take, Carrie Underwood, but we most definitely haven’t been waiting all day for Sunday night.

Nonetheless, there’s plenty to enjoy as you count the hours down to your post-dinner/pre-happy hour/whatever you do in whatever timezone you live in before a Bills game. It started early, with a 13-11 snoozer overseas between the New York Jets and Denver Broncos. We’re sorry England — well…...

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.

First and foremost thank you again to FLBillsFan451 for coming through with a good idea and sticking with the series. I was sent a list of possible ideas from FLBillsFan451 that were Atlanta-themed and one stood out. I liked the idea of rainbow bagels, which are apparently a thing in Atlanta and I loved the presentation....

Well that wasn’t much fun. The Buffalo Bills dropped a divisional game at home. Josh Allen looked less than superhuman. Stefon Diggs did a little gloating as a member of the New England Patriots. Sunday night wasn’t pleasant. But Monday made things a little better because the Kansas City Chiefs lost, which made the pettiness in Bills Mafia happy.

Overall, while we want the Bills to win all the games all the time, it wasn’t as terrible a week as Sunday night made us feel was true. The Colts moved back up to the top, but all of the other...

The Buffalo Bills (4-1) know they let a game slip through their fingers when they couldn’t overcome a slow start and three turnovers in a Week 5 home loss to the New England Patriots.

Since the start of the 2019 season, the Bills are 22-6 under head coach Sean McDermott following a regular-season loss, and they’ve won 10 of 12 road games following a loss. Which should serve as a good omen as McDermott prepares Buffalo to travel south for a Week 6 clash with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by...

Great news, Bills Mafia! Defensive tackle Ed Oliver and linebacker Dorian Williams will be active on Monday. I wish that was all the news we got from One Bills Drive on Saturday, but if you’ve been following the Buffalo Bills for any time at all, you know there’s more.

So, while the Bills will get to (hopefully) see Ed Oliver and rookie defensive tackle Deone Walker play side by side for the first time, they also lost defensive tackle T.J. Sanders for the foreseeable future. On Saturday, the team announced that they were placing Sanders on Injured Reserve (IR) and...

The Buffalo Bills placed rookie defensive tackle T.J. Sanders and safety Damar Hamlin on Injured Reserve (IR) ahead of their Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Those moves were made official late in the afternoon on Saturday, October 11, following a report from head coach Sean McDermott that it was the expected path for both defenders.

Hamlin appeared on the Bills’ injury report for Thursday, October 9, apparently dealing with a pectoral ailment of unknown severity. He did manage to participate in limited fashion on Thursday, but was downgraded to “DNP” for both sessions on Friday and Saturday. Hamlin...

It was bound to happen, the Buffalo Bills losing a game. To lose now is better than late in the season, but dropping a game to a division rival is never the preferred move. The Bills are now 4-1 after losing in the final minute of Week 5 against the New England Patriots.

Buffalo’s close loss resonates differently with people depending on how they see things. Sure, it’s encouraging that the defense wasn’t blown out, but the offense also couldn’t find a way to score more than 20 points against a 2-2 squad. Perhaps it’s a loss that serves as...

We’re approaching the point in the season where the Buffalo Bills, like every NFL team, are settling in to where they’ll be for the duration of the year. That’s not to say perfectly consistent, but well-enough known to have an idea of what to expect in each game. I say approaching because there are still teams that are all over the map.

Charts and Stats

I use these plus (+) and minus (-) charts a ton and usually after four or five games there’s a decent amount of meaning starting to shake up. For example, here’s the Bills’:...

A pressing narrative from fans about the Buffalo Bills’ Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots was
that Shawn Hochuli and his crew didn’t give the Buffalo Bills a fair shake. Ultimately, though, two things are true: that the Bills doomed their own chances with poor discipline and Shawn Hochuli is an acquired taste.

However, plenty of people on social media found a stat revealing that opponents of the Bills have only been flagged for a single offensive holding call all season long while Buffalo has 11 of them. But enough about the past. With officiating always a topic...

There’s good news and bad news coming out of One Bills Drive again today. To start with the good, three names on the daily injury report were upgraded to full participants on the second day of practice ahead of the Week 6 Monday Night Football in Atlanta. The bad, however, is that two players were downgraded to not participating at all.

The biggest news of the day may have been about linebacker Dorian Williams, who’s been dealing with a knee injury for two weeks now. Williams sat out last Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots and that spelled trouble...

The NFL trade deadline looms large, with November 4 just around the corner. In the past, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has leveraged the trade deadline to bolster the team’s in-season roster for a playoff push. Now more than ever, Beane may need to work the lines to address what’s clearly the team’s biggest defensive weakness — that being the defensive backfield.

Recall, One Bills Drive recognized the situation, bringing back fan-favorite cornerback Tre’Davious White. However, many had reservations about White starting games in 2025.

Buffalo’s decision makers likely knew this too, and focused there early in the 2025...
