Buffalo Bills FB Reggie Gilliam significant snub from 2026 NFL Pro Bowl

Buffalo Bills FB Reggie Gilliam significant snub from 2026 NFL Pro Bowl

The Buffalo Bills announced that quarterback Josh Allen, running back James Cook III, and left tackle Dion Dawkins were all selected to the 2026 NFL Pro Bowl Games this season. However, it was a name not announced, which should raise some eyebrows: fullback Reggie Gilliam. Instead of Gilliam being named to the roster, it was Baltimore Ravens fullback Patrick Ricard, who always seems to get the nod no matter what kind of season he puts together.

This isn’t meant as disrespect to Ricard, as he is an amazing player, but there was no reason for voters to ignore giving Gilliam...

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, other vets DNP Tuesday, listed “day-to-day”

The Buffalo Bills have a lengthy injury list to manage during practices in the lead-up to their Week 17 home game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Yet before you jump to conclusions, understand that Tuesday’s practice session was a walk-through. As such, all of the team participated, but One Bills Drive is required to list injury designations as they would appear for a full/contact practice.

The news also isn’t entirely unexpected. Head coach Sean McDermott revealed ahead of Monday’s practice session that quarterback Josh Allen would be considered day-to-day with a right foot injury suffered just before halftime in Week 16...

Bills Mafia pushed Huntington Bank Field past capacity in Week 16

Fans of the Buffalo Bills have gained a reputation for traveling well, and when it comes to nearby Cleveland, OH it stands to reason that would be especially true when facing the Cleveland Browns on their home turf. This season, my sister suggested we make the trek. Perhaps you saw her in her Christmas Tree costume in the waning moments of the fourth quarter or during Chris Berman’s highlights during halftime of Monday Night Football.

While there, Browns fans around us couldn’t stop talking about the amount of “blue” in the stands. One fan pointed to a section of the...

Buffalo Bills’ offense played Cleveland Browns to a tie in Week 16

Heading into the game, any objective analysis had the Buffalo Bills as a clear favorite over the Cleveland Browns. We all know the phrase “any given Sunday” has some validity, but we also know that upsets are called that for a reason.

The Bills traveled slightly West to take on the Browns, and were really close to an upset. What was the reason? At the end of the day, Buffalo’s offense simply didn’t outperform that of their opponents.


Literally, the offenses played to a tie

The headline and heading aren’t clickbait in this case. The Bills’ and Cleveland...

Buffalo Bills DE Greg Rousseau helped power win vs. Cleveland Browns

The Buffalo Bills were a big road favorite on Sunday over the Cleveland Browns, and when they had the football with less than two minutes to go in the first half, a 10-point lead, and a double-dip opportunity in front of them, I felt like a blowout was coming. However, neither of Buffalo’s possessions around either side of halftime amounted to points, and the Bills allowed a three-win Browns team to hang around, making a 23-20 victory something much more uncomfortable than it could have been.

The 2025 vintage of the Buffalo Bills has been a roller coaster ride of...

Buffalo Bills had obvious but minor flags vs. Cleveland Browns

The Buffalo Bills squeaked out a win over the lowly Cleveland Browns, with mistakes marring the matchup. Some of those mistakes came in the form of flags but for these gaffes there wasn’t much impact on the game, which is good news for Buffalo. They couldn’t really afford anything more going wrong.

They also did me the favor of making things really easy this week for analysis, so that’s cool too. Let’s take a look!

Quarterback Josh Allen Leads Bills Pro Bowl Selections

Quarterback Josh Allen Leads Bills Pro Bowl Selections

The National Football League announced its Pro Bowl rosters on Tuesday morning, and it was a nice Christmas present for three players on the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Josh Allen was selected along with running back James Cook III and left tackle Dion Dawkins.

Allen usually elects to golf instead of attending the Pro Bowl due to his own reasons, but this is the fourth time he has been selected in his career. His four selections put him in solid company, as Jack Kemp (6) and Jim Kelly (5) are the other Bills QBs to be selected at least four times....

Buffalo Bills at Cleveland Browns Week 16 snap counts

Happy Victory Monday! The Buffalo Bills defeated the Cleveland Browns, 23-20, on Sunday afternoon to increase their record to 11-4. It wasn’t pretty, but good teams find ways to win, and Buffalo finds itself with its sixth-consecutive 11-game win season.

Entering Week 16, Buffalo had to scramble to find a replacement kicker for Matt Prater, who suffered a quad injury that forced him to the sideline, with Michael Badgley receiving the spot start. Linebacker Terrel Bernard returned after a four-game absence, as well as wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. after a short stint on Injured Reserve. To make room for...

Buffalo Bills vs Philadelphia Eagles NFL Week 17 odds, spread, betting info

The Buffalo Bills are now 11-4, and they still have a slim chance at reclaiming the lead in the AFC East with just two weeks to play in the 2025 NFL regular season. It hasn’t always looked pretty, Buffalo has seldom made things easy, and there remain plenty of questions about the team’s group of wide receivers and a run defense that doesn’t get the job done more often than is preferred.

Still, in a season where so many of the usual powerhouse clubs are wilting, the Bills keep winning despite their flaws. What does the mean for Buffalo? We’ll...
