Buffalo Bills playoff odds & Week 15 NFL power rankings

The one where Josh Allen broke more records while doing Josh Allen things.

It’s time once again for us to walk the aggregate path that is the Buffalo Rumblings’ NFL power rankings roundup. In getting this to you far later than preferred, I’ll dispense with a ton of the free jazz build-up and get down to business. I do love a good build in so much as it helps to more meaningfully engage you, our readers, with one another. But… time’s a wastin’!

It’s fair to say that Week 15 is going to be huge in terms of postgame narratives....

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and wife Hailee Steinfeld are expecting

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and wife Hailee Steinfeld are expecting

When Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actress/singer Hailee Steinfeld got married in Santa Barbara, CA back on May 31 of this year, they had only been engaged for six months. The old adage of “when you know, you know” certainly rang true for what some fans now refer to as the “King and Queen” of Buffalo.

Steinfeld has been fairly forthcoming about her relationship with Allen, especially in the Beau Society newsletter, a platform she launched back in August of 2024 to help engage her readers and keep fans up to date with her personal and professional life. Recently,...

Buffalo Bills may be without CB Christian Benford vs New England Patriots

Buffalo Bills may be without CB Christian Benford vs New England Patriots

The Buffalo Bills may take the field in Foxborough, MA without their best defensive playmaker from the last two weeks. Cornerback Christian Benford, who had a game-changing interception returned for a touchdown last week after a scoop-and-score the week before, did not practice on Friday.

Head coach Sean McDermott said in his regular Friday morning media session that Benford’s toe injury happened in practice, but that was as much information as he was willing to give. He did confirm that the fourth-year corner would not be participating in the Bills’ final practice before they hit the road to take on...

Buffalo Bills must play smart, mistake-free against New England Patriots

Buffalo Bills must play smart, mistake-free against New England Patriots

The Buffalo Bills face off against the New England Patriots this weekend, and this game could decide the AFC East division champ. With a victory, New England will clinch their first division title since the 2019 season, which would simultaneously break a six-year streak of division titles for the Bills, who have won it every season since.

Given that the Patriots beat Buffalo earlier this season, winning 23-20 in primetime all the way back in October, the tiebreaker goes to New England at the moment. The Bills have just one divisional game remaining after this one, the regular-season finale against...

What do Drake Maye & Stefon Diggs have as an encore for Buffalo Bills?

What do Drake Maye & Stefon Diggs have as an encore for Buffalo Bills?

The New England Patriots are 11-2 and in first place in the AFC East. The Buffalo Bills are 9-4 and in second place in the AFC East. If New England beats Buffalo on Sunday, they clinch the AFC East Division title. If the Bills beat the Patriots, they delay New England’s ability to clinch, keeping the door ajar ever so slightly for a sixth-straight AFC East title to remain in Orchard Park, NY.

The breakdown above might be simplistic, but it’s also true. A three-turnover performance in October that dropped the Bills to 4-1 and pushed New England to 3-2...

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons Week 15 ‘TNF’ fan discussion

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons Week 15 ‘TNF’ fan discussion

Week 15 of NFL action begins tonight, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Atlanta Falcons for an NFC South battle bathed in the lights of Thursday Night Football. At 7-6, the Buccaneers really need a win to keep their lead over the also 7-6 Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile the 4-9 Falcons have since turned things over to veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in the last month following a season-ending injury to quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

Tonight’s game doesn’t carry the same glitz it appeared to hold early in the season, thanks mostly to Atlanta’s woes. That matters not, as every NFL...

Buffalo Bills CB Christian Benford add to Thursday’s injury report

Buffalo Bills CB Christian Benford add to Thursday’s injury report

We knew a clean injury report was too good to be true. On the second day of practice ahead of their Week 15 showdown with the New England Patriots, the Buffalo Bills had a new injury to report.

Christian Benford is now listed as limited with a toe injury. Maybe it’s a hangnail. Maybe it’s turf toe. Hopefully it’s not of the needs-surgery variety – aka Joe Burrow’s season-deterring injury. Benford, who has scored touchdowns, recorded two interceptions, and has a fumble recovery over the past 12 days, is critical to the Bills’ game plan on Sunday.

A limited designation...

Bills news: Another flawless game, another weekly honor for Josh Allen

Bills news: Another flawless game, another weekly honor for Josh Allen

During Sunday’s snowy Week 14 home game against the Cincinnati Bengals, reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen put the Buffalo Bills on his back and — with some help from two timely interceptions — carried the Bills to a win in a game they needed to have to keep pace in a crowded AFC playoff picture.

Allen posted his 11th career game with three-plus passing touchdowns and at least one rushing touchdown, which is the most in the storied history of the NFL, as Buffalo stormed past Cincinnati 39-34 to improve to 9-4 on the year.

For his Superman-like efforts, today’s...

Buffalo Bills can still win the AFC East in 2025

At the onset of the 2025 NFL season it seemed like a safe bet that the Buffalo Bills would once again be crowned the AFC East Champions. Whether it’s the ascendancy of a new elite talent or lightning in a bottle remains to be seen, but the New England Patriots and quarterback Drake Maye have won 10 straight in a run that for some time looked like it would leave the Bills in the dust. Now with four games remaining in the season, there’s a very simple (and not too impossible) path for Buffalo to make their return as the...

Buffalo Bills open Week 15 with a mostly clean injury report

The Buffalo Bills opened Week15 with the best-looking injury report we’ve seen since September. Not only are there only seven names on Wednesday’s list, but the only non-participant was absent for a personal reason rather than an actual injury.

While the latest practice was officially listed as a walkthrough, teams complete their injury reports as an estimation of what they would expect should they have held a full practice.

Today’s report indicates that right tackle Spencer Brown might be correct when he said he expects to play this weekend against the New England Patriots. Brown has been sidelined for the...

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

In a career full of accolades, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is no stranger to winning awards. This week, he added to his proverbial trophy case, winning AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his performance in Buffalo’s 39-34 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14.

Allen completed 22-of-28 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns, two of which came on fourth-down plays, against the Bengals. His first touchdown pass was an absurd 11-yard strike to wide receiver Khalil Shakir. Facing fourth down and a 14-3 deficit, Allen extended the play, rolled to his right, and zipped a...
