Well folks, it took a lot longer than normal to crown a play that defines the previous season than usual. It’s mostly due to me being forgetful. That said, if I remember to do a Plays That Defined the 2025 Buffalo Bills’ season here in a few short months, I can’t rightly do so without crowning of this one.

Perhaps it’s a bit of a spoiler, but the timing of my forgetfulness kind of worked out. With a little further ado, here’s the play you all voted to represent the 2024 season.

Brief Recap

We had an unusual...

It’s that time of year again, Bills fans are packing their flip-flops, folding tables, and Zubaz shorts for one of the most anticipated weekends on the schedule: Buffalo Bills versus Miami Dolphins in South Beach. Whether you’re flying in early or not there’s no shortage of events lined up for the Mafia to take over South Florida.

Here’s your full rundown of what’s happening all weekend long.

The Buffalo Bills (6-2) travel to South Beach to take on the Miami Dolphins (2-7) Sunday afternoon in Week 10, and the Bills appear to be getting a little healthier heading into this AFC East showdown.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining which key players returned to the practice field on Thursday, and which key defensive starter remained sidelined with a potentially pesky injury.

Bills getting healthier heading into Dolphins clash

The good news for the Bills on the injury front? Pro Bowl running back James Cook III (ankle) and defensive end Joey Bosa (wrist) were...

The Buffalo Bills’ training room must have a revolving door. Once again, the second day of practice for the week saw some players improve on their roads to recovery while others moved in the opposite direction. The Bills will play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, but there are still so many questions as to who, besides quarterback Josh Allen, will play.

Good news for the Bills is that running back James Cook III was upgraded to a limited participant during Thursday’s practice. Cook is dealing with an ankle injury he acquired in the Week 9 win over the Kansas City...

Well that was a fun one. Week 9 went (mostly) the Buffalo Bills’ way on the out-of-town scoreboard. The Bills got the big win over the Kansas City Chiefs to both stay in the playoff picture and pick up the tiebreaker over the AFC’s perennial champions.

Elsewhere, The AFC’s one seed, the Indianapolis Colts, now have the same number of losses as the Bills and quarterback Joe Flacco couldn’t get the Cincinnati Bengals past the Chicago Bears, lessening the chance they’ll rise from the ashes late in the season if Joe Burrow returns in December. Unfortunately, the New England Patriots...

The Buffalo Bills hit the road for Week 10, headed to often-sunny South Beach for an AFC East divisional rematch with the Miami Dolphins. The Bills are back riding high, now 6-2 after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. Buffalo’s relentless pass rush stymied and stressed quarterback Patrick Mahomes, in what may be the best overall defensive effort against...

The Buffalo Bills’ defensive line had their most productive game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. But that effort came at a cost. Injuries continue to mount across the Buffalo’s defensive line, potentially leaving the group a bit thin on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

The biggest blow to the group came when defensive end Michael Hoecht tore his Achilles while playing just his second game of the season. Hoecht had certainly provided a spark to the Bills’ defense, with impressive showings in wins over the Carolina Panthers and Chiefs.

Things went from bad to...

The Buffalo Bills’ Week 9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was a big deal, despite what Chiefs Kingdom and smarmy talking heads will say to the contrary. Sure, the Bills have yet to win a postseason game against Kansas City, but what unfolded last Sunday may have major implications for the 2025 NFL playoffs.

It’s officially true that a lot of folks writing this material don’t believe that Buffalo has what it takes to beat the Chiefs in January. A fair amount spent their entire blurb talking about it, essentially or directly claiming that the Week 9 win won’t...

The Buffalo Bills signed defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis to their 53-man roster on Wednesday, November 5. The team had placed defensive end Michael Hoecht on Injured Reserve (IR) due to a torn Achilles tendon, thereby opening a roster spot for Mathis.

Mathis, 27, was a second-round pick of the Washington Commanders in the 2022 NFL Draft. He spent three years in the Nation’s Capital, totaling 25 tackles, two tackles for loss, and a pass knockdown in 23 games. He signed with Buffalo’s practice squad on September 10 after having spent the offseason with the New York Jets.

Mathis was elevated...

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Cole Bishop, the Bills’ second-year safety who had the best game of his NFL career against Buffalo’s bete noire — Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Sunday’s matchup between the Bills and the Chiefs was among the Games of the Year as it is in most regular seasons, and the 28-21 result, which had Patrick Mahomes hurling a possible tie-making pass into the end zone with...

The NFL trade deadline came and went without the Buffalo Bills adding any reinforcements for the stretch run of a season centered around Super Bowl aspirations.

While general manager Brandon Beane has built a reputation as a wheeler and dealer, Tuesday marked the first NFL trade deadline since 2021 that Big Baller Beane didn’t go out and acquire any players to solidify the Bills’ roster needs.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining how Beane, by standing pat at the deadline, feels confident that the Bills have enough talent (as their roster is currently constructed) to win the...

For the Buffalo Bills in 2025, it’s season of an NFL trade deadline that wasn’t. The more one dives into Why it’s okay Buffalo stayed put

Going into the season many fans were upset at the lack of additional resources poured into Buffalo’s wide receiver core, and through eight games those fans seem justified. The team’s leading receiver in yards and touchdowns is tight end Dalton Kincaid, and he’s currently on pace for 998 yards having not played in all eight of the team’s games.

Some fans were also miffed that the team was reluctant to upgrade the safety room...
