Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford has been chosen as the Week 13 NFLPA Community MVP following his efforts to help those in need within the Buffalo, NY community during the Thanksgiving holiday. It was Benford’s first Thanksgiving Celebration event, held at the Community Missions of Niagara Frontier in partnership with his 47 Hearts Foundation to provide a warm meal and winter essentials kits for 300 “unhoused individuals, food-insecure families and vulnerable neighbors served by Community Missions,” per the NFLPA news release.

The “winter kindness kit” included such items as “lip balm, a hat, gloves, hand warmers, body warmers and snack”...

The Buffalo Bills’ passing attack will look a bit different yet again when they take the field against the Steelers this Sunday.

Early on Black Friday, head coach Sean McDermott informed members of the media that Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins (concussion), right tackle Spencer Brown (right shoulder), linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow), and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (elbow, knee) had been ruled out for the team’s Week 13 road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the aftermath of that team report, One Bills Drive made a pair of roster moves ahead of Sunday’s clash.

Curtis Samuel has now been placed...

The Buffalo Bills hit the road to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, and head coach Sean McDermott revealed ahead of Friday’s practice session that the team will not have left tackle Dion Dawkins (concussion), right tackle Spencer Brown (right shoulder) in action a few hours south of Orchard Park, NY.

Despite the extra time to recover following Thursday Night Football, Allen will have to adapt to a new offensive normal for at least one weekend in Pittsburgh. Allen is set to play without both starting bookend tackles protecting him for the first time since Dawkins and Brown ascended...

At the start of the 2025 NFL season, many wondered just how good of a Black Friday matchup fans would get with the Chicago Bears on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. It turns out, a pretty darned good one is on tap this afternoon!

Both 8-3, and leading their divisions, this afternoon’s game pits two playoff-minded teams against one another in the City of Brotherly Love. If the season ended today, the Eagles would be the NFC’s two seed, while the Bears would enter the postseason as the three seed. There’s a lot at stake today for both teams....

Following a week where both the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers lost, this Sunday’s matchup at Acrisure Stadium should carry a playoff-like atmosphere. The Bills are looking up at the AFC East-leading New England Patriots, while the Steelers hold the lead in the AFC North still thanks to the Baltimore Ravens losing on Thanksgiving night.

With the news that quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to return in Week 13, the Bills will have to play smart defensive football if they hope to outlast a Steelers team looking to put some distance between them and the rest of their division rivals....

The Buffalo Bills (7-4) travel to face the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5) Sunday afternoon in a 4:25 p.m. EST battle of teams fighting for positioning in a crowded AFC playoff race.

Before this Week 13 clash, let’s revisit the series history, relive some of the more memorable matchups, break down those common connections, and go through the list of players who played for both teams. Hint: there are 45 players who saw action for both the Bills and Steelers.

Bills vs. Steelers series history

The Bills and Steelers have clashed 30 previous times, with Pittsburgh holding a 17-13 edge in...

The Buffalo Bills’ 23-19 defeat to the Houston Texans in Week 12 felt like a punch to the gut — it was a wake-up call to a 7-4 contender for their playoff aspirations. Quarterback Josh Allen endured a brutal eight-sack onslaught from Houston’s vaunted No. 1-ranked defense, which racked up 28 pressures and three turnovers, including two interceptions off Allen. The final drive died on a 4th & 6 incompletion, leaving Buffalo’s faithful stunned.

Yet amid the failures, a few glimpses of hope emerged, while glaring issues deserve scrutiny. Here’s my deep dive into the top three Heroes trending up,...

Your Thanksgiving NFL nightcap awaits, with an AFC North showdown in Maryland as the Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals. Week 13 marks the return of quarterback Joe Burrow, who’s been sidelined with turf toe since the injury occurred in Week 2.

Is it wise for a 3-8 Bengals team to trot out Burrow and his surgically repaired toe against a surging 6-5 Ravens squad? “Quoth the raven, nevermore.”

That’s ultimately up to head coach Zach Taylor to decide, but the Bengals have almost zero shot at playoff football in January. Baltimore, however, saw the return of quarterback Lamar Jackson...

There may be but one team Buffalo Bills fans despise more than the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys, and thankfully Bills Mafia won’t have to digest any of their Thanksgiving Day feast watching the New England Patriots. It’s impossible, but Bills fans would probably prefer if both teams lost this matchup, given each team’s direct ties to Buffalo’s playoff misery.

Would a tie suffice? No — the move here is actually to root for the 5-5-1 Cowboys to hand the 6-5 Chiefs another loss. That is, unless you want Kansas City closer to Buffalo and more likely to earn...

The NFL finally did it, moving the Detroit Lions’ annual Thanksgiving Day game back to begin at 1 p.m. EST. As they’ve done for generations, The Lions open up America’s football-loaded turkey-centric holiday by hosting the Green Bay Packers in what should be a fantastic NFC North slugfest.

At 7-4, Detroit has slipped a bit this season, but they’re still one of the premiere teams in the NFC. As for Green Bay, they’re 7-3-1, and a bit similar to the Buffalo Bills with a Jekyll & Hyde dual personality in 2025. There are no Bills-related rooting interests in this one....

Every Thanksgiving, the NFL features three matchups for the world to enjoy. Two things are always a given — that the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys always play on Thanksgiving, and that both teams do so as the home teams.

The third game is often a mystery that leaves fans in anticipation up until the annual NFL schedule reveal. Looking ahead to 2026, it’s possible that the Buffalo Bills could host league’s third game on Thanksgiving night.

The Bills are a popular team to showcase, but they will also play in their new stadium next season, and the NFL has...

It’s fair to say that Buffalo Bills fans would like to forget Week 12 even happened. Unfortunately, nothing went their way, but all hope is not lost. The Bills are still clinging to the AFC’s final playoff spot and don’t need any help to stay there.

Obviously, moving up would be ideal, but Buffalo will need a lot of help to reclaim the crown they’ve worn as AFC East Division Champions for the past five seasons. It won’t be easy, but it’s not impossible.

Here’s a look at how things stand before Week 13 kicks off with two games...
