The Bills were cookin’ in South Beach!

The Buffalo Bills’ 2024 season has been written. So let’s add some “illustrations!” If you’re new to Plays That Defined, this isn’t a highlight recap, but rather a cathartic retelling of the past season, chapter by chapter.

Don’t vote for your favorite play necessarily, vote for the one that best represents that game’s narrative. I’ll recap the game to refresh your memory, but don’t feel locked in by my narrative.

Chapter 2: Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins

The Bills had squeaked out a victory over the Arizona Cardinals to kick off...

Plus, which Bills will have cameos in Hallmark’s “Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story?”

Coming off an appearance in the AFC Championship — the closest the Buffalo Bills have come to making the Super Bowl in the Josh Allen era — the team has actively gone about improving its roster through free agency and the NFL draft.

But if we’ve learned anything about general manager Brandon Beane, he’s always kicking the tires on players who could help round out his roster. In today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks, we take a peek at which remaining free agents the Bills could bring...

Tremaine Edmunds and the Bears will welcome old friends to town in August.

The Buffalo Bills are expected to travel to the Windy City for a series of joint practices with the Chicago Bears ahead of their preseason game later this summer. Brad Biggs, who covers the Bears for The Chicago Tribune, shared the news on the heels of finalized 2025 NFL preseason schedules.

While the details for those practices are yet to be revealed, the Bills are set to face the Bears in Chicago on Sunday, August 17 in a preseason primetime matchup at 8 p.m. EDT. Buffalo won’t...

Plus, Dion Dawkins leads the charge for a new offensive lineman award.

All of the drama and intrigue around who will earn a roster spot with the Buffalo Bills will be magnified this summer, as Buffalo Bills training camp will be showcased on the NFL Films and HBO offseason production through the hit show, “Hard Knocks.”

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with thoughts on the news that the Bills will appear on “Hard Knocks” for the first time in franchise history.

Bills selected to appear on ‘Hard Knocks’

First, the Bills were selected to be featured as...

The Bills make another change to the receiver room

The Buffalo Bills made a small change to their roster at wide receiver, signing 28-year-old Kristian Wilkerson to a one-year contract earlier this week. In a corresponding move, the Bills also parted ways with Hal Presley III, who had recently signed as an undrafted rookie free agent following the NFL Draft.

Wilkerson, originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tennessee Titans in 2020, most recently played for the Las Vegas Raiders. He appeared in three games last season, catching three receptions for 18 yards and a touchdown. In total,...

With a new yet familiar head coach and offensive coordinator, the Patriots will try to close the gap on the Bills’ divisional stranglehold.

Well Buffalo Bills fans, we’ve arrived at peak hope season on the NFL calendar. The ebbs and flows of the offseason can be meaningful, especially during the main player acquisition phase that runs from March until the end of the April.

If a team hasn’t done anything in the first few hours of the free-agency negotiating window, the murmurs of disapproval begin in the dark corners of the internet. Conversely, if a team makes a widely approved...

Who are the Bills’ most underrated players heading into the 2025 season?

Before Jan. 26, 2025, the worst two-word profanity any Buffalo sports fan could ever imagine was, of course, “Wide Right.”

After Jan. 26, 2025, that was replaced by “Fourth Down.” Or “NFL Officiating,” perhaps.

Josh Allen’s allegedly missed fourth-down conversion run with 13:01 left in the Bills’ eventual 32-29 AFC Championship loss was obviously the latest agonizing story in this franchise’s oh-so-close Super Bowl shortfalls. Right up there with 13 seconds and the overtime problem.

The good news, such as it was, was that 2024 was supposed to...

After lobbying from Dion Dawkins, the NFL has given offensive linemen their own prestigious award

Offensive Linemen already shnow who to thank for getting an end-of-year award for their position group. After Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins called for a ‘Protector of the Year’ accolade earlier this year, the NFL made it official today and kept the award title that Dawkins conjured.

The award will be voted on by a panel of former and current NFL linemen, which gives it an extra layer of credibility, not relying on media members who may not understand the nuanced impact and skills...

Buffalo Bills training camp will get an inside look on HBO in 2025.

NFL Films and HBO will feature the Buffalo Bills this summer, with the team’s offseason regimen the focus of the latest training camp edition of “Hard Knocks.” That means St. John Fisher University will be all the buzz in July and August as production crews and cameras seek to capture every moment of action on the field and around campus.

The NFL has changed the rules for 2025, modifying the system by which they pick the ‘Hard Knocks’ teams. Previously, if a team made the playoffs the...

I guess we are just back to QB sneaks...

NFL owners voted on Wednesday to ban the tush push popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills. The charge was perhaps strangely led by Bills head coach Sean McDermott, who allowed Buffalo QB Josh Allen and his offense to run the play multiple times in the biggest moments of the past few seasons.

Why did the NFL ban the tush push?

Prior to Wednesday’s vote, the league’s competition committee (of which McDermott is a member) and the players’ health and safety committees voted to support the ban. Both expressed...

The Buffalo Bills have entered the NFL’s Global Markets Program for the first time.

Until this offseason, only 29 NFL teams had official Global Markets Program deals with the league to help grow the game and the team’s brand internationally. The Buffalo Bills were one of three teams without a country, but were approved for one this week at the NFL Owner’s Meetings.

The Bills have marketing rights in Canada now, unsurprisingly. They are joined by the Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, and Seattle Seahawks. Notably all of those cities except Arizona broadcast over the air directly...

The Bills will be at home for one game and on the road for two.

The Buffalo Bills’ 2025 NFL preseason schedule has been finalized, with the team announcing dates and times of their preseason games for the upcoming season. The team will be playing host to the New York Giants before heading on the road to face the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As with the Bills’ 2025 regular-season schedule, prepare yourself for a healthy dose of primetime preseason games. Buffalo’s August prep games will also includes a bit of a departure from prior summers, with the Bills...
