Buffalo Bills Week 6 game balls: Three standouts help Buffalo escape Las Vegas
“We are never going to apologize for winning. It wasn’t pretty but our goal was 2-0. Our best football has to be ahead of us.” Those were the words of Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady following Sunday’s 33-30 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. And he wasn’t wrong. The Bills walked away with another […]
Bills climb in Week 7 NFL Power Rankings, but which AFC contenders are for real?
Buffalo enters its bye week ranked third in the NFL across eight major outlets. With six AFC teams in the national top 10, which contenders are trending in the right direction, and which have reasons for concern? The Buffalo Bills may not be winning pretty, but they’re winning. And apparently, that’s enough to keep them […]
Buffalo Bills snap counts vs. Raiders: What Week 6 playing time reveals
The Buffalo Bills escaped Las Vegas with a 33-30 victory over the Raiders on Sunday, improving to 5-1 on the season. While the scoreboard tells one story, the snap counts reveal another, particularly when it comes to offensive personnel, defensive rotations, and the impact of injuries. Buffalo’s offense logged 68 snaps, while the defense was […]
Introducing DIP: A new NFL defensive metric that accounts for quarterback competition
What if we had a new way to determine defensive quality in the NFL that would adjust for opposing quarterback quality? It could provide a new answer on just how porous the Buffalo Bills defense really been through six games this season. Introducing: Defensive Impact on Passing (DIP) This new metric measures how every NFL […]
Bills news: Previewing potential trade targets
With the Buffalo Bills on their bye week, Brandon Beane, Joe Brady and the rest of the front office staff are using this time to review what has gone right, what has gone wrong, and how the team can improve if it wants to finally win the franchise’s first Super Bowl. The NFL’s trade deadline […]
NFL has made its decision on Sam Franklin Jr.’s suspension appeal
The Buffalo Bills aren’t playing this weekend, but they got a win. A win on an appeal of a suspension. The day after C.J. Garnder-Johnson’s one-game suspension from a spitting incident against the Raiders was upheld by the league, Sam Franklin Jr.‘s suspension has been overturned on appeal: Without clear visual evidence of the alleged […]
Dion Dawkins’ dramatic offseason weight loss ‘a gift and a curse’
Many fans of the Buffalo Bills have noticed a slimmed down version of Dion Dawkins this season. The Shnowman, as he likes to be called, dropped forty pounds this offseason and had to relearn how to play left tackle a little because of it, but he’s happy with the results. “With losing 42 pounds as […]
Bills news: The good, the bad, and the ugly at the bye week
The Buffalo Bills (5-1) are far from a perfect football team through the first six weeks of the 2026 NFL season. But they find themselves in first place in the AFC East and in second place in the AFC heading into their bye week, despite their flaws on defense—ranking 28th in points allowed, 31st in […]
NFL trade deadline: Buffalo Bills trade candidate – Tariq Woolen
How about cornerback for the Buffalo Bills at the trade deadline? If so, would Tariq Woolen move the needle? He’s the league’s largest outside cornerback at just over 6’4” and 208 pounds who signed a one-year deal in March with the now 2-4 Eagles. He’s most known for his six-interception rookie campaign, and he’s snagged […]
Buffalo Bills Week 7 rooting interests: Who to root for during the bye
After six weeks of the 2026 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills are sitting at 5-1 and holding down the AFC’s No. 2 seed. Not bad for a team some people were predicting would start the season 0-5. Now comes the bye week. Personally, I’m not a fan of having it this early, especially with the […]
New England Patriots at Chicago Bears, Week 7 ‘TNF’ fan discussion
Week 7 of NFL action gets underway this evening with a great interconference matchup between a pair of 4-2 teams in the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears. After a slow start to the season, the Patriots have played much-improved football since their Week 4 road win against the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, the Bears have […]
Rumblings staff writer Sara Larson featured on Tubi’s ‘Just One Before I Die’ docuseries on Bills Mafia
Those Rumblers who’ve been here for a while know — Sara Larson doesn’t miss a Buffalo Bills game. Yes, that’s right. Our very own staffer, Sara, has been to over 100-consecutive Bills games, home and away, and her story is highlighted in Episode 5 of Tubi’s “Just One Before I Die” docuseries that chronicles a […]
NFL has made its decision on C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s suspension appeal
The NFL has made its decision on C.J. Garnder-Johnson. The league has upheld its one-game suspension of the Buffalo Bills safety stemming from his spitting incident during Week 6’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Given Gardner-Johnson’s on-field history of instigation and a past in-game ejection, Nelson’s decision to uphold this suspension is not majorly […]
James Cook has improved efficiency from rushing title season, even against heavier boxes
Believe it or not, James Cook has had a better start to 2026 than a season ago when he led the NFL in rushing yards. And he’s done it despite defenses placing a relatively high priority on stopping him. Through six games in 2025, the Buffalo Bills feature back had rushed for 537 yards at […]
NFL trade deadline: Buffalo Bills trade candidate – Jessie Bates
Safety is the most obvious position the Buffalo Bills may look to add at the trade deadline. Therefore let’s highlight Falcons safety Jessie Bates, a highly-productive, wily veteran ballhawk who now sits on a 2-4 Falcons club with quarterback issues. This article is the third n the trade-candidate series I plan to sprinkle onto the […]
There’s more to the Sam Franklin Jr. spitting story than the suspension
With all the chatter surrounding the surprise suspension of Buffalo Bills special teams ace Sam Franklin Jr. for spitting at Las Vegas Raiders tackle DJ Glaze, I saw a lot of speculation on the video and the lack of well… anything that it showed at all. “How can they suspend him with no evidence?” Or […]
Bills news: Where is Buffalo in the NFL power rankings?
The Buffalo Bills have won five of their first six games and sit in sole possession of first place in the AFC East. The team is firmly entrenched in the No. 2 seed in the AFC, trailing only the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs in the conference. But while the Bills are 5-1, all but one […]
Bills news: Assessing defensive issues at the bye week
In the first season of the Joe Brady era, Josh Allen, James Cook and the Buffalo Bills once again feature one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL. But on the other side of the ball, there have been plenty of issues with Jim Leonhard’s defense, and it seems week after week, the Bills […]
NFL trade deadline: Buffalo Bills trade candidate – Brian Thomas Jr.
Could the Buffalo Bills actually address the receiver position before the NFL trade deadline? Right now it very much feels more likely that if a trade occurs, it’ll be for a defensive player, but you never know. Today, let’s highlight Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr., a young, naturally very gifted wideout who’s fallen on hard […]
Another Buffalo Bills defender suspended for spitting incident vs. Raiders
Apparently CJ Gardner-Johnson wasn’t the only Buffalo Bills defender to spit in the direction of a Las Vegas Raiders player in Week 6. Like Garnder-Johnson Buffalo’s special teams ace, Sam Franklin Jr., was suspended for one game for apparently the exact same reason: WIVB’s Josh Reed reported Franklin Jr. denies the allegation and will appeal […]
Drives that feature a sack are different for Josh Allen
Normally in the NFL, a sack is a death knell for an offensive drive. Not for a Josh Allen drive. Earlier this week, this tweet circulated from Thursday Night Football Prime Vision analyst Sam Schwartzstein that showed a staggering Allen statistic: The actual rates are 72.7% and 36.4% — there was a sack nullified by […]
Examining Buffalo Bills 3rd down defense woes
The Buffalo Bills haven’t had any difficulty whatsoever when it comes to scoring points. Which is wild, because us fans have seen them leave meat on the bone (a Cardinal WNY sin when it comes to wings). Yet at 5-1, they’ve won nailbiter after nailbiter thanks to a defense that doesn’t seem to particularly enjoy […]
Buffalo Bills fans grade the signing of CB Tre’Davious White
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bills fans and fans across the country. The Buffalo Bills’ bye week is upon us, and there’s plenty to discuss in the absence of a game this coming weekend. The Bills share a […]
Buffalo’s best things to do, see, and eat before heading to a Bills game
For Buffalo Bills fans, game day is about much more than four quarters of football. It’s about the people, the traditions, the food, and the unmistakable energy that takes over Western New York when the Bills are playing at home. Whether you’re making your first trip to Buffalo or returning for another season, there’s plenty […]
NFL trade deadline: Buffalo Bills trade candidate – Derwin James
As soon as we know it, the NFL trade deadline will be here, and the rumors will have been running rampant for weeks regarding who the Buffalo Bills might acquire via trade.
