How does double-dipping correlate to winning in the NFL?
It’s time to answer another question from a comment on my comprehensive study on end-of-half scoring. Yesterday, I wrote an article to answer the first question from a Rumbler on whether or not end-of-half scoring correlates to wins. Turns out it does. Teams that outscore their opponents in the final two minutes of the half […]
Bills news: Previewing the Patriots
When the Buffalo Bills (3-0) take on the New England Patriots (1-2) Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium, it will feature two vastly different offenses, as Josh Allen and the Bills boast the league’s highest scoring attack (33.7 points per game), while the Drake Maye and the Patriots are tied with the Miami Dolphins as the […]
NFL predictions: 3 bold takes for Bills-Patriots in Week 4
The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots renew their rivalry Sunday afternoon in a key Week 4 AFC East showdown. The Bills have an opportunity to improve to 4-0 while handing the Patriots another loss that further harms their chances of repeating as AFC Champions. Everyone knows well by now that the NFL is a […]
Bills injury report: Christian Benford, Ray Davis questionable vs. Patriots
Joe Brady spoke to media after the Buffalo Bills finished up their Friday practice. The first year head coach said that Christian Benford will officially be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. Brady’s statement is a little surprising since the cornerback left last week’s game early, was seen in a […]
Does scoring before the end of the half correlate to winning games?
Earlier this week, I published the results of a study I did regarding the massive NFL-wide philosophical shift in end-of-half aggressiveness, and now I have a follow-up to a question I got in the comments of that article. Thanks for bearing with me presenting all that data in article-form. It was a lot. I appreciate […]
5 New England Patriots to watch at the Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills host a New England Patriots team desperate to avoid a 1-3 start this week, as a loss would give the Bills a three-game lead in the AFC East standings plus a head-to-head tiebreaker. If that situation sounds relatively familiar, it’s because the Bills hosted a Los Angeles Chargers team last week that […]
Bills news: DT DeWayne Carter is living up to his potential in his third season
The Buffalo Bills were hoping their run defense would show significant improvements from last season, when Buffalo ranked 21st in rushing yards allowed per game (136.2) while allowing opposing offenses to average 5.1 yards per rush and score 24 touchdowns on the ground. So far through the first three weeks of the season, Buffalo’s run […]
5 Buffalo Bills to watch vs. the New England Patriots
The Buffalo Bills can take control over the AFC East Division this week with a win over the New England Patriots. If they earn a victory on Sunday, they’ll improve their record to 4-0, while the Patriots will drop to 1-3. Even if the Miami Dolphins manage to beat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, that […]
Keon Coleman is settling in nicely for Buffalo Bills in Year 3
One of the most talked about storylines this off-season for the Buffalo Bills was focused on former second round pick Keon Coleman. While there is no need to re-hash all of the drama that followed the Terry Pegula/Brandon Beane press conference, it is nice to see Coleman settling into his role with the Bills. Coleman […]
Buffalo Bills are about to have an abundance of defensive line depth
The strength of the Buffalo Bills defense through two games has been its play in the trenches and on the edge, and the team’s frontline is on the verge of becoming incredibly deep. Let’s not take anything away from the inside linebacker group — Dorian Williams and Terrel Bernard have played quality football. But Greg […]
Bills Week 4 rooting interests: Who Buffalo fans should root for
Three weeks down, and so far our rooting interests have been pretty easy to figure out. The Buffalo Bills should win. The rest of the AFC East should lose. Teams Buffalo has beaten should win, because strength of victory is our friend. Teams still waiting on the Bills’ schedule can win, too, because strength of schedule may eventually matter. And, when […]
DeWayne Carter emerging as one of NFL’s better run-stopping DTs
The DeWayne Carter emergence is so surprising, I can’t help myself but to write about the third-year pro again ahead of the Buffalo Bills matchup with the New England Patriots in Week 4. On September 22, I wrote about Carter making the most of his opportunity in the first two contests of the season. Then, […]
Buffalo Bills Record Book Watch: Josh Allen one TD from history
Three weeks into the season, the Buffalo Bills’ record book is already getting a little crowded. Josh Allen keeps running his way past some of the biggest names in NFL history. Greg Rousseau has apparently decided two sacks per game is a perfectly reasonable pace. And James Cook took one look at the absurd number we gave him in […]
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns, Week 4 ‘TNF’ fan discussion
Thursday Night Football is back, Rumblers! While there’s no Buffalo Bills game until Sunday, there is a hard-nosed AFC North divisional matchup to enjoy this evening. We’ve finally hit October on the world’s most popular calendar, and, with that, the hitting gets all the more intense the deeper into fall we go. Tonight, the Cleveland […]
Bills Thursday injury report adds new name
Today, there was plenty of good news for the Buffalo Bills. Everyone except Christian Benford was back to practice. But even better than that, every one of those players with the exception of one was out of the non-contact jersey today. Here’s what changed since yesterday: Here’s what didn’t change: Here’s what all that most likely means: Christian Benford won’t suit up on […]
Buffalo Bills vs. Patriots: Josh Allen rivalry history
There are a lot of places we could set the dial on the Time Capsule this week. The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots have been sharing the AFC East for decades, leaving us with more than enough games, moments, and grudges to fill this space several times over. New England holds an 80-52-1 advantage […]
Greg Rousseau named AFC Defensive Player of the Month after historic September for the Bills
The NFL calendar has officially flipped to October, but Greg Rousseau has one more piece of business to collect from September. Rousseau has been named AFC Defensive Player of the Month, the first monthly award of his NFL career and the first for a Buffalo Bills defensive player since Jordan Poyer earned the honor in […]
Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots; Movable object vs. stoppable force
After allowing 31 points in their first two games, the Buffalo Bills finally had a respectable outing on defense against the Los Angeles Chargers by allowing 6.9 points less than the league average of 22.9. That said, questions still abound regarding the Bills’ D because, well… it’s very well possible the Chargers just. kinda. suck. […]
Our first month with an app broke our commenting records
A month ago we announced the release of our new app, which you can find here or by searching SB Nation in your neighborhood app store. Quite a few of you have downloaded it over the past month and have been using it. The goal with this app was to make it easier to join […]
Buffalo Bills were tipping point in Drake Maye’s deterioration
Did the Buffalo Bills break Drake Maye last season? Of course I’m referencing after halftime in the second meeting between the Bills and Patriots in 2025, when Buffalo erased a 24-7 deficit to win 35-31 in Foxboro. Maye has been almost an entirely different quarterback after emerging from the locker room in that contest. In […]
NFL power rankings: Bills are No. 1, but nobody knows what to make of the Patriots
Three weeks into the 2026 NFL season, there seems to be a growing consensus about the Buffalo Bills. The New England Patriots? Not so much. With Week 3 officially in the books, I compared the latest NFL power rankings from ESPN, NFL. com, CBS Sports, USA Today and Sports Illustrated. The results couldn’t paint much […]
Buffalo Bills broadcast map for Week 4 game against New England Patriots
For the second week in a row, the Buffalo Bills will host a 1pm game in the new Highmark Stadium, and now we know a large portion of the country will see Joe Brady’s club against the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon in the early window on CBS. Here’s the Week 4 early-window coverage […]
Bills vs. Patriots Week 4 injury report: Josh Allen clear
Josh Allen. Christian Benford. DJ Moore. Even Deone Walker needed some additional taping. Sunday gave us plenty of reasons to worry about the next play, the next game, and the next month. But the Buffalo Bills walked — although some definitely limped — off the field with what might be only one long-term casualty. Since then, we’ve been anxiously waiting for the […]
Jessica Pegula hints at wanting to help with Buffalo Bills ownership
Right now Jessica Pegula is one of the best tennis players in the world — could acting owner of the Buffalo Bills be in her future? Since her parents, Terry and Kim Pegula, bought the team in 2014, Jessica has climbed the tennis world rankings all the way to No. 3 — which is her […]
Will the Buffalo Bills defeat the New England Patriots in Week 4?
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 are off to a hot start under the direction of new head coach Joe Brady. At 3-0 and in first place in the […]
