DeWayne Carter making most of surprising opportunity for Buffalo Bills early in 2026
All signs pointed to former third-round pick DeWayne Carter being cut after the preseason, and now he’s actually playing quality football as a rotational defensive tackle in Jim Leonhard’s scheme. And it took two rather rare occurrences for the former Duke captain to be afforded the opportunity he’s been given in these first two games. […]
Joe Brady tapping into Josh Allen’s bazooka arm, long-ball tendency early in new Buffalo Bills offense
Likely the most obvious observation about the Buffalo Bills offense through two games is how Joe Brady is allowing Josh Allen to play freely. It’s led to 36 points against the Texans in Houston and 41 at home against the Lions. Allen has been sensational, and his phenomenal skill set as been on full display […]
Bills DT Deone Walker has leapt, not stepped, forward in 2026
I am a believer in precise and specific communication. If it takes a few more words to reduce or eliminate the opportunity for a misunderstanding, we should take it. And part of that belief comes with a specific affinity for communication structure. And in communication structure, it’s very important to draw a distinction between “I […]
Buffalo Bills clean up penalties in Week 2 vs. Detroit Lions
For those of you new to the site (and I hope there are many of you), here’s the gist; every week I review the penalties from the Bills game. We talk the rules, what was a big deal. What wasn’t. In Week 1, the Buffalo Bills seemed like they received a flag on just about […]
Greg Rousseau taking game to new heights early in 2026 season for Buffalo Bills
Greg Rousseau is becoming a huge win for age-related draft analysis. Even after sitting out his second season at the University of Miami due to COVID, the Buffalo Bills selected Rousseau with one of the final picks in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft just a few weeks after his 21st birthday. He […]
Jim Leonhard’s defense offers mixed bag of early returns
The Buffalo Bills surrendered over thirty points for the second straight game, allowing the Detroit Lions to score 31 in what was an entertaining 41-31 victory to open new Highmark Stadium in style. That 31-point result from the defense followed a similar outing from four days prior, as the Bills’ stop unit allowed 31 points […]
Buffalo Bills will face a Los Angeles Chargers team thin at TE in Week 3
The Buffalo Bills are getting ready to host the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday for a classic AFL matchup that should feature plenty of fireworks by quarterbacks Josh Allen and Justin Herbert. Both teams are dealing with injuries to key offensive starters, but Los Angeles that may have the hardest path to carve out to […]
Buffalo Bills off to an elite pace disrupting quarterbacks
Just to start off a candid note, nothing you’re about to read suggests that the Buffalo Bills’ defense doesn’t have room for improvement. It very obviously does, allowing 31 points in both of their first games. Now Week 1 is known for “lying” about a team’s identity, and Thursday Night Football is similarly wonky, but […]
Derwin James provides injury update before game against Buffalo Bills
The Los Angeles Chargers have started 0-2 after consecutive 26-14 losses to the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders, and in Week 2, their superstar safety Derwin James injured his hand. The six-time All-Pro updated his injury on Monday as the club begins preparations for the cross-country trip to take on the Buffalo Bills in […]
Buffalo Bills Week 2 game balls following 41-31 win over Detroit
The Buffalo Bills are 2-0 after defeating the Detroit Lions 41-31 in the inaugural regular-season game at the new Highmark Stadium. Buffalo’s offense delivered 41 points against Detroit, led by another nearly unstoppable performance from Josh Allen. James Cook controlled the game on the ground, while Greg Rousseau continued his dominant start to the season […]
Buffalo Bills can’t forget about this common tendency in NFL before Chargers game
The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers will enter this Week 3 contested headed in diametrically opposed directions, which can often spawn a rather silly assumption. That we are sure of something in the NFL, especially in September. Now, should the Bills have confidence going into this game? Yes. Plenty of it. And, I’ll never […]
Buffalo Bills pass rush has improved in one overlooked but key area
Despite clearly not playing particularly well through two weeks, there is one vital area in which the Buffalo Bills defense has improved from years past. Converting pressures to sacks. Through the vast majority of the Sean McDermott era, the Bills pass-rush unit was rarely one of the league’s better units actually sacking the quarterback. We […]
What Buffalo Bills’ snap counts against Detroit Lions reveal
The Buffalo Bills offense spent plenty of time on the field during their 41-31 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 2. Buffalo ran 74 offensive plays, compared with just 58 in its season-opening win over the Houston Texans. The Bills possessed the ball for 33:45, accumulated 34 first downs and produced touchdowns on six […]
Buffalo Bills at forefront of efficiency-boosting personnel grouping movement through two games
We already suspected the Buffalo Bills loved their tight end group, but when they kept four tight ends and five receivers on their initial 53-man roster after the preseason, we should have realized they planned on frequently using those bigger bodies this season. And it hasn’t just been the most common double tight-end look — […]
DJ Moore, Ed Oliver avoided serious injuries on Thursday night in Week 2
The Buffalo Bills got a huge scare in the first half of their 41-31 Thursday Night Football victory over the Lions in Week 2, when DJ Moore stayed down after diving for a throw from Josh Allen in the end zone. A few hours before that, Ed Oliver was shockingly on the inactive list after […]
Bills news: What we learned about Buffalo after win over Lions
Josh Allen threw for three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores as the Buffalo Bills opened the new Highmark Stadium by dismantling the Detroit Lions, 41-31 on Thursday Night Football. Allen has accounted for nine total touchdowns for a Bills offense that has scored 77 points through the first two weeks of the […]
Buffalo Bills records and milestones from Week 2 win over Detroit Lions
It didn’t take long for the Bills to start making history in their new home. The Buffalo Bills christened the new Highmark Stadium with a 41-31 win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night, moving to 2-0 in the process. Josh Allen accounted for five touchdowns, James Cook ran for 139 yards, and Buffalo scored touchdowns on five of its […]
First projection at a Dalton Kincaid extension with Buffalo Bills
Is it too early to start envisioning what a second contract for Dalton Kincaid could look like? Sure. Maybe a little bit. While he is in the fourth year of his rookie deal with the Buffalo Bills, and the club has already picked up his fifth-year option for 2027, we know Brandon Beane’s history of […]
Let’s workshop some nicknames for Deone Walker
Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Deone Walker has gone bananas to begin his second season in the NFL. The former fourth-round pick has been borderline unblockable in the first two games of the season, and his huge splash plays have come on monumentally impressive wins. He has a ridiculous nine quarterback pressures on 59 pass-rush snaps […]
Buffalo Bills Week 2 rooting interests around the NFL
Rooting interests are easy when it comes to the AFC East: Buffalo wins, everyone else loses. Done. Unfortunately, the rest of the NFL schedule requires a little more thought — and, this week, at least one rooting interest that might make Bills Mafia feel a little dirty. Buffalo gets the week started early, hosting the Detroit Lions […]
5 takeaways from Bills win over Lions in Week 2
Wheeeew — what a housewarming performance from the Buffalo Bills in their Week 2 victory over the Detroit Lions in the first regular-season contest inside the new Highmark Stadium. Such a glorious night in Orchard Park. These were my five biggest takeaways from Buffalo’s 41-31 victory. The new Highmark Stadium is VERY LOUD The text […]

DJ Moore injury: Bills WR avoids serious shoulder injury
Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore headed to the locker room with a shoulder injury Thursday night. He dove for a pass in the back of the end zone and immediately grabbed at the area. On Friday morning, Adam Schefter reported Moore isn’t expected to miss much if any time. That is a big sigh […]
Keon Coleman steps up for Bills following DJ Moore injury
Earlier this year, there was a lot of talk about the future of Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman. He was suspended a few times in 2025 for being late to team meetings, and even Bills owner Terry Pegula had less than flattering things to say about him. But new head coach Joe Brady and […]
Buffalo Bills OLB Greg Rousseau hunting QBs at a HOF pace
There was a time when Buffalo Bills edge rusher Greg Rousseau was able to hide a bit in the shadows of NFL’s trenches as a complete and steady 4-3 defensive end who often went about his business without a ton of outside fan fare. Drafted by the Bills 30th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, […]
