Bills news: Deone Walker has taken a giant leap forward
Alongside outside linebacker Greg Rousseau, defensive tackle Deone Walker has been one of the most disruptive defensive forces through the first two weeks of the season for the Buffalo Bills, amassing one sack to go with nine quarterback pressures, four tackles and three batted down passes as the Bills have raced off to a 2-0 […]
NFL Power Rankings, Week 3: Buffalo Bills remain AFC favorites
Buffalo Rumblings’ weekly look at where the Buffalo Bills land in the latest batch of power rankings is back this time with an extensive group of list-making experts. No one is ever wrong when it comes to their power rankings, but very seldom are most people right. Except when it comes to favorable conversations about […]
Green Bay Packers vs. Atlanta Falcons, NFL Week 3 ‘TNF’ fan discussion
Week 3 of NFL action begins this evening with a primetime NFC matchup for Thursday Night Football on Prime. On the surface, there’s not a lot of intrigue here for Buffalo Bills fans, but we’ve brought back the featured open threads for readers because no one circles the football wagon like Buffalo Rumblers! Buffalo does […]
Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers Week 3 Thursday injury report
The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers will renew their AFL-roots rivalry on Sunday for a Week 3 showdown at Highmark Stadium. It’s a matchup that represents two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions, but a pair of rosters in the midst of some roster challenges. Will the Bills have two important wide receivers in […]
Buffalo Bills facing Justin Herbert who’s prime example of under-pressure play not being predictive
Josh Allen and Justin Herbert are similar in some ways and drastically different in others. They’re arguably the NFL’s two most physically intimidating quarterbacks. Allen is listed at 6’5” and 237 pounds. Herbert is 6’6” and 236 pounds on the Chargers official website. They both have rocket-launcher arms. But the number of differences between the […]
Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers Week 3 Wednesday injury report
Two games in for the Buffalo Bills, and they’re reasonably healthy as a team but not without a few dings on their roster. Now as they prepare to take on the Los Angeles Chargers at home in Week 3, all eyes will be on two veterans on each side of the ball who did not […]
Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers Week 3 Thursday injury report

Strange coincidence ties Buffalo Bills pass rusher Greg Rousseau to Chargers rookie Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor and Greg Rousseau are connected in a few ways. They both attended the University of Miami. They both were first-round picks. And they have the same birthday, April 5th. Earlier this week, I wrote about age-based draft analysis regarding Rousseau, and that now, at 26 years old, he’s starting to look like a […]
Buffalo Bills Week 3 rooting interests around the NFL
Buffalo did its part last week. Asking the rest of the NFL to cooperate apparently was a little too much. Still, the Bills head into Week 3 with two wins and a chance to add another against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. That’s the assignment that matters most. Everything else is us being helpful — whether the teams involved appreciate […]
Bills news: How Joe Brady is helping maximize Josh Allen
Through two weeks, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have looked borderline unstoppable on offense, hanging 36 points on the Houston Texans—widely considered to be the top defense in the NFL—in Week 1 before pilling up 41 points on the Detroit Lions in Week 2. Allen became the first player in league history to have […]
Buffalo Bills fans might be shocked to learn Los Angeles Chargers are elite in one key area
When diving into opponent previews each week, I find it helpful to scour the relative rankings across a variety of stats to see opponent strengths and weaknesses. The Los Angeles Chargers are 0 – 2 losing both games with the exact score of 14 – 26 which is a fun fact. They’ve had a slew […]
Bills Mafia weighs in on Buffalo’s defense through 2 games of 2026 NFL season
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. Through two games, it’s fair to say that the Buffalo Bills have leaned quite heavily on the offense while building an unblemished record. That doesn’t mean […]
Buffalo Bills do some shuffling along defensive line, add a familiar veteran
T.J. Sanders has not gotten much luck at the beginning of his second season with the Buffalo Bills. The former second-round pick injured his knee in practice ahead of Week 1’s game against the Texans and ultimately was inactive. That knee injury lingered into Week 2, and on the short week against the Lions, he […]
Josh Allen earns award for spectacular Week 2 performance
Josh Allen now has two more AFC Offensive Player of the Week awards than his jersey number. After five total touchdowns and 317 total yards in the 41-31 win over the Lions in Week 2, he earned the most prestigious individual weekly award in the conference: Doing my simple math here, as alluded to in […]
Updating Buffalo Bills early-down pass frequency entering Week 3 game vs. Chargers
This is an offensive tendency for the Buffalo Bills worth monitoring throughout the season. Early-down passing. A week ago, I presented the philosophy — and explained the thought behind it — mostly because the Bills came in sixth in the early-down (neutral situation) passing metric after all of Week 1’s action concluded. While just one […]
Bills-Chargers history: Championships and weirdness
The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers don’t see each other all that often anymore. There was a time, however, when they couldn’t seem to get away from each other. When the Chargers make their first trip to Orchard Park since 2020 on Sunday, it will be the 42nd meeting between two franchises whose history together stretches all the way back […]
Josh Allen wins FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week for second straight week
Josh Allen is two games into the 2026 season and already has two FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week awards. The Buffalo Bills quarterback won the Week 2 honor after leading Buffalo to a 41-31 victory over the Detroit Lions in the first game at the new Highmark Stadium. He also won the […]
Bills news: Assessing Buffalo’s 2-0 start
The Buffalo Bills are off to a 2-0 start for the sixth time in the last eight seasons, and Josh Allen and the offense are off to a dynamic start, averaging 38.5 points per game in wins over the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions. Despite the fast start, the Bills are not without their issues, […]
Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes laying the lumber as blockers for Buffalo Bills
Nowadays, if you’re writing about a Buffalo Bills tight end, it’s probably Dalton Kincaid. But this piece is dedicated to shedding light on the occasionally overlooked aspect of… blocking at the position. While Kincaid has improved in this area, his fellow tight end mates, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes, have blocking savants through two contests. […]
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 […]
