Bills hope wide receiver’s crazy fourth quarter has set the stage for bigger things

MLSE defends partnership with Buffalo Bills as boost, not threat, to Toronto Argonauts

The Bills know the Jets will likely stick to their game plan and follow the blueprint the Ravens used to give Buffalo’s defense fits.’
