‘Nothing went the Bills’ offense’s way early. The teams moved into 11-on-11, and the offense still looked a bit shaky. Allen threw another interception that was negated by a defensive holding penalty, and he had a pass batted down at the line of scrimmage.’
How the Bills could benefit from the NFL’s baffling delay in Rashee Rice’s disciplinary case
‘While the NFL’s delay in meeting with Rice is baffling to say the least, the Buffalo Bills could ultimately benefit from the delay. If Rice is handed a 6-8 game suspension, he would not be eligible to suit up for the Chiefs’ regular season matchup against the Bills on Sunday, November 2.’

Bills get several key players back for joint practice with Bears
‘Most notably, both safeties Cole Bishop and Taylor Rapp were back on the field together.

Opinion: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills-Bears joint practice

Analysis: Safety is now the Bills' primary concern
