‘Buffalo has played its last two games without two defensive starters. Cornerback Taron Johnson and defensive tackle Ed Oliver missed the Week 2 blowout win over the New York Jets. In Week 3, Johnson returned but linebacker Matt Milano was out as Oliver remained sidelined as Buffalo defeated the Miami Dolphins.’

Top games in stadium history: Rookie WR torches Jets in 255-yard showcase
‘The Bills lined up Butler, Lewis and Roland Hooks on the right side and they all took off downfield with the intention of Lewis trying to tip the ball to one of the other two. Instead, it was Jets’ cornerback Burgess Owens who got his hand up, but the ball still cooperated as it caromed into Butler’s hands at the Jets’ 30 and he raced to the end zone from there for one of the most improbable TDs ever.’
Can the Bills survive by allowing Josh Allen be a game manager?
‘The Buffalo Bills couldn’t seem to put away the woeful Miami Dolphins when opportunities appeared. And suddenly the game was tied 21-21 in the fourth quarter while the Bills punted twice in the third quarter and were prepared for third in the fourth.’
Josh Allen found a new way to win in Bills' TNF triumph over Dolphins
‘According to ESPN, Allen only attempted one pass more than 10 yards down the field, and that was incomplete. He’s never had a game without a completed pass that traveled 10 or more yards downfield.’

‘1979 — Bills 46, Jets 31 — Rookie receiver Jerry Butler exploded for 255 yards, a team record that stands to this day, and he caught four of Joe Ferguson’s five TD passes as Buffalo came back from down 24-12 for the win. Another standout rookie, nose tackle Fred Smerlas, returned a fumble for a touchdown, and tight end Joe Shipp scored the only touchdown of his NFL career. With attendance of 68,731 at Rich Stadium, this was the second straight high-scoring home game for the Bills after beating the Bengals 51-24 two weeks earlier. They would win just once more at home during the 7-9 season however.’
Bills fans saves man's life during game at Highmark Stadium
‘”He was going down and I just kind of got tunnel vision and held him in my hands,” Candice recounted. “And all of a sudden, the Bills Mafia just started recognizing that something was wrong, and they were like ‘Do you need help?’ And they started screaming and yelling for help way louder than the section had to be.”‘

Lance Lysowski: Bills are off to another 3-0 start, but we haven't seen their best yet
‘On paper, these Bills are playing like a Super Bowl contender. With the win Thursday night, Buffalo became the first team in NFL history to score 100-plus points, turn the ball over zero times, commit fewer than 15 penalties and average 150-plus rushing with 250-plus passing yards while winning each of the first three games in a season. Yet they haven’t had a complete performance in any game, either.’
The Editorial Board: Clarity and structure needed for Bills organization's CBA contributions
‘The Rev. Mark Blue, committee chair, made the case that the oversight group is trying to do its part and that there is a misconception that the team only supports certain organizations. Still, perception is often reality for those who feel their projects remain unfunded or underfunded, or that their concerns are not being met.’
The Bills are favored by how much? Buffalo opens with massive spread against struggling Saints
‘Buffalo, set to host the New Orleans Saints, opened as a 16.5-point favorite for the matchup at Highmark Stadium. This is the most that Buffalo has been favored by since they were listed as 17.5 point favorites against the Houston Texans in 2021. The Bills would go on to defeat the Davis Mills-led Texans 40-0.’
Bills' James Cook taken 'step up' after contract signing
‘”You can feel the explosiveness once he gets through the hole and the vision and going, but I think he’s in a really good spot,” Brady said. “I know sometimes that’s tough when a guy, it’s human nature sometimes when a guy, you get a contract and maybe you kind of get a little comfortable and that’s not in his DNA. If anything, I think he’s taken a step up in his game, and it’s pretty fun to see.”‘
Bills' 'huge spark' comes from unlikely source
‘But through three games in 2025? Yeah, Kincaid looks to be back to his old form, already totaling 151 yards and two touchdowns from 13 receptions, to have the same number of receiving touchdowns as he did for the entirety of last season.’

‘1974 — Dolphins 24, Bills 16 — After upsetting the Raiders in the home opener the previous Monday night, the Bills had a letdown against the repeat Super Bowl champions. O.J. Simpson’s early fumble led to Bob Griese’s 100th career touchdown pass, and the Dolphins never trailed after that. Miami had lost its opening game following the undefeated ’73 season, but got running back Mercury Morris and linebacker Nick Buoniconti back in the lineup for the trip to Rich Stadium, where attendance exceeded 80,000. Morris had 88 yards rushing and a touchdown that made it 21-3 in the fourth quarter. Ahmad Rashad recovered a fumble in the end zone for one of the Bills’ scores, and Joe Ferguson threw a late TD pass to J.D. Hill.’

Bills' Joe Brady aims to frustrate opponents; Bobby Babich reviews third-down defense
‘“I think you want to be an explosive offense, so you got to be able to push the ball on the field. I think that’s a given, but I think Josh is doing an elite job right now of, if it’s not there, checking it down, finding the open, getting our guys RAC and be able to convert first downs.”’
Bills Mailbag: When suspended players return, who will lose playing time?
‘Defensive end Javon Solomon played just nine snaps against the Dolphins, so he would be the first player who comes to mind who might struggle to crack the game day lineup when Hoecht and Ogunjobi return. The Bills had just eight defensive linemen active against the Dolphins, but I’d expect that number to bump up to at least nine when Oliver is healthy and Hoecht and Ogunjobi return.’
