Top games in stadium history: A unlikely pick-six helps Bills humble a future HOF QB
‘We didn’t know it at the time because on opening day in 2003, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had only started four games against the Bills. True, he’d won all four, but no one had any indication of the misery to come over the next nearly two decades.’
Buffalo Bills wasted no time replacing punter who had the worst EPA metrics in NFL last weekend

Opinion | MLSE is just fine with Buffalo Bills’ shadow over Toronto. It’s not like the organization has much of a choice
‘The Bills are worth an estimated $5.95 billion (U.S.). The Argos, a 151-year-old brand with swell uniforms, must be worth something, but it’s surely a whole lot closer to five bucks. If someone wants to make an offer to owner Edward Rogers — who recently took majority rule of the conglomerate that owns the Maple Leafs, Raptors and Argos, among other assets — it’s safe to assume Rogers, never known as a CFL guy, would happily listen.’

Sean McDermott Explains Several Benefits From Sunday Night’s Bills-Ravens Thriller
‘The stakes, of course, are apparent. Given the strength of both teams—they’ve combined to get to three of the past five AFC title games (the Bengals account for the other two), only to be thwarted by Reid’s Chiefs—there’s a pretty decent chance the outcome will determine the location of a playoff game. Beyond just that, for everyone involved, there was the opportunity to set the tone for the 2025 season.’
