Buffalo Bills elevate WR from practice squad, place DB on injured reserve
Three games in, and the Buffalo Bills have already utilized all of their allotted practice-squad elevations for wide receiver Greg Dortch. The veteran receiver — and Bills primary punt returner — has been called up for Sunday’s Week 3 game against the Chargers. As for Hancock, he was limited on Wednesday then didn’t practice the […]
Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers Week 3 Friday 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 need to make Ty Johnson serious part of run game to keep offense humming and help James Cook
Ty Johnson is probably going to make his 2026 debut in this new Buffalo Bills offense on Sunday against the Chargers, and I’m eager to see how much he’s utilized. The do-everything scatback has repeatedly been called the best third-down back in the NFL by Josh Allen during his time in Buffalo, yet he hardly […]
Chargers set to be vulnerable at safety vs. Buffalo Bills in Week 3
The Chargers have a clear weak spot on their defense ahead of Week 3’s trip to Orchard Park that the Buffalo Bills need to exploit early and often. Safety. OK, yes, technically, Derwin James is a safety. He’s not super exploitable. But in actuality, he’s an extra linebacker or slot defender. In fact, James has […]
Buffalo Bills milestones in reach against Los Angeles Chargers
Two weeks down, and we already need the eraser. Some of the numbers we have been watching since Week 1 are gone. James Cook caught Joe Cribbs — and passed him. Joe Brady has already done something no other Bills head coach has done. And Josh Allen keeps climbing a list that, quite frankly, has […]
Buffalo Bills rookie WR Skyler Bell is probably going to make his NFL debut in Week 3 vs. Chargers
The Buffalo Bills are experiencing some receiver injuries ahead of Week 3’s game against the Chargers, but we can’t forget the team drafted a wideout in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Skyler Bell has been a healthy scratch for the first two contests of the season after he worked his way back […]
Buffalo Bills trending up, trending down ahead of Chargers game in Week 3
The Bills are 2-0 with the league’s top offense by DVOA. Facing a desperate Los Angeles Chargers team will offer a unique Week 3 test. Justin Herbert has faced pressure on 45.5% of his dropbacks through two games, the second-highest rate in the league, and PFF has him at 28.7 when he’s under duress. The […]
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

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 […]

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, […]
