Buffalo Rumblinks, 8/30: Previewing the AFC East
The Buffalo Bills have claimed the last five AFC East division titles. The expectation is that reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen and the Bills will once again cruise to another AFC East championship in 2025. The Bills have brought in new faces like defensive ends Michael Hoecht, Joey Bosa and rookie Landon Jackson, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi and rookie T.J. Sanders, and cornerbacks Tre’Davious White and Maxwell Hairston to improve the deficiencies that saw the team once again fall to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. Learn what general manager Brandon Beane had to say about the status of White and Hairst on the team’s injury list. Examine the three kickers the Bills brought in as insurance for Tyler Bass; how the Bills could bolster their safety group by looking to add a former member of the AFC East; a recap of where every Bill who was cut by the team landed since the roster deadline; and more.
With the start of the season a little more than a week away, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by previewing the state of the division and exploring why the Bills are the odds-on favorites to win their sixth straight division championship.
