The Bills (3-0) look to remain unbeaten on the still young NFL season when they host the New Orleans Saints (0-3) Sunday. There are a lot of reasons behind Buffalo's continued success, but it's more than fair to say that turnover margin continues to be near the top of the list. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana break down what's become a historic part of this team's run, and take a look at some key factors looking ahead to Sunday.

The Bills certainly weren't perfect in their 31-21 victory over the Dolphins Thursday night, but in the game's biggest moments, they were the team that made the key plays to pull out the victory. Josh Allen had another efficient night, James Cook was a stud on the ground, and while the defense needs to clean up some things, it was there when it mattered most. Sal Maiorana has thoughts on how the Bills earned the victory which gives them a 3-0 record and firm control of the AFC East. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Bills look to improve to 3-0 Thursday night against an 0-2 Dolphins team that they have dominated during the Josh Allen-Sean McDermott era. There's plenty of reason to think that will continue, but the Bills are dealing with injuries to two of their best defensive players in Ed Oliver and Matt Milano.

James Cook ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Josh Allen bounced back from what appears to be a broken nose, and a Bills defense that got shredded in the come from behind win over Baltimore in the opener and down two key players, held the Jets out of the end zone until a late garbage time touchdown in a dominant 30-10 win over the Jets on Sunday. The Bills improve to 2-0 on the young season. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana were live with postgame reaction.

The final season opener at Highmark Stadium will certainly add to the rich history of that venue. The Bills defense made some crucial stops and forced a key fumble, and Josh Allen led a comeback where Buffalo scored 16 unanswered points in the final four minutes in a 41-40 win.

The Bills and Ravens are without question, two of the NFL's elite. What is more than notable though is what hasn't been accomplished. The Bills are still looking for a first Super Bowl title, and the Ravens for the first with quarterback Lamar Jackson at the helm. Buffalo edged Baltimore 27-25 in the divisional playoffs before losing to Kansas City in the AFC Championship, and now the teams are set to open 2025 and the final season at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.

When you have a conversation about Super Bowl contenders in the AFC, the Bills and Ravens are no doubt featured. It's a rematch of last year's divisional playoff that Buffalo won 27-25, in a game that Baltimore very much let get away because of turnovers and self inflicted miscues. It's a match-up of MVPs (present and former) in Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson at quarterback.

The scoreboard read 38-0 Bears. There was obviously much more to it considering Sean McDermott sat out an overwhelming majority of his starters coming off what appeared to be a productive joint practice with the Bears on Friday.

We all know the history. Cornerback Tre'Davious White was Sean McDermott's first draft pick as Bills head coach back in 2017. Despite tremendous talent, his first seven years in Buffalo were marred by ACL and Achilles injuries. White spent time with the Rams and Ravens after Buffalo made the decision to move on after 2023.

Yes it's May, but it adds to the list of concerns that surround his ability, or lack thereof to stay on the field.

As the 2024 season came to a close again short of the Super Bowl, there was an all too familiar theme: The Bills had come up short on defense. Buffalo looked to change that in the draft, with the first five picks and six of the first seven and nine overall on the defensive side of the ball. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have analysis.

Cornerback and defensive line, not necessarily in that order, were the biggest areas of need for the Buffalo Bills heading into the draft, and that's exactly where GM Brandon Beane went over the first three rounds. Buffalo selected cornerback Max Hairston with the 30th overall pick, traded up to get South Carolina defensive tackle TJ Sanders in the second round, and in the process added a third round pick which they used on Arkansas edge rusher Landon Jackson.

The NFL Draft begins Thursday night and the Bills will start the first round with the 30th pick. Will they stay put, will they trade up or trade back? Brandon Beane certainly has options and to help us break down how some of those options might play out, Sal welcomes CBS Sports draft analyst Chris Trapasso to the show. Chris does a great job evaluating college prospects, and he had plenty to offer as the Bills ponder defensive tackles, cornerbacks and edge rushers, both in the first round and then in the second.

The Bills have their roster fairly well stocked coming out of free agency, but there are obvious needs as they look toward the draft. They could certainly use an infusion of size and athleticism at defensive tackle, and they've yet to answer the all important question as to who will start at cornerback opposite Christian Benford. GM Brandon Beane is expected to try to answer both with the draft set for next week.

It's been a solid offseason for the Buffalo Bills. From multiple extensions to keep their own, to some key free agent additions on both sides of the ball, to a new deal for MVP quarterback Josh Allen. As the draft approaches, they still have some needs at defensive tackle and cornerback in particular. Former Bill Steve Tasker, arguably the greatest special teams player the game has ever seen, joined Adam and Sal has he was preparing for "One Bills Live" to give takes on all of it, as well as the NFL rule change to move touchbacks out to the 35 yard line.

The Bills continue with an impressive offseason. The latest development was the signing of top cornerback Christian Benford to a four year $76-million extension. That follows deals for WR Khalil Shakir, LB Terrel Bernard, and DE Greg Rousseau. Notably, there doesn't appear to be any progress toward a new deal for RB James Cook.

The Bills have have made some key free agent additions headlined by edge rusher Joey Bosa. They added receiver Joshua Palmer and have also tried to bolster the defensive line. With the NFL draft on the horizon, questions remain defensive tackle, and certainly at cornerback. There's also the lingering question about what to do with running back James Cook, which could very well mean nothing until the end of 2025. Adam Benigni have takes on all of it and more.

The Bills initially got off to a slow start in free agency, and then over the past couple of days have shifted things into high gear. That includes the signing of five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Joey Bosa to a one year deal. GM Brandon Beane has largely focused on upgrading the defensive line, they've brought back safety Damar Hamlin on a one year deal, and added receiver Joshua Palmer to the offense. All of that, on top of a new six year $330-million dollar contract for MVP Josh Allen, and extensions for key players like defensive end Greg Rousseau, linebacker Terrel Bernard, and receiver Khalil Shakir.

Back in 1997, the Bills were thinking about who might eventually replace Hall of Fame defensive end Bruce Smith. They drafted Marcellus Wiley in the second round out of Columbia that year with that possibility in mind. Wiley eventually did that in 2000 when Smith moved on to Washington. He wound up playing ten seasons in the NFL for the Bills, Chargers, Cowboys, and Jaguars. He was a player that provided answers on the field, and was never at a loss for words off of it. Not surprisingly, he went on to broadcasting success with ESPN and FS1 among other outlets. He joined Adam and Sal to reflect on his time in Buffalo, that included the infamous Music City Miracle, and offer some strong takes on what it's going to take to get this current edition of the Bills over the top and into the Super Bowl.

The NFL Scouting Combine is in full swing in Indianapolis with the Bills and others beginning the process of change and upgrade to a roster that again fell short of the Super Bowl this season. The AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs, and Eagles Super Bowl domination of Kansas City, again underscored the need to get bigger, heavier, and stronger on the defensive line. Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane both spoke to the media, and among the obvious themes, was the need to get more production out of recent top draft picks Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid.

There's no denying the fact the Bills overachieved in many ways in 2024. They very successfully transitioned the roster, absorbed the salary cap ramifications associated with that, and wound up in the AFC Championship game. Josh Allen reached a new level at the quarterback position. Having said all of that, the postseason run ended in an all too familiar way, against an all too familiar opponent. How close are the Bills to finally advancing past the Chiefs when it matters most? What changes do they need to make to get there? Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana share takes as they put a wrap on 2024. Follow Adam on Twitter/X: @adambenigni Watch Adam on Sports Talk Live Buffalo Monday nights at 7:00pm on WGRZ/Channel 2.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. For all the success the Bills enjoyed this year, the Chiefs remain the postseason nemesis. Kansas City beat Buffalo 32-29 in the AFC Championship game Sunday night, as they now advance to face the Philadelphia Eagles with a chance to make history in winning a third straight Super Bowl. The Bills in the meantime fall to 0-4 in the playoffs against Kansas City in the playoffs with Sean McDermott as head coach and Josh Allen at quarterback, with many of the storylines in those losses remaining the same.

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson were drafted on the same night back in 2018, and have evolved into two of the game's absolute elite that help define this generation at the position. The match-up between the two is the obvious headline heading into Sunday's divisional playoff between the Bills and Ravens. Having said that, the outcome will likely have more to do with how these rosters have been constructed. Former NFL quarterback Matt Simms, who was briefly with Buffalo in 2015, joined Adam and Sal for a game preview.

It seems so long ago, but the highlights have again surfaced this week of Baltimore's dominant 35-10 win over the Bills back in week four. So much has changed since then as they prepare for Sunday night's divisional playoff in Orchard Park. The Bills are much healthier on defense, and have evolved to a great degree on the offensive side. The Ravens present the challenge of dealing with the combo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry on offense, and have improved greatly on defense, especially in the secondary during the season. Former Bills offensive lineman Jerry Ostroski joined Adam and Sal to preview the match-up from a player perspective.

After falling behind on an early Denver touchdown, the Bills reeled off 31 unanswered points to beat the Broncos 31-7 in an AFC Wild Card match-up Sunday in Orchard Park. Josh Allen threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns, while James Cook rushed for 120 yards on 23 carries, showing the tremendous offensive balance that's led to so much success this season. The Bills defense limited rookie QB Bo Nix and Denver went just 2 of 9 on third down which has been a problem area for Buffalo this season. The Bills advance to a highly anticipated Divisional Round game as they host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens next week. Adam and Sal were live with postgame takes.

Simply put it's a game the Bills should win. MVP favorite Josh Allen and the high powered Bills offense at home where they were undefeated during the regular season, and opposite him a rookie in Denver's Bo Nix. Denver's defense however, brings an added layer of talent and interest. They posted a franchise record 63 sacks this season.

It's become a well known stat.
