The 2023 NFL Draft is less than two weeks away, and the Buffalo Bills find themselves in the advantageous position of having a relatively complete and deep roster. Despite the general quality of the roster, Buffalo does have a major hole at middle linebacker after the offseason departure of Tremaine Edmunds, and given the team’s lack of moves to address the position in free agency, it looks as tho...

The initial few waves of the 2023 NFL offseason are beyond us, with former free agents now comfortably settling in with their new teams. The first waves of free agency were rather eventful for the Buffalo Bills; while the team lost stalwart middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, it also made a few under-the-radar additions on both sides of the ball, potentially moving the needle a bit with the signin...

The 2023 NFL Free Agency ‘legal tampering’ period is officially underway, and teams across the league are wasting no time in making additions to their roster. The Buffalo Bills are one such team, reportedly reaching a three-year agreement with former Dallas Cowboys guard Connor McGovern, this in addition to re-structuring the deals of Nyheim Hine and Tim Settle and re-signing Sam Martin and Tyler...

Considered by many to be the formal kickoff of ‘draft season,’ the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine occurred this past weekend in Indianapolis. A number of draft-eligible prospects were able to raise their profile throughout the multi-day event thanks to strong outings in a number of key drills, while a few players left a bit to be desired out on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf. On this episode of the Cover 1...

With the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine scheduled to kick off this week in Indianapolis, football fans have their sights firmly set on the 2023 NFL Draft. This year’s draft should prove interesting for the Buffalo Bills, who, depending on their moves made in free agency, may have to fill a number of crucial snaps at a variety of positions via players selected throughout the three-day event. On this epi...

With Super Bowl LVII officially in the rearview, all NFL fans have officially turned their sights on the 2023 offseason. The impending spring will be a big one for the Buffalo Bills, a team coming off a 13-3 regular season but disappointing AFC Divisional Round exit. A number of Buffalo’s key contributors are set to become free agents, and this, combined with a disadvantageous salary cap situation...

With the Buffalo Bills’ 2022 season coming to a premature end, many fans have turned their attention to the 2023 NFL Draft. The much beloved ‘draft season’ officially kicked off last week in Mobile, AL at the 2023 Senior Bowl, an event in which a number of draft-eligible prospects were able to showcase their skillsets to scouts and analysts alike. Cover 1’s David Faux was in attendance at the even...

The Buffalo Bills’ 2022 season is over following a disappointing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Divisional Round. It was a heartbreaker for a team that has faced much adversity this season, its final 27-10 loss feeling like a disappointing and anticlimactic thud on what was supposed to be a triumphant campaign. On this episode of the Cover 1 Roundup, David Faux is joined by Ajay Cybulsk...

The Buffalo Bills are moving on to the AFC’s Divisional Round following a 34-31 Wild Card win over the Miami Dolphins. It was far from a flawless outing from Buffalo after a fast start, the team’s floundering offense and innate ability to get in its own way combining to keep the game close until late in the fourth quarter. The Bills were ultimately able to string together enough plays offensively...

The Buffalo Bills' Week 18 clash with the New England Patriots may go down as one of the most emotional football games of all time. Taking the field for the first time since Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest last Monday, Buffalo rode the emotional wave present in the stadium, with Nyheim Hines taking the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. The team did not take its foot off the pedal from there, ult...

The Buffalo Bills clinched their third consecutive AFC East title in their Week 16 win over the Chicago Bears. It wasn’t a necessarily pretty win for Buffalo - or at least not as pretty as the 35-13 scoreline would indicate - but a win, ultimately, is a win, and they all count the same. The Bills’ running game was able to find some success in the contest while the defense largely stood strong, san...

The Buffalo Bills further tightened their grip on the AFC East in Week 15, defeating the Miami Dolphins on the back of quarterback Josh Allen to improve to 11-3 on the season. It wasn’t smooth sailing throughout much of the contest for Buffalo, but a Tyler Bass field goal in the game’s dying moments was ultimately enough to push the team over the edge. Buffalo clinched a playoff berth with the vic...

Despite a largely underwhelming offensive performance, the Buffalo Bills were able to overcome the New York Jets on the back of their stout defense in Week 14, improving their record to 10-3 on the season and expanding their lead in the AFC East. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey took a step back as a play designer and caller as the weather played a part in preventing any of Buffalo’s playmakers fr...

It’s a good time to be a fan of the Buffalo Bills. Not only is the team coming off a 12-day stretch in which it won three games away from home (the last being a dominant victory over the long-hated New England Patriots), but events played out favorably around the league for Buffalo in Week 13. Losses from the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs pushed Buffalo to first place not only in the AFC E...

The Buffalo Bills effectively battled adversity inflicted by both themselves and Mother Nature in their Week 11 clash with the Cleveland Browns, defeating their lowly Lake Erie brethren by the score of 31-23. The game, which was moved to Detroit’s Ford Field due to a generational lake effect snow event impacting the western New York region, started slow for Buffalo, with the team struggling to get...

The Buffalo Bills are left searching for answers to unwanted questions following their stunning Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, a 33-30 overtime thriller. Buffalo led the contest throughout the majority of its duration, leading by as many as 17 points in the second half. Its late lead would prove to be the most paramount in what was many opportunities to win the game, but the team instead f...

The Buffalo Bills fell to 0-2 against AFC East opponents on the season in a Week 9 loss to the New York Jets. The team largely struggled despite a few bright spots, with Josh Allen’s struggles from the team’s Week 8 victory carrying over into this week’s loss. Buffalo’s injury-riddled defense struggled to stop the run while the offense failed to capitalize on numerous opportunities, a recipe that...

The Buffalo Bills were able to hold on and defeat the Green Bay Packers in a Week 8 primetime clash despite the former’s late efforts to shoot themselves in the foot. It was a tale of two halves for the Bills offensively, looking like the world-beater unit it's been for much of the recent past in the first half before struggling to get much of anything going in the second. Defensively, Buffalo str...

The Buffalo Bills’ Week 7 bye week has concluded, and the team now turns its attention to a Sunday Night Football Clash with the struggling Green Bay Packers. On this episode of the Cover 1 Roundup, host David Faux takes a look back on the first six games of Buffalo’s season, discussing his takeaways from the team’s initial slate of games before previewing the team’s upcoming matchup with the 3-4...

The Buffalo Bills, at least partially, removed the monkey off their back in their Week 6 contest, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead by the score of 24-20. Josh Allen led the way offensively, completing 27 of 40 passes for 329 yards and one score, while Von Miller delivered on the defensive side of the ball, taking Patrick Mahomes to the turf twice while also notching a crucial pressure...

After a nail-biting win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, the Buffalo Bills took care of business against another AFC North team in Week 5, dismantling the Pittsburgh Steelers by a score of 38-3. Buffalo’s offense was humming throughout the day, ultimately finishing the game with five touchdowns on the scoreboard and an average gain of 10.2 yards. The Bills’ injury-riddled defense was largely a...

A long, agonizing Sunday appeared to be in tow for fans of the Buffalo Bills as the team’s Week 4 clash with the Baltimore Ravens neared the end of the first half. Buffalo trailed 20-3 at one point in the second quarter, the game, to that point, defined by turnovers, miscues, and Lamar Jackson magic. The team was ultimately able to right the ship, scoring a touchdown before half. This score would...

Neither the football gods nor Mother Nature was on the side of the Buffalo Bills in their Week 3 contest with the Miami Dolphins. A litany of injuries combined with the unfamiliar heat of the Miami sun made for a tough outing for Buffalo, who had plenty of opportunities to win despite the circumstances. The team ultimately could not pull out the victory, however, falling to their rising divisional...
