Better get used to taking some mid-day naps to stay up a bit later, too.

With that, here are nine takeaways from the Bills’ 2020 schedule:

Welcome to primetime

The Bills finally got their respect from the big networks. Buffalo will be playing four times on primetime this upcoming season. The first comes in Week 6 in a tough one: A short week on Thursday with the Chiefs coming to town.

Then three of Buffalo’s final five games are on primetime. After the champs, the NFC champion 49ers will host the Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 13. Week 14 then is another repeat primetime game from last season, as the Steelers visit the Bills on Sunday Night Football. In Week 16, it’ll be one more as the Patriots invite the Bills to town, once again on Monday Night Football.

Having four marks the first time since 1996 the Bills have had that many, which is a single-season high for the team. In Week 15, the Bills play a “TBD” game against the Broncos as well. Perhaps another primetime-type game awaits then?
