Later bye week
Always one thing you look right for when the schedule is released is when Buffalo’s bye week falls. Personally, players want it right in the middle of the season. With that in mind, the Bills have theirs Week 11. Not too bad, all things considered. It could be worse, like Week 4.
But here’s a little silver lining: If the Bills end up playing an extra game in the playoffs, or perhaps two, a Week 11 bye kind of turns into a mid-season bye, right? Let’s maybe not get too far ahead of ourselves, though. But for what it’s worth, Buffalo’s bye week last year was Week 6.
