The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills will continue their rivalry in Week 14 of the 2023 season at Arrowhead Stadium.
Buffalo’s offseason began with a surprising decision from defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier to take a leave of absence for the 2023 season. Head coach Sean McDermott assumed the role and will pull double duty. The Bills were able to re-sign starting safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde but lost Pro Bowl middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds.
The Bills also added offensive guard Conner McGovern and outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, both of whom are expected to start. Running back Damien Harris jumped from the AFC East rival New England Patriots to Buffalo and will look to get back on track after an injury-riddled 2022 season.
Dalton Kincaid was selected 25th overall by the Bills in the 2023 NFL Draft. He is projected to make an instant impact and could develop into one of the top tight ends in the league. In the second round Buffalo took O’Cyrus Torrence, who is battling with Ryan Bates for the starting right guard job.
The Bills have been considered a Super Bowl-caliber team for the last few years but, instead, they have experienced some serious playoff heartbreak. They were completely outmatched in the AFC Championship game by the Chiefs in 2020 and have lost in the divisional round each of the last two years. Now that the other AFC East teams have seemingly caught up with Buffalo talent-wise, the pressure is on for the Bills to get over the hump.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the Bills’ top players and their outlooks heading into the 2023 NFL season:
