You’re probably all on top of the latest news surrounding the Buffalo Bills and we hope Bills Wire helped you get there. But let us keep you up to date with the Bills news, just outside the Bills’ realm.
The upcoming 2020 NFL season has many thinking the Bills are the favorite in the AFC East. But Buffalo isn’t just going to stroll into that title. The Dolphins, Jets, and of course the Patriots, will all have something to say about that.
So let’s stay on top of some of the latest headlines surrounding the Bills’ divisional foes now. Here are 11 news stories from the other three AFC East teams from the last week right here:
New York Jets
Le’Veon Bell promises ‘the best year of my career’ in 2020
In 2019, Jets running back Le’Veon Bell had a poor season, much like quarterback Sam Darnold and the rest of their offense. Bell only rushed for 789 yards, three touchdowns and averaged 3.2 yards per carry in his first season with New York. But the running back has now spoken out on the season that was and projected forward on the season that will be.
Bell, 28, promised 2020 will be much, much better.
“I’ll be so much better, I didn’t give nearly enough… I PROMISE YOU, long as I’m healthy, this will be the best year of my career… & it won’t even be close,” Bell said on Instagram via Jets Wire.
Much of the problems on the Jets offense had to do with the play in the trenches last season. Conor McDermott, a former Bills offensive lineman who spent the bulk of his career in Buffalo as an inactive player on game day, actually was a consistent starter at the end of the 2019 for Gang Green because of injury and poor play. This recent offseason the Jets made an honest effort in free agency and the draft to improve play in the trenches for their offensive playmakers.
But the Bills defense will have something to say about the “best year” of Bell’s career at least twice.
