6 reasons to believe the Bills are back on the NFL map
‘”I think the Bills are back on the map,” ESPN’s Field Yates said. “First of all, it’s a wins and losses-record league and they made major strides last year. I try my best to understand the plans of every NFL team, understanding that plans change. The Bills are one of the teams that the plan’s been obvious for about three years now, and it shouldn’t change going forward. It’s a coaching staff and a personnel staff that work in great concert. There is an identity for the team right now, a hallmark defense with an ascending offense and a young quarterback. So, the Bills are definitely on the map.

And then Tommy Sweeney, a young player and a couple other guys in there.”‘
