Bills roundtable: Under/Over 10.5? Biggest challenge? Surprise player?

‘I’m going 12-5, but I think 11-6 would be a very good season. A lot of things had to go right for the Bills to go 13-3, including going unbeaten in the division.

Shaped by his disciplined parents, fullback Reggie Gilliam carves out spot on Bills

‘So much of who Gilliam is, his mannerisms both conscious and subconscious, comes directly from his parents. He was raised in a military family. His dad graduated high school on a Friday, and he was at basic training on Monday. He rose to First Sergeant before he retired.
