Buffalo Bills 2019 NFL outlook: Schedule, players to watch & more

The Buffalo Bills put up six wins last season and really could only go up from here.

The Bills added two wide receivers in John Brown and Cole Beasley in the offseason to give second-year quarterback Josh Allen some extra targets.

Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon also join the Bills’ backfield. The team made the surprise move of cutting LeSean McCoy before the start of the season. McCoy signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Buffalo also drafted Ed Oliver to serve on the same defensive line as Jerry Hughes and Star Loutulelei.

A case could be made that Buffalo is going to be a tougher game on opponents’ schedules than they have been in recent years. The team is just one season removed from a playoff appearance and could be in a position to shock some teams when the season gets underway.

Read below for more about the Bills heading into the 2019 season.
