The #Bills’ 31st-ranked run defense is facing the NFL’s most efficient ground game which is obviously not ideal. Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Bills’ 31st-ranked run defense to face NFL’s most efficient ground game

The Panthers have one of the best rushing offenses in the NFL, and the Bills have one of the worst run defenses, which is not ideal for Buffalo.

Taylor Rapp goes to IR. The more pressing concern for the #Bills is that Bernard, Milano and Kincaid are questionable and might not play. www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

I'm not sure the trade deadline can help the #Bills because with their cap situation, it will be tough to bring a meaningful addition to the team, but here are a few names I came up with as possibilities: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Should the Bills trade to bolster their roster? Here are options

The Bills need to bolster their roster before the trade deadline, and cornerback and receiver are the obvious areas of need. Here are a few players to keep an eye on.
