The Buffalo Bills just caught two potentially important breaks on their 2026 schedule. First, Houston will be without rookie defensive tackle Caden McDonald against Buffalo. No, that doesn't suddenly make the Texans defense easy. Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter are still terrifying, and Houston sacked Josh Allen eight times in this matchup last season. But McDonald's absence gives Houston one fewer big body to rotate through the middle. And that gives Buffalo another reason to FEED James Cook. Make those edge rushers defend the run. Attack the interior. Don't turn this into Josh Allen dropping back 45 times against one of the NFL's best pass rushes. Then we look ahead to the AFC East. A.J. Brown is heading to IR, meaning he will miss New England's Week 4 matchup against Buffalo. That's a massive weapon Jim Leonhard's defense won't have to worry about. Two injuries. Two changes to Buffalo's schedule. And the NFL season hasn't even really gotten started yet. #BuffaloBills #BillsMafia #JoshAllen #JamesCook #NFL Photo Credit: Troy Taormina IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
