Thanks to an added game which began last year, the Buffalo Bills will have 17 games during the 2022 NFL regular season.
Each of them will be fun. Why is that?
Here are 17 storylines, one for each game, in the Bills’ 2022 schedule:
Week 1: The game we all wanted to see

Week 1: at Los Angeles Rams (TNF)
The Bills open the entire NFL season in 2022: Buffalo will be the team that’s tasked with visiting the defending champs, which has traditionally become the first game of every season. This year, it’s the Bills at the Rams, the contest everyone thought would be last year’s Super Bowl–but wasn’t.
Shut down the King

Week 2: vs. Tennessee Titans (MNF)
It’s Buffalo’s home opener and Monday Night Football. It should be awesome.
But if we’re focusing on the field? The Bills have to finally figure out how to shut down Derrick Henry. Do not overlook him as folks seem to do so with the Titans.
Combined, in Henry’s past three games against Buffalo, he has put up 278 rushing yards and six touchdowns. Yikes.
Keeping up without Tre?

Week 3: at Miami Dolphins
It’s unlikely that cornerback Tre’Davious White will be back by Week 3 due to his knee injury suffered in 2021. If that’s the case, the Dolphins now have receiver Tyreek Hill and still have Jaylen Waddle. Buffalo’s secondary will be tested in a game they cannot overlook–This is the Bills’ lone divisional game before their Week 7 bye.
