ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Regular-season schedules generally stagger in the NFL. Rarely can players plan to spend nearly a month and a half at home, so this upcoming stretch for the Buffalo Bills is significant.
They play five of their next six at New Era Field, a stretch sweetened by their Week 6 bye. They are in the midst of the league's easiest schedule to start the season and play host to the Cincinnati Bengals in their home opener on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, CBS) before welcoming the New England Patriots to town in Week 4.
