The Buffalo Bills traveled to take on the New England Patriots in a Week 18 contest that was not meaningful in the traditional sense of winning being important. That said, the Bills found plenty of meaning trying to set team and league records and allowing players to lock in bonuses and streaks. Head coach Sean McDermott hinted that there was additional value in taking a look at specific players to evaluate, and similar to that, my penalty focused mind may have noticed even more meaning.
I’m pretty confident that the Buffalo Bills took the opportunity to fiddle with kickoffs to see if they can gain a field position advantage.
