The Buffalo Bills made improvements on the offensive side of the ball, adding weapons and solidifying the offensive line for young quarterback Josh Allen. They return ten of eleven starters on what was the number-two defense in the NFL in 2018. Overall, optimism is high in Western New York for the 2019 season.
