He’s been called the team’s franchise player since arriving. Now … Read More
Each Wednesday during the NFL season I’m compiling power rankings of the best Buffalo Bills players for 2017. The rankings are cumulative and not based solely off their last game. Here’s my rankings after Week four, a 23-17 victory in Atlanta (last week’s rankings in parenthesis): 1. Tyrod Taylor: If you don’t like the way Taylor’s … Read More
