We made it through another Buffalo Bills victory week, this time against AFC East rival Miami Dolphins! Now, it’s time to face the Chicago Bears this Saturday, and it might be chilly. Forecasts are calling for wind chills of -20 degrees, and wind gusts of 40 miles an hour. Meanwhile, the Dolphins host the Packers, Bill Belichick moves onto Cincinnati, and the Jets face the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football. That game, Pro Bowl nominees, and so much more in this article.
