By any measure, the Buffalo Bills exceeded expectations last season in Sean McDermott's first year as coach. They finished 9-7 and made the playoffs for the first time since 1999, defying my prediction last April that they would finish 6-10, and my revised prediction last August of 5-11. With a huge question mark at quarterback in 2018, can Buffalo successfully play the role of underdog again?
Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 9, at Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m. ET
For the second time in three seasons, the Bills begin their schedule at M&T Bank Stadium.
