The NFL has released its 2018 regular-season schedule. Here's a look at what's in store for the Buffalo Bills.
Breakdown: For the first time in the 59 seasons of Bills history, the team will start the regular season with five of its first seven games on the road. Buffalo then returns home for one of its toughest games, hosting the Patriots in Week 8. That makes for a brutal first-half schedule for the Bills' new quarterback, whether it is AJ McCarron or a rookie selected in next week's draft. Of course, there is an upside to the tough start, with six of the Bills' final games in the friendly confines of New Era Field, as well as Week 11 bye.
