Buffalo Bills should look backwards to find answers after Patriots loss

Following Buffalo's first loss of the 2026 regular season against the New England Patriots, Bruce Nolan argues that the Buffalo Bills must analyze past performances rather than simply adopting a forward-looking mindset. He emphasizes that examining how and why games unfolded across the first four weeks reveals more predictive insights about the roster than relying on their 3-1 record.

Nolan highlights that Buffalo's three victories came against opponents who hold a combined 2-10 record: the Houston Texans, Detroit Lions, and Los Angeles Chargers. With rookie head coach Joe Brady at the helm, Nolan contends the team should address emerging warning signs before facing the Los Angeles Rams.
