Result:
WIN

Buffalo has great defensive depth and their QB rotation is much better in 2015 with Matt Cassell, E.J. Manuel and Tyrod Taylor. Coach Rex Ryan wants to see a quarterback string together quality practices and separate himself from the competition. The Browns have injuries and a terrible QB rotation with Josh McCown, Johnny Manziel and Thad Lewis. With Connor Shaw undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in his right thumb, the Browns will have only three quarterbacks to get through the game. But the Bills and their premier defensive line will provide a stern test for McCown. In red zone drills Tuesday, he had a pass tipped by defensive tackle Stefan Charles and intercepted in the back of the end zone by linebacker Preston Brown. The Browns, who were without eight-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas against the Redskins, struggled to blast open holes last week, resulting in a combined eight carries for 16 yards for Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell. The Bills also had a trio of double-digit sackers last year in Williams (14.5), Jerry Hughes (10) and Marcell Dareus. The Bills also finished fourth in total defense last year, including third against the pass. The Browns just lost Justin Gilbert to a hip flexor on Tuesday night and receivers Dwayne Bowe and Terrelle Pryor are out, so grab the bigger and better dog and play the Bills.
