Buffalo Bills players who need to improve in 2025 after rough season
If that Bills are going to do that, some players need to improve on what their play looked like last season. Specifically, we have three of those.
Here are Bills Wire's three players that need to improve in 2025 after a rough season:
TE Dalton Kincaid
While Kincaid has featured in the Bills offense, he has not yet had that breakout season. Kincaid had large expectations attached to him in when he was drafted in 2023 and we haven't seen those yet.
But with the Bills not making a big splash to sign a receiver this offseason, there is a great opportunity for Kincaid to breakout.
WR Keon Coleman
What could help Kincaid? Coleman also improving next season.
During his rookie season in 2024, Coleman did have some moments but then he slowed down. A hand injury did not help at all.
If Coleman can put that behind him and stay healthy, he has a shot to be quarterback Josh Allen's top target next season.
LB Matt Milano
After finally avoided injuries in 2022 and putting together an All-Pro season, they came back again for the Bills' top linebacker. In 2024, Milano was held to only four games and that led to him reworking his contract.
Milano will now be a free agent after next year but he could return. But that depends on Milano finding a way to stay on the field and not manage another injury.
And if Milano does stay healthy, it's easy to be confident in him as he's always a consistent player when he does stay on the field.

Predicting Finland's 2026 Women's Hockey Olympic Roster
As good as Canada and USA are, Finland can hang close in this department. They have the veteran punch of Susanna Tapani, Petra Nieminen, Michelle Karvinen, Ronja Savolainen, and Noora Tulus. Finland also boasts an impressive group of up and comers like Viivi Vainikka, Elisa Holopainen, Sanni Vanhanen, Sanni Rantala, Sofianna Sundelin, and Julia Schalin, along with solid support from Emilia Vesa, Ida Kuoppala, Jenniina Nylund, and Julia Liikala. It's unknown whether long time captain Jenni Hiirikoski will continue to compete following an illness that plagued her much of last season and kept her from the 2025 World Championships. The team held their first preparatory camp in June with all eyes on the 2026 Olympics in Milano Cortina. Advertisement Finland will go head-to-head with Czechia as bronze medal favorites, and always have an upset on their mind. Who will be in net in 2026? Sanni Ahola is the leading contender to be Finland's starter. She had the role at the 2025 Olympics before Finland tried to bounce between other goaltenders. In the end, youngster Emilia Krykko stole some time, but Ahola, who is headed to the PWHL to play with the Ottawa Charge, is likely going to get every opportunity to carry Finland in 2026. Krykko will be the starter at St. Cloud State and will have plenty of reps under her belt in the challenging WCHA as well. The other netminders in contention are University of Maine's Kiia Lahtinen and veteran Anni Keisala. The Picks: Sanni Ahola, Emilia Krykko, Kiia Lahtinen Advertisement Defensive Questions Remain For Finland If there is one significant question mark for Finland, it's their blueline. Ronja Savolainen and Nelli Laitinen are the anchors, along with Sanni Rantala. If Jenni Hiirikoski can squeeze a final Olympics out of her body, it will give Finland a formidable top four that can compete. Hiirikoski however, did not attend Finland's camp in June. At the moment, Finland needs to proceed as if Hiirikoski won't be playing. Beyond this group, Finland needs to examine who is best prepared to face the strongest Olympic competition women's hockey has ever seen. Expect Siiri Yrjölä to take a step forward in her role with Finland as she enters her second NCAA season at St. Cloud State. Finland should consider bringing back Sini Kajalainen for her veteran experience, including facing North American talent, but she hasn't played for Finland since 2023. Elli Suoranta saw quality minutes at the 2025 World Championships and played well, but until she leaves Finland's Auroraliiga for stiffer competition, there will be question marks. Krista Parkonnen and Oona Koukkula are other candidates, with Parkonnen having significant NCAA experience, and Kuokkula potentially drawing more responsibility entering her second season in the SDHL at only 21. Finland has shuffled their deck so many times at the back end that Ada Eronen and rising Tuuli Tallinen may crack the lineup. The Picks: Ronja Savolainen, Nelli Laitinen, Sanni Rantala, Siiri Yrjola, Elli Suoranta, Oona Koukkula, Sini Karjalainen, Tuuli Tallinen.

It's the key to their roster that keeps them a step ahead of the rest of the world, and nipping at the heels of Canada and USA. Susanna Tapani and Michelle Karvinen will be battle ready from the PWHL, and Noora Tulus brings a season of PWHL experience to Finland's roster whether she returns to the league or not. Add in Petra Nieminen, who could step into any top six in the PWHL today with her physical, power forward game, Viivi Vainikka who will soon join the PWHL through the 2026 Draft, and the reigning SDHL leading scorer in Elisa Holopainen, and this group has it all. But it certainly does not stop there. Sanni Vanhanen is headed to Ohio State, Jenniina Nylund is an NCAA experienced forward who has been strong in the SDHL and could challenge for a PWHL roster spot next year, and NCAA players like Julia Schalin and Sofianna Sundelin took huge steps forward last year. With the support of veterans Emilia Vesa, Ida Kuoppala, and Julia Liikala, this group is beyond 12 deep. Finland might be wise to lean into more players with NCAA experience like Sofia Nuutinen, Oona Havana, and Nea Tervonen for depth, but they could also give one of their final spots to Emma Ekoluoma who got a sniff at Worlds. Advertisement The Picks: Susanna Tapani, Michelle Karvinen, Noora Tulus, Petra Nieminen, Viivi Vainikka, Elisa Holopainen, Sanni Vanhanen, Jenniina Nylund, Julia Schalin, Sofianna Sundelin, Emilia Vesa, Ida Kuoppala, Julia Liikala, Sofia Nuutinen. Finland's Potential Olympic Roster Elisa Holopainen - Susanna Tapani - Petra Nieminen Michelle Karvinen - Noora Tulus - Viivi Vainikka Sanni Vanhanen - Jennina Nylund - Emilia Vesa Julia Schalin - Sofianna Sundelin - Ida Kuoppala Julia Liikala - Sofia Nuutinen Ronja Savolainen - Sanni Rantala Nelli Laitinen - Siiri Yrjola Sini Karjalainen- Elli Suoranta Oona Koukkula - Tuuli Tallinen Sanni Ahola - Emilia Krykko - Kiia Lahtinen

Bills release hype video for team's 2025 defense
The Buffalo Bills defense is hoping for another strong season under the watch of head coach Sean McDermott once again in 2025. While quarterback Josh Allen is the focal point of the team, the defense has had plenty of good seasons. Is another big year in the books in 2025? Advertisement Playing a big part in that will be the linebackers led by Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano. The secondary is also a critical piece in a passing league. That group is led by top cornerback Christian Benford and the hopes behind first-round rookie Maxwell Hairston. And speaking of those parts of the defense, the Bills hyped those up in a video released to social media which can be found below: This article originally appeared on Bills Wire: Highlight hype video for Bills 2025 defense

Are these 4 New York Giants the team's Mt. Rushmore since 2000?
The New York Giants have a long and storied history, over 100 years worth to be precise. They have had great Hall of Fame players and coaches along the way, but who stands out in the 21st century? The folks at Bleacher Report recently released their versions of each NFL team's Mt. Rushmore since 2000. They chose these four players for the Giants: running back Tiki Barber, quarterback Eli Manning, guard Chris Snee, and defensive end Michael Strahan. The New York Giants didn't have a 2000s dynasty like the Patriots, but they won two Super Bowls over New England and had one of the easier Mt. Rushmores to construct. Players like David Diehl, Justin Tuck, Amani Toomer and Victor Cruz were notable, but New York had four legitimate headliners. All admirable picks, and all four have been enshrined in the team's Ring of Honor. Strahan has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while Barber and Manning have yet to get the call. Snee was a four-time Pro Bowler who started 141 games over 10 seasons and was the anchor on the offensive line in both Super Bowl victories. If we were to make any substitutions, it would be here. You can make a strong argument that Snee's father-in-law, Tom Coughlin, could be on the Mount. Coughlin coached the Giants to two Super Bowl championships and had an 8-3 record in the postseason. His 102 victories are second all-time among Giants' head coaches (Steve Owen, 153).
