Bills to bring back throwback red helmets for final game at Highmark Stadium
The Buffalo Bills will wear their nostalgic red helmets for the first time since 2001 when they host the New York Jets in Week 18, the team announced on Tuesday afternoon. After 24 years, the Bills are bringing back the headgear to commemorate the final home game at the current Highmark Stadium. Starting next season, the team will play at the new Highmark stadium, right next door to their current address in Orchard Park. Advertisement The Bills wore their red helmets from 1987-2001. With the bold, red base, the helmet features the blue and white logo on the side and a white facemask. "There's no better way to celebrate our fans and honor our team's history by bringing back the red helmets," Bills Chief Operating Officer Pete Guelli said in a statement. "The Bills provided this region with some of the most incredible moments in franchise history in the 1990s wearing these helmets and we feel this is a great way to commemorate the closing of Highmark Stadium in our regular season finale." Apart from the mask, the team will bring back their vintage "Standing Buffalo" uniforms twice this season. The helmet featuring a red silhouette of the Buffalo logo was memorably paired with their white jerseys, an ensemble introduced in 1962 and making its way back for Week 5 in Atlanta and Week 11 against Tampa Bay. Buffalo last wore the vintage combo on October 31, 2021, in a 26-11 win against the Miami Dolphins. Advertisement While giving an ode to their past, the Bills' present offers fans plenty of promise. Buffalo has made it to the divisional round of the postseason every year since 2020, making the conference title game in 2020 and 2024. Behind MVP Josh Allen, the Bills finished atop the AFC East with a 13-4 record this past season. They took down the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens before falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game.

In nod to team's history, Buffalo Bills to wear two additional helmets in 2025
The Bills are adding some Buffalo sauce and blue cheese (or is it ranch?) to their uniform closet in 2025, which will be the team's final one at Highmark Stadium. The team will bring back the red helmets it wore from 1984 to 2010 − and specifically the version used from 1987 to 2001, with white facemasks and blue and white stripes running down the crown's centerline − for the regular-season finale in Orchard Park, New York, against the Jets on January 4. They're the same helmets the Bills featured during their four consecutive Super Bowl losses between the 1990 and '93 seasons. "There's no better way to celebrate our fans and honor our team's history by bringing back the red helmets. The Bills provided this region with some of the most incredible moments in franchise history in the 1990s wearing these helmets and we feel this is a great way to commemorate the closing of Highmark Stadium in our regular season finale," said the club's chief operating officer, Pete Guelli, in a statement. The Bills are scheduled to move into their new building for the start of the 2026 season. In addition, Buffalo is bringing back the red 'Standing Buffalo' logo that served as the franchise's primary emblem from its AFL days in the 1960s until 1973. It was last used as a throwback during the 2021 season. The grazing buff will return at Atlanta for a Monday night game against the Falcons on October 13. The Bills will also use it at home on November 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. .

Ravens TE Entering 'Make-Or-Break Season'
Ravens TE Entering 'Make-Or-Break Season' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There was 1:33 left in the fourth quarter of the Divisional Round matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium. Advertisement Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely just caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson to silence the home crowd and narrow the Bills' lead to 27-25. A two-point conversion was all that stood between a tie game and possible overtime or a season-ending loss for the Ravens. On the ensuing conversion attempt, Jackson found Mark Andrews wide open on the right side of the end zone and threw a perfect spiral that hit Andrews right in the numbers ... just before the ball hit the turf. The normally sure-handed Andrews flat-out dropped the pass. It was out of character for Andrews, who registered just four drops all season with a 5.8 percent drop rate. But he could be due for a "make-or-break" season per Damian Parson with Bleacher Report. Advertisement "Mark Andrews' 2024 season came to a screeching stop in one of the worst ways possible. Against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, the veteran tight end dropped the would-be game-tying two-point conversion in the Ravens' divisional-round loss," Parson wrote. "His night against Buffalo would've been great if not for the drop and costly fumble. Nonetheless, Andrews finished the season second in targets and third in receiving yards for Baltimore. According to NFL Pro, the 29-year-old ran more than 10 routes each game, and after Week 5 he was targeted on 23 percent of his routes. "... Jackson relies upon Andrews' talents and consistency. Will he take a step back, with teammate Isaiah Likely taking the reins as the new TE1? Possibly. Regardless, Andrews must be utilized and factored into the passing attack this season. He turns 30 at the beginning of the season, but if he plays the way we're accustomed to, he should earn a contract extension." As Likely continues to improve, it doesn't seem long before he takes over the TE1 job from Andrews. The former Oklahoma tight end enters the final year of his four-year, $56 million deal and has a cap hit of almost $17 million. That could spell cut or trade for the seven-year veteran.
