4 storylines for the Buffalo Bills Week 8 matchup against the Packers

After a week off for their bye, the Buffalo Bills are returning to Highmark Stadium to play the Green Bay Packers in a primetime matchup. Prior to the season, this looked like it could be a potential Super Bowl preview but the Packers are struggling entering this game with a 3-4 record and have lost three straight.

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills will be looking to keep their momentum going from before the bye week after a come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens, a blowout victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and a road win over the Kansas City Chiefs in their last three games.

Looking ahead to this game, these are some of the top storylines for the Buffalo Bills Week 8 matchup.

4 storylines for the Buffalo Bills’ matchup with the Green Bay Packers

Buffalo Bills record after a bye week

The Buffalo Bills have been very successful after their bye under Sean McDermott and are 5-0 in his time as head coach. In the first two years as head coach, the Bills played much closer games with wins over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars by three points in each game.

However, in the past few years the games haven’t been as competitive as the Bills have won by double digits in every game with two wins over the Miami Dolphins and one win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

This game looks like Buffalo has a great chance to continue that streak with the Bills having one of the best records in football while the Green Bay Packers are struggling.
