Ranking the 10 most important games for the Bills in the 2024 season
7. Week 8, Seattle Seahawks
Week eight will be a crucial game to win when facing the next three opponents (Dolphins, Colts, and Chiefs). This team has an identity of playing everybody tough ever since Pete Caroll was the head coach. However, Seattle could turn into a defensive powerhouse with Mike Mcdonald at the helm.
Seattle is still a talented team with many young and talented players, especially on defense with players like Devin Witherspoon, Byron Murphy II, Jarren Reed, and former Buffalo Bill Tyrel Dodson. As a defensive coach, McDonald will attack the Bills offense in any way possible.
6. Week 14, LA Rams
The Rams don't look all that great on paper, but fought their way into the postseason last year. The loss of Aaron Donald will be crucial for any quarterback who has to face that defense, but the Rams were still able to draft two defensive linemen in the first round.
Offensively, the Rams will put up a fight as long as Matt Stafford and Sean McVay are around, not to mention Cooper Kupp and rookie sensation Puka Nacua. Depending on how the game against the 9ers pans out, this would either need to be a rebound game, or a momentum game for the Bills late in the season.
