Beyond strictly looking at wins and losses, DVOA by Football Outsiders gives a clear picture of team performance.

The following Infographic shows the past 10 years of DVOA rankings (2008-2017) for the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills finally ended their playoff drought in 2017, sneaking into the playoffs with a -57 point differential and their worst team in DVOA over the past four seasons. 

Doug Marrone began the turnaround with Sean McDermott taking the baton after a brief Rex Ryan interlude. Where the Bills go from here is unclear as they parted ways with Tyrod Taylor and drafted Josh Allen in the first round.

Ten-Year DVOA Rankings: Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins

The Buffalo Bills have agreed to sign Jon Ryan.

Ryan was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Monday as Michael Dickson was set to be their punter.

Ryan will compete for the punter job with Colton Schmidt.

A number of Buffalo Bills defenders called out Jarvis Landry for what they categorized as a "dirty" block on rookie cornerback Taron Johnson in Friday's preseason game.

Johnson, a fourth-round pick from Weber State, blamed himself for not being more aggressive and said Landry later apologized to him.

The Cleveland Browns scored on a 4-yard touchdown run by Carlos Hyde on the play.

"Landry, he's a good receiver, physical guy, but some of those plays that he has -- Aaron Williams, Taron, I'm pretty sure he has other ones -- I just think they're dirty," linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said. "Coming from the outside of the box in, the league needs to do a better job of calling penalties on those types of plays. Obviously, defenders get called all the time on stuff that is probably less egregious than that. If we're going to protect our football players, we need to protect everybody, not just offensive guys.

"It was dirty at the end of the day, and that's how I feel about it."

AJ McCarron suffered a hairline fracture to his right collarbone during Friday's preseason game.

McCarron started the game and completed 3 of 6 passes for 12 yards. 

McCarron signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Buffalo Bills in March after four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. The deal included a $4 million signing bonus, a fully guaranteed $900,000 base salary in 2018 and $1.1 million of his 2019 base salary guaranteed for injury.

Cam Newton confronted Kelvin Benjamin before Thursday night's preseason game between the Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills.

Benjamin criticized his former quarterback less than a week ago.

Newton offered Benjamin a handshake, but the wide receiver walked away. The quarterback stalked after him.

Benjamin said he "wasn't even trying to listen" to Newton when he approached him and that he's "moving on" from what he said about the quarterback. Benjamin told The Athletic last week that he wishes he was never drafted by the Panthers, in part because of a lack of chemistry with Newton.

"If you would've put me with any other quarterback, let's be real, you know what I'm saying?" Benjamin explained. "Any other accurate quarterback like [Aaron] Rodgers or Eli Manning or Big Ben [Roethlisberger] -- anybody! -- quarterbacks with knowledge, that know how to place a ball and give you a better chance to catch the ball. It just felt like I wasn't in that position."

The Cleveland Browns have traded Corey Coleman to the Buffalo Bills for a seventh-round pick in 2020, according to sources.

Coleman, 24, was the 15th overall pick in 2016. The pick was part of the haul the Browns received from the Philadelphia Eagles in the trade for the second overall pick that same season (Carson Wentz).

He has played in just 19 of a possible 32 games in his career.
