As customary, six of the Bills’ 17 games will come against AFC East teams, one apiece at home and on the road.
The AFC East’s intraconference rotation features the AFC West. The Bills will play the Chiefs and Chargers at home, and Broncos and Raiders on the road.
The AFC East’s interconference rotation features the NFC North. The Bills will play the Bears and Lions at home, and the Packers and Vikings on the road.
The remaining games were determined by their divisional finish (second) last year. They’ll play other teams that finished second: Ravens (AFC North), Texans (AFC South), and Rams (NFC West). Because it’s the AFC’s turn for nine road games — each AFC team has nine road games in even-numbered seasons — the Bills game against the Rams is on the road.
