5) The offensive line will be even better

Heading into last season, the Bills offensive line faced some intriguing questions, including what type of performance they would get from a certain Richie Incognito? In the end, Incognito didn’t look like a player who missed the entire 2014 season, as he started every game and was voted to the Pro Bowl.

Now, fresh off signing a three-year deal, Incognito will look to once again contribute to a line which helped the team lead the NFL in rushing. Pro Football Focus ranks them as football’s ninth-best line, not surprising when the Bills have a Pro Bowl center in Eric Wood and starting left tackle Cordy Glenn signed up for another five years.

This doesn’t mean the Bills don’t have some issues on the o-line, heading into the 2016 campaign. How will Jordan Mills perform at right tackle, with Seantrel Henderson still recovering from Crohn’s disease, and can right guard John Miller improve on a tough rookie campaign?

Fortunately for the Bills, things look positive, with Mills having previously being a regular starter in Chicago, while Miller appears to be over the ankle sprain, which affected his performances last year. Overall, there is every reason to believe the offensive line will be even better in 2016.
