What happened: The Buffalo Bills explored a trade for defensive tackle Jordan Davis leading up to the NFL trade deadline. Davis was instead traded on Nov. 10 in a separate deal before Buffalo completed its deadline roster adjustments.
Why it matters: Buffalo pursued defensive reinforcements to strengthen its defensive front ahead of the second-half playoff push. The pursuit underscored the front office's priority on interior disruption and run defense for the remainder of the regular season.
By the numbers: Davis has 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 2026 through 9 games.
What to watch: Buffalo returns to regular-season action looking to build on momentum following a 23-6 victory on Nov. 9.
