Bills Over Ravens

The Buffalo Bills feel confident that Tyrod Taylor is their answer at quarterback after an impressive first season as the starter at quarterback in 2015. With that being said, it’s now up to Taylor to prove he’s worth risk, and it starts Sunday against a Baltimore Ravens team anxious to bounce back from a 5-11 season.

Obviously, the results from last year would have been much different for the Ravens if the team didn’t suffer so many key injuries on both sides of the football. Of course, the main question is whether any players like Joe Flacco or Steve Smith will look a little rusty in the regular-season opener against the Bills.

There’s no question Baltimore will most likely return to being one of the top teams in the AFC, but Rex Ryan will have his players ready for this matchup. Not to mention the head coach spent many years on the Ravens’ coaching staff, and always seems to find extra motivation in these situations.
