Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by previewing Buffalo’s home opener vs. the Raiders, including discussing how Buffalo needs to do better at stopping Josh Jacobs and the Raiders’ rushing attack, and how QB Josh Allen needs to take better care of the football if the Bills are to get their first win of the year.
