A Midseason Return Boosts Bills’ Quest for AFC East Title
The Buffalo Bills’ chances of securing their fifth consecutive AFC East title have received a significant boost with the expected return of star linebacker Tremaine Milano. Initially diagnosed with a torn biceps, Milano is now ready to rejoin the roster for the rest of the 2024 season. His return will provide a significant morale lift to the Bills’ defense, which has played solidly during his absence.
The team has enjoyed a remarkable start to the season, boasting the best turnover differential in the league (+14) with 21 takeaways and 19.5 points allowed per game, ranking seventh in the NFL. Milano’s presence is expected to be a major factor in helping the team secure a win over the San Francisco 49ers in a prime-time matchup.
In his last full season in 2022, Milano earned his first All-Pro honor, recording 99 tackles, 1.5 sacks, three interceptions, 11 pass break-ups, and two fumble recoveries. His return to the roster will undoubtedly create a memorable evening at Highmark Stadium, with a snowy setting expected to make the game even more exciting.
The Bills and 49ers will face off on Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET.
