BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW — The Buffalo Bills are heading to South Beach for the first Thursday Night Football game of the season. The NFL announced on Tuesday morning the Bills will travel to Miami for a Week 2 matchup with the Dolphins on Thursday, September 12 at 8:15 p.m. The game will be on Amazon Prime nationally.
Buffalo traveled to Miami for the final game of the 2023 regular season, clinching their fourth straight AFC East title in the final regular season game of the season.
The full NFL schedule is set to be released Wednesday, May 15 at 8:00 p.m. on NFL Network and ESPN 2.
Bove’s take:
This announcement tells us a few different things and helps us start to piece together the beginning of the Bills schedule.
With Buffalo traveling on a short week to Miami in Week 2, it’s a safe bet the Bills will start their 2024 season at home. Given the short week, it’s also likely that game will be played at 1:00 p.m. to avoid making it an even tighter turn for the Bills.
While we don’t know the opponent, it’s a safe assumption this will mean Buffalo starts their season in Orchard Park for the first time since 2021.
No way Bills play on Sunday Night Football and then Thursday night a few days later. So it’s a safe bet the Bills are going to open the season at home on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
