Everyone knows the Buffalo Bills, like most NFL teams, rested the majority of their starters during Week 4 of the NFL’s tedious preseason slate of games. It took a late drive from third-string QB Tyree Jackson, but the Bills pulled out the win against the Minnesota Vikings.
The 2019 Bills (4-0) completed the preseason with a perfect record. It’s the first time in franchise history a Bills team accomplished the feat.
After earning wins over the Indianapolis Colts (24-16), Carolina Panthers (27-14), and Detroit Lions (24-20), the Bills started off with three straight preseason wins for the first time in 53 years.
