The Buffalo Bills should be much better this season, defensively, under first-year head coach Sean McDermott.

That’s good, although the challenges facing them in the AFC East aren’t going to make life easy.

Bigger questions loom on offense, though. Bringing back quarterback Tyrod Taylor was the right move, but his supporting cast still has plenty of question marks.

Can wide receiver Sammy Watkins stay healthy enough and contribute after a forgettable 2016 campaign? How long will running back LeSean McCoy be able to terrorize defenses?

The addition of veteran receiver Anquan Boldin might help some, although it’s not enough to totally reinvigorate the offense.

There are simply too many X-factors in place for the Bills right now to justify moving them up any higher in our power rankings right now.
