Buffalo Bills announce return of long-awaited red helmet for game in 2025
The red helmets will return for the Buffalo Bills in 2025.
Just ahead of the start of 2025 NFL training camp for the team on Wednesday, the Bills announced that Buffalo will once again wear their red helmets again next year.
A teaser look at the helmets can be found below:
The Bills explained the decision has to do with the monumental season 2025 will be for the franchise. It will be the final year the team plays at their current venue. In 2026, the new Highmark Stadium will open.
The Bills called the red helmets a "nod" to Buffalo's past. They be worn during only one very appropriate game: The Bills' season finale in Week 18, the final contest that will ever be played at their current home against the New York Jets.
In addition to the red helmets, the Bills announced the team will wear their other, already worn throwbacks twice next season: the "Standing Buffalo" vintage look. Those will feature in Week 6 during "Monday Night Football" against the Atlanta Falcons and Week 11 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A video announcing the red helmets can be found in the clip below:

ESPN NFL Analyst Admits He Prayed On Live Television
ESPN NFL Analyst Admits He Prayed On Live Television originally appeared on The Spun. A prominent ESPN NFL analyst admitted that he prayed on live television following a devastating injury. Dan Orlovsky, who recently re-signed with ESPN, prayed on live TV following the crushing injury to Damar Hamlin during a Monday Night Football Game on Jan. 2, 2023. The former NFL quarterback didn't just send out some simple "thoughts and prayers" on social media. He decided to actually pray for Hamlin on an episode of ESPN's "NFL Live." 'I thought to myself: someone should actually pray for Damar — like actually pray for him — instead of saying thoughts and prayers,' he said this week on the Awful Announcing Podcast with Brandon Contes. Orlovsky bowed his head and prayed - close to a full minute - for the Buffalo Bills defensive back, who suffered cardiac arrest on the field. 'I started to have this feeling in my heart, OK, Dan, God's telling you, go pray for Damar,' he said. Orlovsky said that he spoke to his coworkers, Marcus Spears and Laura Rutledge, before the show. "Marcus looked me dead in the eye and he was like, 'All good, [but] don't do it for TV, though. If you're going to do it, do it because you want to pray for him,'' Orlovsky recalled. Orlovsky added that for the most part, he received a lot of good feedback from fans. He was not disciplined by ESPN for the move, either. 'Did I get an email here and there or a text message here and there from people who said it wasn't for them, not their cup of tea? Of course I did,' Orlovsky continued. 'But, overwhelmingly, I think a lot of people just connected and it resonated with [them].' Orlovsky is set to be a big part of ESPN's NFL coverage heading into the 2025 season. ESPN NFL Analyst Admits He Prayed On Live Television first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Know Your Enemy, Sabres' Metropolitan Edition: Is Buffalo Anywhere Near The Same Level As Elite Carolina Hurricanes?
The Buffalo Sabres have missed out on Stanley Cup playoff hockey for the past 14 seasons. They intend on being a playoff team next year, but to do so, they'll need to be relatively dominant with every team they encounter. And while we at have just finished our series against the Sabres' seven Atlantic Division rivals, it's also a good time of year to focus on the Metropolitan Division teams Buffalo will take on. We're starting this new leg of the series in alphabetical order, with the Carolina Hurricanes as the main topic of discussion. Let's get right to it. NEW HURRICANES PLAYERS: Nikolaj Ehlers, LW; K'Andre Miller, D; Mike Reilly, D 2024-25 SERIES: Sabres 2-1-0, Hurricanes 1-2-0 2025-26 GAMES AGAINST EACH OTHER: November 8 at Carolina; November 23 at Buffalo; January 19 at Carolina CAN THE SABRES BEAT THIS TEAM? The Sabres bookended their season series against the Hurricanes with wins in Buffalo, but that didn't get them into the Stanley Cup playoffs. But the 'Canes have retooled this year, with much of their defense corps leaving -- including stars Brent Burns and Dmitry Orlov -- and one major addition up front in winger Ehlers. As well, Carolina GM Eric Tulsky acquired former New York Rangers D-man Miller, and depth defenseman Reilly came into the organization as a free agent. All things considered, the Hurricanes are surely going to be one of the teams picked to finish at or near the top of the Metropolitan Division, and many will also make them the sexy pick to win a Cup next season. But for this writer, the Hurricanes don't feel like a completed unit just yet -- and with $10.6 million in salary cap space still available for the 'Canes, Tulsky can afford to be patient and use it to address needs that become apparent once the regular-season begins. Still, the Sabres should feel good about taking on the Hurricanes next season. Buffalo fared well enough against this 'Canes group this past year, and the changes the Sabres have made in theory make them slightly better. So in the three games Carolina and Buffalo play against one another -- even if two of them will be road games for the Sabres -- Buffalo should be competitive enough to be at least as successful against the Hurricanes as they were last season. Know Your Enemy, Sabres Edition: Will Marner-Less Maple Leafs Continue Dominating Buffalo? The Buffalo Sabres will have many important games to play next season, but their most important games could prove to be against their rivals in the Atlantic Division. The Sabres also still have some cap space to use to improve during the year -- $5.19-million, approximately -- but unless they have injuries to deal with on defense, the area Sabres GM Kevyn Adams is likely to spend his cap space on will be at forward. And whether Adams spends it on pure rental players, or on younger players who can be part of the long-term solution in Buffalo, there's little question there will be pressure on Sabres brass to spend right to the upper ceiling of the cap. Regardless of who eventually gets added to Buffalo's lineup, to keep up with the Hurricanes, the Sabres will need to add speed and skill at some point and regularly crash Carolina's net to adversely impact veteran goaltenders Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov. And they'll need a tight defensive attack to turn back 'Canes star forwards Sebastian Aho, Andrei Svechnikov, Ehlers and Seth Jarvis. Know Your Enemy, Sabres Edition: Can Buffalo Jump Past Tampa Bay Into Third Place In Atlantic Division? The Buffalo Sabres are facing massive pressure to at least qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in 15 years. But there's intense competition for each and every standings point teams can generate, and the Sabres' don't benefit by playing in the Atlantic Division -- the most competitive division, in our estimation, in the league. And Buffalo is going to have to get a leg up on more than a few Atlantic rival teams, Tampa Bay included if they really intend to claim a Cup anytime soon. At the end of the day, the Hurricanes are going to present a high competitive bar for the Sabres to try to clear. Carolina still needs a good deal of playoff success if they're going to reward Tulsky for investing in them, but if things go right for both Buffalo and the Hurricanes, they're eventually going to clash in the post-season once each of the two teams makes it our of their respective divisional showdowns. And if it does get to that point this year and all of Buffalo's ducks line up just right, the Sabres should have a decent chance at surprising the 'Canes and embarking on a true Cinderella-level playoff run.

Bills' Josh Allen Sends Clear Message on What Drives Him This Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Buffalo Bills and superstar quarterback Josh Allen are headed into the 2025 NFL season with only one goal in mind. Nothing but a Super Bowl would make the upcoming campaign count as a success. Last season, the Bills were just one win away from the big game. Unfortunately, they lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. In recent years, Buffalo has looked the part of a Super Bowl favorite on multiple occasions. The team simply has not been able to get over the hump. Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills warms up before the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on November 10, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills warms up before the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on November 10, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Photo byWith training camp in full swing, Allen is clearly hungry for a championship. He wants to bring one home for the Bills Mafia. Read more: Falcons QB Kirk Cousins Linked to 3 Potential Trade Destinations During an interview with Tom Pelissero in training camp, Allen spoke out about what is driving him this season. "That's the only thing on my mind in camp, is just like, what can we do to bring a Lombardi trophy home?" Allen said. Allen put together the best season of his career last year. He won the NFL MVP, but that didn't mean much to him. Without a championship, the MVP was simply another award, although he was happy to win it. Throughout the course of the year, Allen played in 16 games. He completed 63.6 percent of his pass attempts for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just six interceptions, while also racking up 531 yards and 12 more touchdowns on the ground. At 29 years old, Allen seems to have a new sense of urgency. He knows that a championship window can close at any time.

They gave him a massive six-year, $330 million contract. Now, it's time for him to take his game up to another level and bring home a championship. Of course, that is easier said than done and will take a complete team effort. Allen and the rest of the Buffalo roster are highly motivated to get the job done this year. It will be interesting to see what the Bills are able to do this season. Allen's comments are a clear message to both his own team and the rest of the NFL that. Buffalo will be a team to be reckoned with. For more on the Buffalo Bills and general NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
