2016 NFL Power Rankings: Chasing The West Divisions

Its been a brutal start to the year for Rex Ryan and his Buffalo Bills. Without even playing a game they’ve been dealt a series of blows on the injury front that won’t be easy to overcome. First round pick Shaq Lawson is out with a shoulder injury. Second round pick Reggie Ragland hurt his knee and now linebacker IK Enempkali is out for the year with a torn ACL. This on top of the fact that running back Karlos Williams is suspended the first four games. <p>A lot is riding on 2016 for Ryan. New ownership brings different demands and ideas to the table, ones that may not include him unless he can show he’s right for the job. That means winning games and erasing a playoff drought that has lasted since 1999. Tyrod Taylor is locked up for the future and he still has some good weapons to work with. Ryan though is a man who has always won with defense. Given what he’s lost already, it will take some of his vintage magic to keep the dam from breaking.</p>. . . Buffalo Bills . 17. player. 16
