Bills Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) Indianapolis?A s the team's rookie first-rounder in 2011, Buffalo defensive lineman Marcell Dareus played both end and tackle, and was effective at both positions.

Up to the Minute NFL News from Yahoo Sports. Injuries, Trades, Firings... All the Latest in NFL Rumors & Gossip. Home Home Following the 1946 season, in an effort to generate more fan interest and distinguish the football team from the city's minor league baseball and hockey teams, which also bore the name "Bisons," the team ran a contest to select a new name. Over 4,500 entries were submitted, and "the Bills" won over "Bullets," "Nickels" and "Blue Devils." Several contestants suggested the winning name, but James F.
