The Bills won their first two games, a 23–20 overtime road win at Chicago (their first-ever victory at Soldier Field) and an emotionally raucous 29–10 home win against division rival Miami, a game played just days after the announcement that the Pegulas would purchase the team and keep it in Buffalo. On December 3, 2014, after six years and a 1–5 record (their only win coming in a 23–0 shutout victory against the Washington Redskins), the Bills Toronto Series was permanently cancelled. Bills President and CEO Russ Brandon will evaluate the series in the future, possibly to permanently cancel games in Toronto. On March 5, 2014, three weeks before Wilson's death, the Bills announced the postponement of the Bills Toronto Series for one year. The Pegula family was named as the winning bidder on September 9 and closed on its purchase of the team on October 8.Ĭancellation of the Toronto Series Three bidders stepped forward with bids: stalking horse bidder Donald Trump, the family of Buffalo Sabres owner and natural gas baron Terrence Pegula and a consortium led by musician Jon Bon Jovi and the principals of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, the last of whom raised serious concerns that the team would relocate to Toronto at the first opportunity.

He helped usher out the Marshawn Lynch Era, outlasted a dual-back system alongside C.J. Jackson had been with the team since 2007, and took over starting duties in 2010 during a (different) time of transition for the Bills. However, despite the blight at the position, new head coach Rex Ryan apparently felt that the veteran running back was expendable. However, after McCoy suffered a hamstring injury of his own, Williams was hospitalized for an undisclosed injury, and Bryce Brown and Boobie Dixon were also dinged up, Jackson’s place on the roster appeared more secure. With the team trading for LeSean McCoy during the offseason, and then selecting Florida State running back Karlos Williams in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Jackson’s roster spot was on shaky footing heading into camp.
