Week 1 of the preseason has come and gone, and it was a doozy. We enjoyed back-to-back triple headers on Thursday and Friday before the bulk of the slate unfolded throughout Saturday, and it concluded with two contests on Sunday.

The Bills are a much better team than the Giants, and while much of that is the star quarterback and difference makers on both sides of the ball, there’s another reason that becomes apparent quickly during preseason football. Good teams usually have better depth throughout their roster, giving them an advantage when it becomes backups vs. backups.
