New Orleans Saints have had a mixed start to their NFL campaign this season. Heading into the seventh match of their season against Seattle Seahawks, the New Orleans-based side is 3-2-0. To make matter worse, three of their players this season have announced their retirement. Chris Hogan is the latest one to kick the bucket. Defensive tackle Ryan Glasgow and cornerback Patrick Robinson were the two New Orleans players who announced their retirement earlier in the season.

Mandatory Credit: Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports CHRIS HOGAN’S STATS FOR NEW ORLEANS SAINTS THIS SEASON Hogan, who turns 34 on Sunday, appeared in five games for the Saints. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-orleans-saints/] In those five appearances, the veteran-wide receiver made [https://sports.yahoo.com/saints-wr-chris-hogan-retires-235041517.html] 68 offensive snaps and 25 special team snaps. The former New England Patriots player also grabbed four of the eight passes sent his way for 41 yards and a touchdown catch. Seeing his name announced on the team sheet for Saints surprised many, but in his five games for the Saints, he proved he was a decent utility player. Before playing for the Saints, Chris played nine years in the NFL. He was largely associated with the New England Patriots [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/new-england-patriots-2/] (49 games in three years) and Buffalo Bills [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/buffalo-bills/] (48 games in four years). WHY IS CHRIS HOGAN RETIRING FROM THE NFL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON? Chris Hogan’s sudden decision to retire from NFL is speculated to be of personal reasons. According to reliable New Orleans journalist Nick Underhill [https://twitter.com/nick_underhill/status/1452010785975279624], the wide receiver did not attend the training session last week as he was away from the team to be with his wife. He had been contemplating this decision to retire for a while now and he has conveyed this to the Saints, according to Nick. Only the official announcement from Chris is left. Now that he has retired, he will have no opposition to return to playing across or fully commit to hanging up his boots. In any case, he’s leaving the NFL on his own terms at this point and we wish Chris Hogan all the best for a successful post-NFL career! Also Read: GOOD NEWS!

<h2 style="text-align: center">Buffalo Bills 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Buffalo Bills were founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL) and joined the ranks of the NFL in 1970 following the NFL-AFL merger. They are the only NFL club that plays its home games in the state of New York. The franchise is owned by Terry and Kim Pegula who picked up the majority ownership tag following the death of the original owner Ralph Wilson back in 2014.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497552 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230195043/buffalo.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
<p style="text-align: center">The franchise won two AFL championships back in 1964 and 1965, and these chips stand as the only major professional sports championships from a team representing Buffalo. Chiefly, the Bills found heightened success between 1990 and 1993 when they appeared in a record-setting four straight Super Bowls. However, they would go on to lose all four games.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">This unparalleled success was followed by a meaningful active playoff drought making them the last NFL franchise and the last in the four major leagues to qualify for a post-season in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. The club seems to have found its footing under Head Coach Sean McDermott however, the Bills still remain the only AFC East team to have never won a Super Bowl.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 campaign of the Buffalo Bills was a resounding success as they improved on their 2019 record of 10-6 by finishing off the regular season with a 13-3 run placing 1st in the AFC East. The Bills beat the Colts 27-24 in the Wild Card Playoffs as well as the Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens 17-3.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">However, the Bills lost the AFC championships match-up to the Kansas City Chiefs 24-28 and faltered to turn in a trip to the Super Bowl.</p>
