Two Bills Drive

‘Spencer Brown, the Bills’ right tackle, is dealing with an injury to his right shoulder. He played through the pain and discomfort for most of the second half in Houston, until the medical staff informed coach Sean McDermott before the final drive that Brown had to be pulled from the game. Brown struggled mightily while trying to block Texans edge rusher Will Anderson Jr., who finished with 2½ sacks.’

‘The troubling part of the offensive game plan is the seeming lack of in-game adjustments from Brady while Allen was getting roughed up.’

‘They debuted three designs for infants and toddlers, inspired by the Buffalo Bills. The bamboo pajamas are being sold at 30 Tops locations.’

‘Actors and executives stayed for another four days after the premiere to be in the community. There was a meet-and-greet for fans at Annie’s Hallmark store in West Seneca with about 550 people in a line that wrapped around the Southgate Plaza for hours. The actors returned to East Aurora where multiple scenes were filmed to thank the businesses and residents. They also visited patients and parents at Oishei Children’s Hospital, and on Monday volunteered with the Buffalo Bills to pack 600 Thanksgiving food bags at FeedMore WNY.’

‘Walker is a lifelong Bills fan, who grew up 400 miles from Buffalo in Montreal. He watched games with his dad during the prime of Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed. When Walker left Montreal in 2001 to pursue an acting career in California, he took his passion for the Bills with him. “The Bills are my adopted NFL team. I love the Bills and they still have a special place in my heart.”‘

‘Since the start of the 2023 season, the Bills are 11-12 on the road, including the postseason. Even while accepting that one of those losses in last year’s regular-season finale at New England meant nothing, the evidence is clear: Take the Bills out of Orchard Park, and they’re an average – or worse – football team.’

‘Wide receiver Tyrell Shavers had four catches for 90 yards during the Buffalo Bills’ Week 11 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Just four days later, Shavers played just 26 of the Bills’ 66 offensive snaps Thursday night in a 23-19 loss to the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.’

‘Billieve it or not, I smiled often previewing the syrupy movie shot in Western New York. I suspect every member of Bills Mafia will, too.’
