‘“We always say, ‘Shaves’ does what he’s supposed to do, and he’s where he needs to be when he needs to be there,” Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady said. “And that accountability and that trust, that’s critical.”’

Stefon Diggs is next test for a Bills defense that needs to prove it can stop top offenses
‘The hype around this game will pit Allen against Maye and Diggs against his former team, but this is bigger than individual matchups. For the Bills’ offense, it must protect the football and avoid penalties. It has committed 12 turnovers over the last five games. Allen will be able to throw against the Patriots. Dalton Kincaid, the Bills’ top target, had a season-high 108 yards in the first meeting. There also should be more running lanes open for James Cook because the Patriots are missing their best defensive tackle, Milton Williams.’
Bills may be without top cornerback Christian Benford against Patriots
‘Christian Benford could not practice Friday with the Bills because of a toe injury that he suffered one day earlier. The team is optimistic it will not be a long-term issue for Benford, McDermott told reporters Friday, but it’s too soon for the team to know if its No. 1 cornerback can face the Patriots.’
Bills long snapper Reid Ferguson climbs record book
‘With Sunday’s game, Ferguson will surpass Steve Christie and move into second place in team history for consecutive games played. Christie, a placekicker, played 144 consecutive games for Buffalo.’
Bills face major CB concern as star player added to latest injury report
‘Cornerback Christian Benford suffered a toe injury during practice Thursday and will not practice Friday. Obviously, that’s a titanic injury for the Bills as Benford has been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL during the second half of this season.’
Why newest Bills wide receiver believes his time to shine is coming
‘“No man, I’m extremely blessed, I’m thankful for this opportunity, thankful for the Saints for working with me on this,” the 12th-year wide receiver said.’
Bills’ defense gets bad news as red-hot cornerback suffers injury days before facing Patriots
‘Benford is coming off his two best games of the season against the Steelers and the Bengals. He had interceptions in both games and returned a fumble for a touchdown against the Steelers. His interception for a touchdown against Cincinnati was the key play in the game that helped Buffalo come from behind to win.’
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen to become a father, Hailee Steinfeld announces pregnancy
‘In the video, Allen is seen kissing Steinfeld’s stomach. It ends with the couple holding hands while panning to a small snowman. The pregnancy news was part of a round-up of her 29 favorite moments from the past year in honor of her 29th birthday.’
Bills, Patriots set for season-defining showdown in Foxborough
‘A Patriots win will lock up the division title and knock the Bills from the top spot for the first time since 2019, when New England won for the 11th consecutive year. A Bills win keeps their hopes to claim the division title for the sixth straight season alive and strengthens the team’s chances to secure a postseason berth in the coming weeks.’
Allen wins AFC Offensive Player of the Week for third time this season
‘It marked Allen’s 50th career game with both a rushing and passing touchdown, the most in NFL history. Additionally, Allen is the first player in NFL history to have at least 250 passing yards, 75 rushing yards, three touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown in two career games, having accomplished the feat a year ago in Week 14, 2024.’
Bills looking to bow up to halt Patriots' 11-game winning streak, keep AFC East hopes alive
‘Four games remain, but the Bills need a win to even have a chance at winning their sixth consecutive AFC East championship. The New England Patriots steal back their crown with an 11th consecutive win Sunday.’
