‘Hyde is a first-time selection to the league’s annual all-star game, which is scheduled for Jan. 28 in Orlando, Fla. McCoy has been chosen for the sixth time in his nine NFL seasons and Incognito for the fourth in his 11 years in the league. All three were picked as backups.’

Tre’Davious White says Bills beating Pats would be ‘best revenge ever’
‘”I’m not a guy that’s going to do a cheap shot after the whistle or nothing. I’m going to play the game the way it’s supposed to be played and respect the game. Going in there and winning would be the best revenge ever.”‘
Every out-of-town game that can help the Bills in Week 16
‘The Bills and Ravens are both 8-6. If they both win out, the Ravens have the edge, but if they finish 9-7 with the Bills beating the Dolphins, the Bills have the edge. The Bills need a Ravens loss in either of their last two games, against the Colts (3-11) or Bengals (5-9).’
Think football in the snow game was tough? Shooting photos wasn’t easy, either.
‘The start of the game was crazy. Every photographer was asking each other the same question. “Can you focus? What settings are you using?” It was impossible to see, let alone focus.’
LeSean McCoy leads two other Bills selected to the Pro Bowl
‘In his first season in Buffalo, safety Micah Hyde has been selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his five-year career. He is tied for fifth in the league with five interceptions this season, a career high.’
Bills focus on winning, but fans should enjoy Buffalo being in playoff conversation
‘ Tennessee (8-6), Buffalo (8-6), Baltimore (8-6) and the Los Angeles Chargers (7-7) are presently in the wild-card race. Of these teams, the Ravens have the easiest path to a postseason invitation: their final two opponents (Indianapolis and Cincinnati) are a combined 8-20.’
What Buffalo Bills’ Tre’Davious White said about Pro Bowl snub
‘White has every reason to feel snubbed. Buffalo has depended on White to be their No. 1 cornerback as a rookie and he’s thrived in the role. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, White is tied for fourth in the league in interceptions (4) and third in the league in passes defensed (18).’
Tre’Davious White, Jordan Poyer lead Buffalo Bills’ biggest Pro Bowl snubs
‘Tre’Davious White is a legitimate NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate, but he was somehow overlooked for the 2018 Pro Bowl. White is currently tied for fourth in the league in interceptions (4) and only Darius Slay and Casey Hayward have more passes defensed than White (18). Analytics also support the notion that White was snubbed for the Pro Bowl. The rookie cornerback is Pro Football Focus’ No. 3 CB in the league. White may have been snubbed this year, but he’ll make many Pro Bowls if he continues to play at this level in his career.’
Micah Hyde, Richie Incognito and LeSean McCoy selected to 2018 Pro Bowl
‘Among the notable omissions from the Pro Bowl list are safety Jordan Poyer and cornerback Tre’Davious White. White has four interceptions and nine pass breakups during his rookie season. Both of those numbers are good for top 10 in the respective categories. Poyer, meanwhile, has also been an integral part of the Bills’ rebuilt secondary.’
Bills, Tre’Davious White taking high road with Patriots Rob Gronkowski after dirty hit
‘But with the Bills getting set for a rematch with the Patriots this week, White is singing a different tune. He didn’t miss any games and he doesn’t plan on making this game about him.’
8 things we learned about the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills’ Week 16 opponent
‘Even a great team like the Patriots need to catch a few breaks sometimes. Late in the game, the Patriots were able to pull off their win by catching two breaks. First, defensive back Sean Davis dropped what should have been an interception early in the Patriots’ drive that resulted in a touchdown. Following their touchdown, the Patriots caught a second break when Steelers tight end Jesse James could not “survive the ground” on what appeared to be the game-winning touchdown for Pittsburgh.’
McCoy, Hyde, Incognito elected to Pro Bowl
‘Hyde won the fan voting for safeties in the AFC which was announced this weekend.’
McDermott explains why Preston Brown made an appearance on Sunday’s onside kick
‘”A lot of the kicks we see go up in the air and we need a wall, so that’s really Preston’s role. That said though, he’s tasked with the responsibility also when the ball’s kicked, coming to field it. He came up a little bit short yesterday, but that’s something we’ll work on and look at moving forward,” McDermott said.’
Guregian: Bills should plan to hurt Rob Gronkowski and Patriots with a win
‘Perhaps the Ryan-coached Bills would be out for blood. Maybe they would be headed after Gronk or Tom Brady to even the score, and that would cloud their priorities. McDermott’s team figures to be a different story, even if White and everyone in the Bills neighborhood made some not-so subtle threats toward No. 87 in the aftermath of the dirty hit.’
Bills’ Tre’Davious White: Have ‘moved on’ from Rob Gronkowski hit
‘”As I’ve had time to think about it, I knew he wasn’t that type of player,” White told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday. “We just honed in and moved on from it. But I get the film Sunday, and the best way that I can handle that situation and just try to go in there and just get a big old ‘W’ in their stadium and try to help our playoff chances.”‘
