Bills trade Marshall Newhouse to Panthers; sign lineman Jeremiah Sirles

‘The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Sirles has appeared in 30 career games since entering the league as an undrafted free agent with the Chargers in 2014. He worked his way into a starting role as a rookie. He was traded to the Vikings in 2015 and started 10 games for the Vikings in 2016.’

CB Ryan Lewis shines in first Bills start

‘“We went through practice, took a look at what he was doing, took a look at what Lafayette (Pitts) was doing, and just determined that he was our best option at this point,” Frazier said. “Fortunately for us, he stepped up and really played well. We applauded him in our defensive meeting. His first start as a rookie … to play as well as he did on the road says a lot about Ryan.”’

Bills’ Tre’Davious White draws inspiration from young fan battling illness

‘”His battle is way more difficult than my story,” White told The Buffalo News. “That’s why I told them to just leave his name up there, so any day when I’m feeling like I don’t want to practice or do this, I can look up there and it’s somebody that’s going through a way more difficult situation than I’m going through. Because somebody that wanted to be in my shoes, (even though) he really can’t, is just something that I don’t take lightly.”‘

Bills Position Grades: Alexander, Milano joined Hughes’ rush party

‘Defensive line (4.5): The Bills’ front outclassed the Vikings suspect O-line and broke the game open with the first two sack-fumbles. Star Lotulelei only was needed for 24 snaps but collapsed the line early on. Murphy made a superb extra-effort play on his sack, picking himself off the ground to get to the QB.’

Sean Kirst: Speaking of Bills upsets, remember ’68 jolt to Joe Namath’s Jets?

‘Those Bills, less than two years removed from reaching the American Football League championship game, were 0-3 and struggling mightily. They were 19-point underdogs at kickoff, a gap of almost three full touchdowns, a squad that seemed to have little chance going into that Sunday’s game against the Jets, a gleaming team of destiny led by quarterback Joe Namath.’

Was Bills historic upset win a fluke? 8 reasons why Buffalo could be for real

‘Rookie quarterback Josh Allen is getting loads of headlines after his amazing performance in his first road start, and rightfully so, but defensive end Jerry Hughes may have been the Bills’ best player on the field against the Vikings. When you have a defensive end mentioned in the same sentence as Khalil Mack it means you have one heck of a player. Hughes was a man possessed Sunday and made Vikings left tackle Riley Reiff look like a college-level offensive lineman. He was blowing past his blocks almost every play throughout the game. When it wasn’t Hughes getting to Kirk Cousins it was his pressure that helped spring teammates. The addition of Trent Murphy on the other side and some new names on the interior to help Kyle Williams are already paying big dividends for the Bills.’

Panthers trade for Bills OT Marshall Newhouse

‘Buffalo signed Newhouse to a one-year contract in March that included a $1 million base salary and a $500,000 signing bonus. His trade could elevate Conor McDermott into the top backup offensive-tackle role for the Bills behind starters Dion Dawkins and Jordan Mills.’
