Tyree Jackson has one last chance to impress Bills’ brass
‘“It’s hard for rookie quarterbacks to come and play in this league — to come in and be comfortable,” McDermott said. “I think he’s gotten more comfortable with each exposure, at least in the games. He’s been in the games in good situational moments, most of them being at the end of games. I’ve seen him grow in those areas for sure.”’

Green Bay Packers HC: Buffalo Bills defense doesn’t get enough recognition
‘“Last year [at] Buffalo we went into that game … with almost a play-not-to-lose mentality. The Bills’ defense doesn’t get enough recognition; they’re much better than I thought. Extremely sound. My mindset is: How do we win as a team. Sometimes you know you have to score a bunch of points. Sometimes it’s, “Hey, if we take care of the ball, I like our chances.” That was one of those games for me. They had a rookie quarterback [Josh Allen]. We went in with the mindset of, “Let’s not turn it over.” We turned it over three times. [But] you don’t get explosive plays unless you call shot plays. If you don’t call them, you probably won’t get them. You’ve still got to be aggressive.”’

There’s been much more to Wade’s journey than meets the eye
‘”It’s been a struggle and a grind every day,” Wade told me while sitting in the stall of one of those not-too-noticeable lockers. “There were definitely times when I doubted myself, internally. I woke up doing a lot of self-talk, just reminding myself why I’m doing this, and just pushing myself to want to keep working every day and just wanting to get better every day. Once the games came around and I got an opportunity to play and I scored a touchdown and made another play, those are the moments that kind of help me to stay motivated and just gives me the strength to keep pushing on because those moments signify that I’m going in the right direction.”‘
