‘“We taught him to be humble,” Sony told The Buffalo News this week. “Even though he had skills, we taught him to not think that he was above anybody else, just to play his game and stay humble. And being humble, you can go farther, instead of thinking you’re better than this person or that person. You always have respect for the game and the other people that you’re playing with.”’

Stephen Hauschka on his struggles, what he’s doing to fix his game and Bills’ success
‘Hauschka has the lowest field-goal percentage (71.4) of his 12-year NFL career with 20 or more attempts; he is 15 of 21. He also has missed two of 28 extra-point tries. The Bills are 9-3 and playing one of their most important games in years against the 10-2 Baltimore Ravens on Sunday at New Era Field. Time to step things up.’

Bills Mailbag: Should Sean McDermott be getting more consideration for NFL’s coach of the year?
‘The Bills simply don’t get as much love nationally as some other teams, although the win on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys opened some eyes. There are other strong candidates, too, starting with who will be on the opposite sideline Sunday. John Harbaugh has the Ravens rolling right now. In the NFC, Kyle Shanahan has the 49ers tied for the best record in their division and conference. It would be hard to argue against either of those as choices.’
Roth: Baltimore Ravens offense suits superstar QB Lamar Jackson perfectly
‘“I don’t know what it means exactly, if it means are they going to solve him as a player or shut him down, no I don’t think that’ll ever happen until he retires because he’s just that good,’’ Harbaugh said of Jackson, who has accounted for 32 touchdowns, 25 passing and seven rushing.’

Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen have put draft doubts behind them as they prepare for Ravens-Bills showdown
‘Allen’s rise has not been quite so meteoric. In the early weeks of this season, Buffalo columnists lamented that for every step he took forward, he seemed to take one back. But over the last seven games, he’s cut back on mistakes and become a genuine problem for opposing defenses.’
Eisenberg: Greg Roman Returns to Buffalo as NFL’s Hottest Offensive Mind
‘From the outside and in hindsight, Roman’s firing just two games into the next season certainly looks like a quick hook, less than fair. But everyone has benefitted in the long run. The Bills’ new regime is faring well; they’re 9-3 this season. Roman also is in a better place, orchestrating an offense built around the NFL’s most electric player.’

Bills’ Josh Allen doesn’t consider Ravens game ‘huge,’ has no tips on rushing for Lamar Jackson
‘Allen downplaying the matchup is a smart move, no matter what is at stake for the Bills Sunday. Buffalo hasn’t won 10 games in a season since 1999 and has its best team since 1995, when the team started 8-3 and last won a playoff game. The Bills haven’t started a season 10-3 or better since an 11-2 start in 1991, when the franchise reached the second of four consecutive Super Bowls.’
Ravens at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘Something that will help the Bills more than other defenses vs. the Ravens is they have very athletic linebackers in Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmunds. Not that they can chase Jackson down, but they can maybe string him out more to take away cut-back lanes and use the sideline as a defender if he does get around the edge.’
