‘”I just knew this was going to be an opportunity for me in the back of the end zone to make a play,” Davis said. “Obviously, that happened. But the team just loved it. They embraced it as if they scored their own touchdown and that’s the type of team we have so I’m happy to be a part of it.”‘

Bills Today | Rookie playmakers earn praise from the quarterback
‘”Yeah, there was no panic,” Allen explained. “It was just a, ‘Let’s go we got to get six.’ We had to go put points up for our defense now and again our guys were cool, calm and collected and we just kind of went out there and did our jobs and that’s really what it comes down to – executing when our name is called, and we had a bunch of guys go through that [on Sunday].”‘
Why Bills fans continue to love Ryan Fitzpatrick, despite playing for division rival
‘“During a dark time, during the drought, he was one of the bright spots for fans,” said Del Reid, the #BillsMafia co-founder and owner of 26 Shirts, explaining the enduring love for Fitzpatrick. “He had that gunslinger mentality.

Maybe that was the game planning. But when you remove Edwards and you put in place this guy who is not afraid to throw the ball, fans were excited to have any kind of vertical passing action going on with the offense.”’

Bills Mailbag: Is Tyler Bass already on a short leash?
‘They’ll bring him home and give him another chance. It’s been interesting to watch coach Sean McDermott’s reaction to Bass’ struggles against the Jets. You can really tell he’s doing all he can to keep the rookie’s confidence up. The Bills made a big decision to go with Bass over veteran Stephen Hauschka, and they desperately don’t want that to blow up on them. Perhaps converting a pair of chip-shot field goals in the fourth quarter against the Jets got Bass on the right track. Until he comes through in the clutch, though, there are going to be serious questions about what the Bills really have at kicker.’
One-on-One Coverage: Bobby Johnson got ‘creative’ to get Bills’ O-line ready for season
‘“What (the pandemic) did is it forced every coach to be creative,” Johnson said. “That’s where I started making some (video) cutups and I’d say, ‘Hey, you’ve heard me reference this type of block. Here’s a little three-play cutup of three perfect examples of that block.’”’
Do not ask for whom the Bills score. They score for thee.
‘And so today I’ll watch the Bills again. When they score, I’ll play the “Shout” song in my mind. And, for three blessed hours, I’ll do my best not to think about the bells tolling all across the continent, and around the world.’

Bills elevate two LBs to roster for Dolphins game, add OL Jonotthan Harrison to PS
‘Harrison, 29, was released by the Jets as the team trimmed their roster down to 53-players. Jets GM Joe Douglas referred to the decision as an “excruciating conversation.” Harrison spent the past three seasons in New York and appeared in 40 games (19 starts) playing mostly at center.
