‘Tyler Bass had a very busy game today. He scored all of the Bills points of the game. Bass went 6-8 on field goals and kicked a new career-long 53-yard field goal. With six field goals made, he tied the franchise record for most field goals made in one game (Steve Christie -10/20/96). His eight field goal attempts are the most in one game in franchise history and the most by a rookie in the NFL since the 1970 merger. He tied three other kickers for the most by any player in that time span.’

‘New York rolled up 193 yards and 10 points on their first 30 offensive plays. On their last 22 plays from scrimmage they gained just 25 total yards. The Jets were stuck in neutral for the entire second half. On five second-half possessions they managed just four total net yards, with three of those five possessions going for zero or negative yardage.’

‘”It’s amazing,” Bass said. “I just couldn’t have done it without the guys up front, couldn’t have done it without (long snapper) Reid (Ferguson), Bojo, the coaches for believing in me. But, yeah, it’s a good feeling that we won. That’s most important. I know I got some things to clean up but other than that I was very proud of what happened.”‘

‘Cornerback Tre’Davious White (back), linebacker Matt Milano (pec) and cornerback Cam Lewis (wrist) were all listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report. All three will be active for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.’

‘”I woke up [Saturday] morning and we had a positive test and then our plan went into action,” McDermott explained. “Give a lot of credit to, Nate Brzeski our trainer, leading that effort. Then we got on the phone early [Saturday] morning – Brandon, Nate, and I put our plan into action. We pushed things back as you probably already aware, to give us more time to make the adjustments we needed to make. The players were phenomenal, it was really cool to watch them come in. Obviously, they wanted to know what was going on and by then they had heard some of it, but we tried to do a great job of communicating. Then we went out there and had what we call a mock game or dress rehearsal practice. They cared first and foremost for their teammates, but they were unfazed after that. To come here, we made adjustments here as well with the meetings, we had virtual meetings last night. In terms of the meals, the guys had to come in and grab their meal in a to-go bag and went back to their rooms. Again, a truly professional effort and a character win for us.”‘
