Bills activate CB Josh Norman from injured reserve

‘The Bills brought in Norman to compete for the starting job opposite of Tre’Davious White and provide competition with last year’s starter, Levi Wallace. But Norman’s injury put that on hold and Wallace kept his starting spot.’

Thad’s Three Things: Bills at Raiders

‘All the ingredients are here for a game where a team just comes out flat. It happens to everyone once or twice a season. Over the course of 16 games, the energy is just not going to be there for all of them. A flat game isn’t necessarily a lost game, but it is when unexpected things can happen.’

High-powered Bills offense has origins in milkshakes and tobacco

‘According to Allen, Brian Daboll’s competitive nature began years ago. “He was a younger guy and was chewing tobacco and made a bet with some of his other coaches that he’d stop. And he was going to stop but he wanted to win that bet really bad and stopped cold turkey; that’s just the type of person he is,” says Allen. “If I make him a bet, no matter what it is, we’ll throw in cheap bets like a milkshake or a Gatorade that you can’t do this, he’s like, I’m going to do it.”‘

‘Buffalo running backs Devin Singletary and Zack Moss both score as the Bills rack up 150-plus rushing yards.

‘So far this season, the Bills’ rushing defense (106 yards per game) ranks 24th in the NFL while the passing ‘D’ (275 yards) is 27th. Those 26 points and 381 yards per game rank 16th and 21st in the league, respectively.’

Take Five: Ball control key to Bills staying unbeaten

‘Coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier have been preaching improved fundamentals and better gap integrity up front. But it’s entirely possible the issue has as much to do with the Bills having more players who are built for speed and open-field pursuit than mixing it up in the trenches. This will be a game that will put their muscle to the test.’
