‘Allen rising to the occasion more times than not is the primary reason for the Bills’ 7-3 record. It isn’t because of their non-existent running game. It certainly isn’t because of the shockingly soft play of their defense.’

Bills’ Stefon Diggs explains what he loves about ‘Superman’ Josh Allen
‘“When you got a new quarterback, he likes things done a certain kind of way and you kind of got to get used to him and he’s got to get used to you,” Diggs told Trotter and Wyche. “So that’s one thing I attribute to Josh. He put a lot of time in as far as not having an offseason. When he hit training camp, we try to hit the ground running. We had so many Zoom calls and we had plenty of talks, but when we got on to that practice field it was rep after rep trying to get better. We’re still doing that now, but specifically in training camp he made it a point of emphasis that he always strives to be perfect. That’s something that I love about him. He’s super hard on himself. So, for me, I tell Superman you can’t be Superman everyday, all day. He tries to be perfect so I try to be there to kind of meet him in the middle and be like, ‘It’s alright. If I drop a ball, I’m not going to apologize, so don’t apologize to me.’”’

In limited playing time, Bills CB Dane Jackson has delivered some big plays
‘“I know our secondary coach John Butler spent a lot of time with both he and Daryl on Saturday night just making sure they were up to speed on the game plan but neither one of those guys had really any reps so for Dane to go out and perform at the level that he did against some very, very good wide receivers it’s very impressive, very impressive.”’
Bills DE Mario Addison opens up about honoring his late brother
‘“It broke me down to like my lowest point and I really had a hard time with dealing with it. I did everything I possibly could to try to keep a clear head but I couldn’t. Even to this day I’m not even that social as I used to be,” Addison said.’
