Leslie Frazier on defending Lamar Jackson

‘In his last five games Jackson is averaging nearly 100 rushing yards per outing, add into that his 30 total TD’s on the season and the Bills defense knows they have plenty to prepare for on Saturday.’

Fans will be allowed at Bills Stadium Saturday

‘The stadium will follow the same guidelines as the first playoff game: 6,700 fans will be allowed in, but only if they test negative for COVID-19. Masks are required and tailgating is not allowed.’

New York State to allow fans for Bills vs. Ravens divisional playoff game

‘”We felt the energy from our fans last Saturday at the stadium and we know our coaches and players appreciated the support on the field. We have worked with the Governor, his team and BioReference to ensure we will host fans again on Saturday night. They have all been great partners in this process. We want to thank our fans for following the safety guidelines, and remind the fans coming Saturday fans to please wear your mask, socially distance and follow the rules. Be safe. Be smart. Be loud!”‘

Bills’ personnel director Dan Morgan named to College Football Hall of Fame’s 2021 class

‘”Just all the hard work, all the sacrifice, all those two-a-days and basically all the work that you put in through college,” Morgan said reflecting on his time at the U. “Just being rewarded with something like this, it’s the pinnacle of what every college person wants to do is make the Hall of Fame. It’s just a really cool honor and it’s still sinking in in a way.”‘

Bills Today | Cole Beasley earns praise for his toughness in the playoffs

‘”I could go on and on about Cole Beasley and what I feel about him and what he’s done for our football team,” Daboll said. “I’m not surprised; he’s a tough, smart, and competitive player for us. A leader who is willing to do whatever he can do to help his football team. Certainly glad and privileged to coach him on our football team, he’s always been really good for us. Kind of been under the radar for many years for his skill set and what he can do. But, I just have so much confidence and trust in him and I wouldn’t expect anything less from someone like him.”‘

Bills show why homefield is so important

‘Indeed, it could be argued that if Saturday afternoon’s game against the Colts had not been played at Bills Stadium, Buffalo’s season might already be over.’

Upon Further Review: Tyler Bass plays off longest rookie field goal as just another kick

‘Think about the magnitude of that request for a second. There was 8:13 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Bills held a 24-16 lead. A made field goal would give the Bills a two-possession lead, and a 97% chance of winning based on win probability. A miss would have given the Colts the ball near midfield, a touchdown and two-point conversion away from tying the AFC wild-card game.’

What we learned from snap counts in Bills’ wild-card win, game ball and more

‘Wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie played just four offensive snaps, while linebacker A.J. Klein played just three defensive snaps. McKenzie had three touchdowns in Week 17 against Miami – two receiving and another on a punt return. Klein, meanwhile, tied for the team lead with five sacks during the regular season. His role has gradually been reduced, however, with the return of linebacker Matt Milano to an every-down role. Milano played 78 of 79 defensive snaps against the Colts.’

Position grades: Matt Milano’s versatility shined vs. Colts

‘The biggest sequence for Milano came on the Bills’ goal-line stand late in the second quarter. Milano stopped a shuffle pass to tight end Trey Burton for 2 yards on a first-and-goal play from the 4. On second and goal from the 2, he filled a hole to stop Nyheim Hines for 1 yard on a direct-snap run off left guard.’
