Sean Kirst: On a day filled with hope, Bills fans will see a tribute to a man who embraced it

‘That was Jaron “J.B.” Bruzgul, in tailgating glory. He was a regular at Bills Stadium since childhood, an admirer of special teams maestro Steve Tasker and the kind of season ticket holder who showed up for December games in the bleakest conditions in the hardest years. Thinking of it all, eight high school friends – tight with him for more than a quarter-century – pooled their money this week and raised the billboard. It will be visible to thousands Saturday as the Bills host the Colts in the first playoff game since 1996 in Orchard Park.’

Bills elevate WR Duke Williams, OL Jordan Devey from practice squad vs. Colts

‘Williams hasn’t played a snap for the Bills since last season’s 22-19 overtime playoff loss against the Houston Texans. He was featured in that game, catching four passes on 10 targets for 49 yards. The Bills realized after that game they needed to add more playmakers around quarterback Josh Allen and traded for Stefon Diggs about two months later.’

Peter King explains voting Bills’ Cole Beasley as All-Pro

‘“Cole Beasley is the slot receiver on my All-Pro team this year,” King told Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. “This year the Associated Press asked voters to vote for three wide receivers. They didn’t put any limit, any restrictions on how you vote for them and look I probably would have voted as my third receiver for somebody like Tyreek Hill, but I like to put my votes for players as if I was going to play a game and so I want a slot receiver on my team. And Cole Beasley led all NFL slot receivers in yardage this year and he was the most effective, efficient receiver in that ping-pong ball type area.”’

Five takes: Bills looking for first playoff win since ‘95 as they take on ex-Bill Reich, Colts

‘One sign that may point to Beasley being able to suit up this weekend is the Bills’ reluctance to add newly signed WR Kenny Stills to the active roster. Stills was likely brought in as insurance if Beasley was out this week or beyond, but will remain on Buffalo’s practice squad, while WR Duke Williams was promoted from the PS along with OL Jordan Devey. WR Isaiah McKenzie was limited on Tuesday and Wednesday but got a full practice in on Thursday and appears set to play. If Beasley can’t go, expect to see a lot of McKenzie in the slot.’
