‘“I thought they should be called for one, quite honestly, on Josh,” McDermott said. “I’m really frustrated that that doesn’t get called. That’s clear as day to see that. I just want to protect my quarterback.”’

Bills’ Tre’Davious White leaves Thanksgiving game vs. Saints with knee injury
‘White’s left leg seemed to get caught in the turf as he was sliding in coverage against Saints receiver Marquez Callaway. White immediately started hopping on one leg and went down. After a few moments he walked off on his own power and went directly into the medical tent. He was visibly upset when he emerged and walked directly into the locker room and put a towel over his face.’
Dawson Knox sets Buffalo Bills single-season franchise record vs. Saints
‘The previous record of six had been held by Scott Chandler, Pete Metzelaars and Jay Riesmersma.’
Five takeaways: Bills bounce back with big win over depleted Saints on Thanksgiving
‘It wasn’t Josh Allen’s best day, as he finished the win with two more interceptions, bringing his season total to 10, which equals his total from a year ago. But despite periods of struggle, much of which was due to another dismal effort from a banged-up offensive line, namely franchise left tackle Dion Dawkins, the Bills franchise quarterback made a number of good throws while completing over 80% of his passes and four touchdowns.’
Sullivan: Can’t give Bills credit for another win against an overmatched foe
‘But this has been a maddening team to judge. I picked them to reach the Super Bowl this season. When they ripped the Chiefs at Arrowhead to get to 4-1, they looked like a team that would be favored in all but one of their remaining games and go 13-4 at the very least.’

The Saints’ offensive struggles come into acute focus with Drew Brees on hand in loss to Bills
‘The Bills don’t exactly resemble the team that won four straight games in September and October by an average margin of 28.8 points to establish themselves as the AFC’s early Super Bowl favorite. But they played far better Thursday.’
Bills Mafia means family, and giving is a way of life for Buffalo fans
‘“I think it’s a fun way to see your impact as a fan done in a tangible way,” said Reid, whose Bills merchandise company 26 Shirts passed the $1 million donation mark last December “The way I look at it is it’s when all the fans are kicking in and we’re watching those donation totals go higher and higher, it really is like ‘yeah, I’m a Bills fan.’ And this is all of us working together to show our love for the team.”’
Allen Throws For 4 TDs As Bills Beat Hobbled Saints, 31-6
‘Stefon Diggs caught seven passes for 74 yards and a touchdown, and running back Matt Breida turned a short pass into a 23-yard score.’
Tre’Davious White leaves Buffalo Bills’ win over New Orleans Saints with knee injury
‘When White is the nearest defender this season, the All-Pro corner is allowing a 50.8% completion percentage and 58.9 passer rating, both fourth-best among defensive backs with 50-plus targets this season, per NFL Next Gen Stats.’
Saints vs. Bills score: Josh Allen throws four touchdowns as Buffalo dominates New Orleans on Thanksgiving
‘They know how to play offense. Josh Allen got himself into trouble a few times in the first half, forcing some short passes and getting picked twice as a result, but otherwise, he slung it with both authority and accuracy, taking everything the Saints gave him and, thus, feeding Stefon Diggs and Dawson Knox in crucial spots. The ground game was forgettable once again, but Allen helped out a lot, and the truth is they never really needed a rushing attack to stay ahead. Defensively, they were just as impressive. Tre’Davious White’s early exit with a knee injury doesn’t bode well beyond Week 12, but Ed Oliver and Co. winning in the trenches never allowed the depth-tested Saints to establish momentum, rendering their run game nonexistent and forcing Sean Payton to rely on things like fake punts to generate movement.’
Football Fans Are Drooling Over Stefon Diggs’s Route vs. Marshon Lattimore
‘On a 2nd and goal from the Saints’s 5-yard line during the Saints-Bills game, Diggs took a few steps forward before running inward and making a sharp left slant that left Lattimore lost in his tracks for a touchdown reception.’
Bills vs. Saints final score, results: Josh Allen racks up four TDs in blowout win over New Orleans
‘Buffalo (7-4) earned a resounding 31-6 win over New Orleans (5-6) as it exercised complete control of the game. The Bills outgained the Saints 361-190 for the contest and didn’t allow New Orleans to score until the fourth quarter.’
Bills feast in win over Saints on Thanksgiving night
‘On the defensive side of the football, the Buffalo unit shut down a depleted Saints offense, limiting New Orleans to just 190 yards to total offense. This included just 44 yards-against on the ground after Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ran all over the Bills for 185 yards and four touchdowns.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Saints
‘The Bills only cashed in two of their four red zone trips into touchdowns, including getting no points at all after Allen had the ball deflected that became an interception.’
