Allen OK’d to start for Bills vs. Carolina

‘If the season ended today, the Bills would have a playoff spot but, and this is bizarre, there are scenarios in Week 15 where Buffalo could win Sunday and still be knocked out of the seven postseason qualifiers due to tiebreakers.’

Q&A: Bills linebacker Tyler Matakevich ready to face college coach

‘We were doing Oklahoma drills – I mean, you can’t do Oklahoma drills anymore, but back in the day, we could. We did Oklahoma and (I) made a big hit. And I think that sort explained itself. So we were definitely excited. And he brought me in when he was there after that. I mean, I was definitely bummed though, because it’s crazy. He found me when I was at Milford, and then when I actually got to Temple, he went to the Giants for a year. Then, the following year, he came back to take the head (coach) job. So it was like crazy emotions – excited, then sad, then excited again.’

Josh Allen is good to go according to McDermott, but Dion Dawkins tests positive for COVID

‘“I’ll start with what the medical team has shared with me and that’s that they’re comfortable with where he’s at and he continues to trend in the right direction,” McDermott said. “And then what I’ve seen through my own eyes at practice, just (Thursday), he seems to be able to execute the job description that goes along with the quarterback position.”’

Bills QB Allen Expected To Start Sunday Against Carolina

‘That’s welcome news for the 7-6 Bills, who are fighting for an AFC wild card after losing three of their last four games. Allen nearly led the Bills to a comeback win over the Bucs, passing for 308 yards and gaining 109 on the ground.’

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen expected to start Sunday despite sprained left foot

‘McDermott first shared Allen’s status on his weekly radio appearance on WGR in Buffalo. The quarterback was a full participant in practice Friday and has been listed with no injury designation. He was limited in a walk-through Wednesday and at practice Thursday. Allen did not miss a snap in the overtime loss in Tampa after getting injured in the fourth quarter, and he has not missed a start because of injury since his rookie year.’

Bills LT Dion Dawkins tests positive for Covid-19 again

‘Because Dawkins is vaccinated, if he is asymptomatic and provides a negative test he can play on Sunday due to the NFL’s recently updated Covid rules. If not, once again the Bills will be forced to shuffle around their offensive line.’

Mayor Brown: Orchard Park safest option for Bills stadium

‘“[Building downtown] will add a billion dollars of costs, residents and businesses will be displaced, properties will have to be acquired and it could take two to three years longer. I think that potentially puts the Bills in Erie County at risk. I don’t want to risk losing the team,” he said. “[Building in Orchard Park] would be less expensive, it would be quicker, it would be easier. I think that’s the way to keep the Bills in our community.”’

Allen to start Sunday for Bills, Dawkins might be out with Covid

‘As of right now it would appear Dion Dawkins will not play in the game, but there is a possibility that could change. Dawkins has tested positive for Covid-19 for a second time, but is fully vaccinated and under the NFL Covid protocols he could still play Sunday.’

Bills confident in Gabriel Davis after week 14 outing

‘Davis has a touchdown reception in back-to-back games for the first time this season and the second year in a row. Before these last two matchups, his previous one came in Week 8. Four of his five receptions against Tampa Bay came in the second half, including a TD that brought Buffalo within three points.’
