‘“Just growing up in a big household, my mom and dad worked really hard to make ends meet, and they did and they raised us the way that they could,” Johnson, the middle child of seven siblings, said while roaming the store aisles. “But every opportunity we had to go to events at the church and the park or when trucks came outside of our community to give back, we were one of the first in line. And I just got used to that. I figured that was a way of people giving back and helping the less fortunate, and I feel like I can do the same. I just want to be able to give them a gift and spark a light in them.”’
How we see it: News writers predict Bills vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
‘The Bills have gone all season without back-to-back losses, and they’ve alternated wins and losses the last eight games. However, part of that pattern had to do with the team on the other side, and now the Bills face their toughest opponent after a loss. Buffalo’s run defense has a lot of correcting to do, but that’s not as prominent an issue here: Tampa Bay’s 92.6 rushing yards per game ranks 25th in the league. Instead, Tom Brady and the Buccaneers’ offense are more likely to take to the air, and it’s worked out well. They’re first in passing yards (311.1) and points (31.4) per game. It’ll be a huge test for the Bills’ defense as a whole. Buffalo’s offense also needs to reestablish its identity. I think it’ll be close, but the Buccaneers will put together a more complete game. Tampa Bay, 31-27.’

Bills vs Buccaneers: Here’s what Sean McDermott and players are saying
‘“We’re extremely hungry,” he said. “I think there obviously is a sense of urgency of what we need to do. But there’s no panic in our locker room. We’re extremely united right now with what we need to do. We’ve had a couple of really good days of practice and walkthroughs and we’re looking forward to going out there and getting a chance to play against the defending world champs and arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game.”’
