‘But any thoughts he belonged in this season’s MVP conversation subsided when he tossed interceptions on three of four consecutive pass attempts, two in the second quarter and one in the third.’

‘“I allude to it every time I talk about him – every single play you see him doing the right thing,” Allen said of Singletary. “When you’ve got a guy that just wants to do the right thing and help the team win, typically those guys are going to make the plays when they’re called upon, and he’s been really big for us the last few weeks and we’re going to need him going forward and he knows that.’

‘“Ed made three great plays in a row,” defensive tackle Harrison Phillips said. “Obviously it’s full team defense, but Ed’s got some freaky things to him where he can take over a game himself, and obviously everyone’s got to be doing their job to play great team defense.”’

‘The rookie defensive end got his first sack since Week 5 at Kansas City in the first quarter. Rousseau forced a fumble that the Bills recovered at the Atlanta 18 and turned into their second touchdown of the game.’

‘Forget about the No. 1 seed. Tennessee will lock it up with a win over Houston next week. So the next best alternative for the Bills arguably would be to earn the No. 3 seed and play No. 6 Las Vegas. That happens if Cleveland upsets Cincinnati and the Raiders beat the Chargers. If Cleveland wins and the Chargers beat Las Vegas, then it’s No. 3 Buffalo vs. No. 6 Indianapolis. The No. 4 seed is not a bad spot. Yes, the Bills would have to go to Tennessee in the divisional round. But they’d avoid the Colts, the Chiefs and the red-hot Bengals in the divisional round.’

‘On the Bills’ second drive of the half, and after the three picks, they took to the ground. They ran the ball on 10 of 11 plays, with Singletary and Allen doing the work. Singletary had two 20-yard runs in the game, one on this drive.’

‘McDermott also kept up his aggressive approach, which he showed last week against New England.’
