‘Allen has not missed any games since the injury, and he has said that even if he is limited in practice, it “doesn’t impact (his) preparation.” Last month, he acknowledged he likely would manage the injury for a bit of time. He has been listed on the injury report ever since the Jets game, but had been listed as a full participant each day the last three weeks.’

Jim Kubiak: How tight end and running back high-low concept helped Bills QB Josh Allen against Dolphins
‘He can run, throw, lead and, most importantly, function at an extraordinary mental level with the game on the line. Despite mistakes, he defies norms. Allen is able to play through the elements because of his incredible arm strength, and his uncanny ability to run is a marvel every time he takes off. His poise and ability to think and react under pressure at pivotal moments in the game are becoming legendary.’
Erik Brady: This is not the first time Bills fans pelted opposing players with snowballs. Just ask Chuck Foreman
‘That game came 47 years ago today. Minnesota Vikings running back Chuck Foreman had just scored his fourth touchdown of the day, in the third quarter, when a snowball spattered on his helmet, sending a piece of ice into his eye. He came away with blurred vision, and Vikings coach Bud Grant took him out of the game. It cost Foreman a shot at some history.’

Weather outside looks frightful for Bills vs. Bears weekend

Bills’ Taron Johnson shines, Tre’Davious White returning to form vs. Dolphins (Encouraged/worried)
‘Miami’s lead back finished the night with 136 yards on 17 carries (8.0 YPC). Considering the success that he was having, it’s somewhat stunning that Mike McDaniel did not make it a priority to give him more carries.’

And they turned it into a bonanza — drafting quarterback Josh Allen at No. 7 and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds at No. 16.’

Bills coaches react to playoff berth, multiple game plans for weather and slowing down Justin Fields
‘”It’s so hard to sit back and reflect because you go from playing that game on a Saturday to coming in on a Monday in preparation for another Saturday game,” Frazier said. “We’re all proud of the fact we made the playoffs again. But there’s more. So I don’t think any of us has sat around and thought a whole lot about that achievement, although it’s quite an achievement.”‘
‘I’m not where I want to be:’ Tre White is playing every snap for the Bills, but still sees hard work ahead
‘”These things are different, everybody’s different,” White said. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of support around me, a lot of great people, a lot of great trainers to help me along the way. A lot of great teammates, too. So, I’m not where I want to be. It’s still a work in progress, too. I continue to work and do rehab each and every day on top of the football stuff, too. Once I got back into football, the rehab got kind of harder because I got to kind of lay back on it and kind of focus on football too. So, it’s been kind of hard to continue on rehabbing and focusing on ball, too, to be better at my craft. I’ve got a lot a lot of support around me, so it’s OK.”‘
