Game Predictions | Bills vs. Jets | Week 14
‘Look for this to be a defensive-minded game, with both offensive lines’ weakness in pass protection short-circuiting drives. Josh Allen is better equipped to overcome quick pressure. Mike White is the X-factor. He is not the point guard he was advertised to be. White is closer to a taller Ryan Fitzpatrick with a bigger arm, unafraid to swing for the fences.’

‘Part of the letter read, “I want you to know that I believe that the struggles you go through are challenging, but you have made a difference in me and impacted my actions these past months to continue to do my best and persevere. You have made a difference because the way you play makes me want to play football as a safety or D lineman. You also show me how to be a good teammate and use proper sportsmanship. I know you may not always be in the spotlight, but in my opinion, having good sportsmanship puts you in the spotlight too.”‘

Miller’s injury wrecked Bills’ happy Sunday

Bills coach gives injury update ahead of Jets game: Matt Milano has a chance, 2 players ruled out
‘McDermott did rule out defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and fullback Reggie Gilliam. Phillips suffered a shoulder injury against the Patriots in what is the latest in a string of injuries this season. When he’s been healthy, Phillips has been one of the Bills’ best pass rushers, but he’s only been able to play 10 of the team’s 12 games and a hamstring injury slowed him down for most of November. Gilliam has an ankle injury.’
