‘Allen’s fourth season featured the kind of things Buffalo Bills fans have become accustomed to. Thirty-five touchdown passes. A whopping 762 rushing yards. And end-of-game marches to beat Baltimore, Detroit and Miami.’

Damar Hamlin visits teammates at Buffalo Bills facility

Bills Mailbag: If Ken Dorsey leaves for a head coaching job, who’s up next as offensive coordinator?
‘If Dorsey were to leave, Bills quarterbacks coach Joe Brady would figure to at least be considered for the offensive coordinator job. Brady has experience in that position from his time in Carolina, and Josh Allen has spoken fondly of the job Brady has done this season. Reich figures to be back in the NFL next season as an offensive coordinator somewhere. If the Bills did look outside the organization, he would be an intriguing candidate.’
How Bills-inspired Water Buffalo hats help refugees working at Stitch Buffalo
‘Stitch Buffalo’s artisans are considered “consigners,” who make money from the textile art they create, said Dawne Hoeg, the founder and executive director at Stitch. Almost all the money from goods sold out of Stitch’s storefront goes back to the consigners. That’s why making these hats has been so important for the likes of Lung, Basir and Sultana.’

Five Takes: Will Bills win rubber match over depleted Dolphins? Buffalo riding seven-game winning streak entering playoffs
‘Although McDermott heaped praise on Thompson, that doesn’t erase the fact that the rookie QB has proven he has yet to find his footing at the NFL level. The Dolphins have two of the game’s most explosive WRs in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. But if Thompson’s past performance and McDermott and Frazier’s history against first-year QBs are signs of what is to come, the Bills should have no trouble defending against Miami’s neophyte signal caller.’
Brasky: Bills have all the makings of a team of destiny
‘While they may not be as mighty as they could have been with the services of safety Micah Hyde and pass rusher Von Miller at their disposal, both former All-Pros, the Bills have a significant emotional force propelling them as they enter postseason play this week. The impact that momentum and emotions can have on a game is often debated. But in the Bills’ case, it seems that the wave of emotion they’ve been riding for months is as tangible as any such push of momentum we’ve seen.’

‘“Imagine having a really-high high and then hitting rock bottom,” Johnson said. “The hardest part was looking in those kids’ eyes. I had a group that played its rear ends off and basically thought, ‘We are advancing,’ with 13 seconds left. And that’s the last time they touched the field. That’s a hard pill to swallow. But you learn from it. It taught me that, no matter what is going on, keep talking on the sideline, keep coaching, keep preparing for a situation that could come up.”’
