Bills’ Josh Allen clarifies perceived dig at former teammates

‘”I know there’s a lot of people talking out there, again, I’m not trying to tear down anybody,” Allen said on Wednesday. “I’ve loved everybody that I’ve played with, and you don’t have to tear other people down to build each other up. And we’re building each other up right now and that’s all we’re trying to do and trying to stay together as a team. We’re really caring about each other and everybody in this building’s got that feeling.”‘

Josh Allen Clarifies Comment That Was Perceived As a Jab at Stefon Diggs

‘”I know there’s a lot of people talking out there, again, I’m not trying to tear down anybody,” Allen said. “I’ve loved everybody that I’ve played with, and you don’t have to tear other people down to build each other up. And we’re building each other up right now and that’s all we’re trying to do and trying to stay together as a team. We’re really caring about each other and everybody in this building’s got that feeling.”‘

Josh Allen is tired of answering Stefon Diggs questions

‘”You know what I mean,” Allen said. “I love 14 [Diggs]. I still do, but everyone wants to keep making this thing a thing and we’re so focused on what’s going on inside of our building and that’s the only thing we’re caring about right now.”‘

Bills don’t need to rush injured defensive stars back into lineup

‘And while fans would love to see Bernard and Johnson back, their defense has shown they can more than hold their own while they await the return of their stars. Ja’Marcus Ingram has been fantastic in place of Johnson, picking off two passes and having a pick-six against the Dolphins. Dorian Williams and Baylon Spector have been very good replacements in the middle of the field, and the Bills have the best cornerback tandem in football with Christian Benford and Rasul Douglas both playing out of their minds. Buffalo doesn’t need to rush this, especially because you want to make sure everyone is healthy for January, not October.’

Josh Allen sets another NFL record

‘Allen 23-of-30 for 263 yards and four touchdowns in the Bills’ 47-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the first time since 2007 that a quarterback threw four first-half touchdown passes in the first half of a Monday night game – Ben Roethlisberger was the last to do so against the Baltimore Ravens.’

First injury report released for Bills and Ravens

‘For the Bills, cornerback Taron Johnson and linebacker Terrel Bernard have already been ruled out of the Sunday Night Football contest and did not practice on Wednesday as the team held a walk-through practice.’

Josh Allen named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

‘Allen became the first NFL player with 200 plus passing yards and four plus passing touchdowns in a first half since when he did it himself against Pittsburgh in 2022. Allen also became the first quarterback in NFL history to complete 75 percent of his passes throw for four plus touchdowns without taking a sack, and leading his team in rushing yards.’

Opinion: Kramer: Wandering Thoughts

‘It is not that the Bills have won these first three games that is impressive, it is how. First, they had to wake up from a slow start with a mix of pass and run attacks to come back and claim victory against Arizona. Four days later, they smother the Dolphins on a short week and Josh Allen doesn’t even need to lift a finger, as the defense and the run game did nearly all the work. Finally, after ten days off, Allen wanted in on the dominance. Allen and the air attack could do no wrong, as they put a hapless Jaguars team into the dirt.’

Bills injuries: LB Terrel Bernard, DB Taron Johnson improving, but won’t play vs. Ravens

‘Johnson, an All-Pro at his nickel defender position last season, hurt his forearm early in the season opener, and Bernard sustained a pectoral injury in the first half of the Week 2 win at Miami. Neither player will be placed on injured reserve, McDermott said Tuesday, because the Bills believe they can return sooner than the minimum four weeks an IR designation would keep them off the field.’

Coach Sean McDemott shares an injury update Wednesday

‘Terrel Bernard (pec) will miss the second straight game while Taron Johnson (forearm) will miss his third consecutive game. However, McDermott did not rule out the possibility of either of them practicing, saying “tomorrow they may be out there in some fashion” but that he would have a better idea this evening.’

Bills QB Josh Allen named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

‘Allen threw for four touchdowns while completing 23 of 30 passes for 263 yards with no interceptions. Allen also led the Bills with 44 rushing yards on six carries, an average of 7.3 yards per run. His longest covered 13 yards.’
