‘The team is 5-3 under head coach Sean McDermott in Week 1, but just 2-2 over the past four years. Considering the team is 48-19 overall in the regular season over that time, their relative lack of success in Week 1 is a bit of a head-scratcher.’

‘Final Record: 13-4 (first, AFC East).’

‘The NFL MVP connected on 26 passes that traveled 20-plus yards past the line of scrimmage, and the Buffalo Bills’ 72 such throws were the second-most in 2024. It’s an area they want to improve this season, as only two of those completions were for touchdowns. In 2022, Allen had a league-best 34 deep completions, and his output dropped to 28 in 2023.’

‘I didn’t grow up going to Bills games. Watched them all − when the infernal non-sellout blackout didn’t get us − but never went to one in the early years of the stadium. Let’s just say it wasn’t real family-friendly at times back then.’

‘“Even though he was MVP, he’s looking for ways he can improve,” said Bills backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky. “He’s asking himself, ‘What can I get better at?’ ” He’s always pushing himself to reach that next level. That’s what makes him great.”’

‘MVP race: 1. Josh Allen, Bills.’

‘Here’s how staffers of The Buffalo News see the NFL season shaping up…’.

‘The episode starts with DaQuan Jones talking to the defensive line at a dinner. Casey Rogers gets everyone to sign a football that he’ll keep as a memory of the team.’

‘The commercial starts with both players in a locker room, strategizing their approach at the drawing board with coaches in Pepsi coveralls. The players then blitz unsuspecting tailgaters at Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles games, giving them cans of Pepsi “to amp up their food’s flavor.”’

‘“It’s a chance to go out there, and to win, you’ve got to play at your best,” Allen said Wednesday. “When you’re going against another quarterback that’s great, you talk about Lamar, he’s one of the best players to touch the grass, honestly.’
