‘The Bills have run 29 plays out of 13 personnel, which is 6.62% of their offensive snaps. That rate ranks No. 9 in the league, so the Bills are maximizing the times they have the grouping on the field.’

Bills scouting report: Can the defense shut down Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice?
‘Rashee Rice, their No. 1 receiver, is back from a six-game suspension that stemmed from his guilty plea for causing a multivehicle crash in March 2024. With Rice on the field the past two games, Kansas City’s offense has looked like the best in the NFL.’
Bills notebook: Gabe Davis practices; Linebacker Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard full participants
‘Practice squad members do not get official designations on the injury report, so it is undisclosed whether Davis was full or limited.’
Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen is playing a little smarter. Here’s how he can be at his smartest vs. Chiefs
‘Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills took care of business on the road against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. We know that.’
Alan Pergament: Thanks to Peyton Manning, Bills fans can smile through tears about Buffalo’s cursed sports history
‘Their acting skills are put to good use in the enjoyable fifth season premiere episode Sunday on ESPN+ of “Peyton’s Places” titled “The Bills Mafia.”‘
Josh Allen says Bills passing game fix is easy, but is a trade for wide receiver needed?
‘“Not concerned at all,” Allen said. “I think if I can go back and change a couple things, trust my feet, get through my progressions, we wouldn’t even be talking about this. But yeah, it’s an easy clean up, and it’s just trusting the guys out there, trusting my feet and putting the ball where it needs to be.”’
Three trade targets emerge for Bills after injuries decimate key position
‘One thing the Bills could do is go with a three-man rotation with Ogunjobi, Walker, and Phillips, and then on passing downs, move edge rusher Michael Hoecht inside which the Bills did a little of against Carolina. Hoecht had a strong debut coming off his own six-game suspension with 1.5 sacks, six pressures and a forced fumble, and while it wouldn’t be ideal having a 267-pounder lining up regularly at DT, it’s certainly better than going with any of the practice squaders.’
Bills injury report encouraging ahead of Chiefs game: The latest
‘Milano has played in parts of only three games this season due to a pectoral muscle issue, while Bernard has missed the last 1 ½ games with an ankle injury. In their absence, Dorian Williams and Shaq Thompson have held their own and it stands to reason that they will continue to be utilized even if Milano and Bernard return to action.’
Bills sign late-blooming DT who grew up playing basketball to practice squad
‘Akingbesote, who is of Nigerian descent, originally focused on basketball before switching to football as a junior in high school.’
Bills’ Josh Allen could be missing explosive weapon vs. Chiefs this Sunday
‘The Bills are getting healthier at linebacker. Starters Terrel Bernard (ankle) and Matt Milano (pectoral) were full participants after being limited all last week. They were both questionable heading into the Panthers game. Milano was inactive, and Bernard was active but didn’t play.’
Bills vs. Chiefs: Bill Cowher says AFC powers going ‘under the radar’ is a secret weapon
‘“I think sometimes going under the radar and letting people question you is also a little bit more motivation,” Cowher said. “When people say you can’t do something, I know I was always looking for something to make every game personal, to make our journey personal. And when someone says that, we can’t win in the playoffs, that’s all I really wanted to hear, because that kind of just takes the pressure off. Oh, we can’t? We’ll see. We’ll find out.”’
James Cook wins AFC Offensive Player of the Week behind career day
‘Cook became the fifth player since 1990 with at least 200 rushing yards and multiple rushing touchdowns on fewer than 20 rushing attempts, joining De’Von Achane (Sept. 24, 2023, with Miami), Derrick Henry (Dec. 6, 2018 with Tennessee), Frank Gore (Sept. 20, 2009 with San Francisco) and Barry Word (Oct. 14, 1990 with Kansas City).’
Gabriel Davis returns as Bills passing game looks to get on track vs. stout Chiefs defense
‘Gabriel Davis hasn’t played football in a year. It’s been almost two since he played for the Buffalo Bills. But the 2020 fourth-round pick returned to practice Wednesday for the first since signing to Buffalo’s practice squad. A torn meniscus sustained while playing for the Bills near the end of 2023 — which kept him out of the playoffs — continued to linger.’
