‘“It’s just like I’m home. Like, it’s just so much love,” White said. “So, I’m still enjoying it, I’m still embracing it, and I’m still taking it one day at a time, because the stand’s getting short, it’s getting slim, it’s getting, like, to the end. “So, you just want to cherish these times and embrace it and just be in the moment and, really, just enjoy.”’

‘The Bills needed help at edge rusher. T.J. Sanders, a rookie defensive tackle drafted in the second round, filled in at defensive end over the past few games, but they need him back in the middle because Jordan Phillips injured his ankle last Sunday in a win over the New England Patriots.’

‘Watch the rest of the defense. Myles Garrett’s reputation is well known. The Browns’ pass rusher has been dominant, and he can set the single-season sack record Sunday against the Bills. But Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen isn’t just looking at Garrett’s film. “He’s not the only guy that they got,” Allen said Wednesday. “They’ve got a really, really great unit. Got a really good secondary, two of the top corners in the league. They’ve got one of the best rookies playing their linebacker position. So yeah, you’ve got to be all hands on deck and it’s going to take every single guy to go out there and accomplish what we need to accomplish.’

‘Over the Browns’ last two games, losses to the Titans and Bears, Cleveland allowed 328 rushing yards on 68 attempts (4.8 yards per carry) and four rushing touchdowns. Bills running back James Cook is second in the NFL with 1,415 rushing yards this season. Cook also is second in rushing attempts (271), and he is third in rushes of 10-plus yards (33). He is first in Next Gen Stats’ rushing yards over expected. Cook has 33 rushing touchdowns in 33 games since the start of the 2024 season.’

‘The Bills will get the better of this Lake Erie showdown. despite Myles Garrett, the Bills push past the Browns defense, as Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen is dominant all day. Look for a get-right game for wide receiver Keon Coleman. Meanwhile, the Buffalo defense gets takeaways against rookie Shedeur Sanders, and the Bills log their fourth straight win with ease. Bills, 35-20.’

‘I’m with you that having Shakir as the punt returner isn’t ideal. His time in that job looks like it will be coming to an end, though. Mecole Hardman is eligible to come off injured reserve at any point, and my expectation is that once he does, he’ll be inserted as the primary punt returner. As for Davis, he had always been in the rotation at kick returner, but Ty Johnson and Curtis Samuel were ahead of him on the depth chart. With Samuel injured, Davis got more of an opportunity and has run with it – literally.’

‘”Our players were being subjected to a barrage, and nobody was doing anything about it,” Grant told reporters afterward. “Buffalo has some of the best fans in the league, but there are a few who spoil it for everybody.”‘
