Alan Pergament: Brown, Wood have good chemistry calling Bills games, but have things to clean up
‘I’ve never been a fan of Brown’s voice. It suffers by comparison to past Bills voices Van Miller, John Murphy and Al Meltzer. Brown’s voice – which shrieks on big plays – is his biggest negative, but it’s not as though he can do anything to fix it.’

Why Buffalo Bills fans are celebrating today despite their team not even playing a game
‘Buffalo punched their ticket to the postseason, but it still has plenty to play for with two games remaining. The Bills can win the AFC East if they win out and the New England Patriots drop one of their final two matchups on the road against the New York Jets or at home against the Miami Dolphins. Both scenarios, however, seem unlikely as the Jets and Dolphins are playing for draft status more than wins at this point in the season with backup quarterbacks. New York has said that Brady Cook will start the final two games of the season for the Jets and Quinn Ewers is expected to start for Miami.’

Bills defense relying on second-half adjustments
‘Adjustments have been crucial for the Bills with big plays late and essential stops becoming a signature. But it is the fact that the unit has been put in situations time and time again to need them that is an issue to monitor ahead of the postseason. It’s reflective of the team in all three phases, with comebacks and tight games now a formula for the Bills.’
