‘“I think our mindset is just going to be attack,” Johnson said after practice Wednesday. “We can’t wait to play Sunday just to prove people wrong and prove to ourselves that how we played wasn’t who we are.”’

‘The noncontrolling, minority interests were approved Wednesday by NFL team owners at the league’s winter meetings. This is the first time in Bills’ franchise history that minority owners have been added.’

‘Buffalo’s defense had few answers in stopping the Rams’ dynamic attack while allowing a season-high 457 yards. Worse still, the Bills allowed Los Angeles to go 11 of 15 on third down for a 73.3 conversion percentage — the third highest allowed by Buffalo and worst since allowing Miami’s 75% conversion rate in 1986.’

‘“Josh Allen is an alien,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “Some of the stuff that he can do and the things that he can create, we knew he was capable of that. He’s shown that. That’s why he’s as well-respected and well-regarded in this league as he is. But our guys made just enough plays to be able to come out on top.”’

‘“I have to find a way to get in,” said Allen, who passed for 324 yards and rushed for 82. “I don’t know the stats, but I know it wasn’t good enough to win the game.”’

‘Though McDermott is generally cordial, this represents a departure from the stick-to-the-process coach who took over the Bills in 2017.’

‘Both of these teams have been regular division champions and title contenders since McDermott and McVay were hired one day apart in January 2017 in a remarkable coaching class that included San Francisco’s Kyle Shanahan.’

‘Key matchup – Rams offensive line vs. Bills defensive line. Keep QB Matthew Stafford upright, and open up holes for RB Kyren Williams. It’s a pretty simple formula for the Rams, and they executed it well in New Orleans, letting Williams rush for 104 yards while Stafford was only sacked twice. Buffalo has two disruptive ends in Gregory Rousseau (6 1/2 sacks, 15 tackles for loss) and A.J. Epenesa (5 sacks), so keeping them in check will be a challenge. The Bills are also proving to be sturdier in stopping the run in recent weeks, though there was statistical regression last week with San Francisco reduced to keeping the ball on the ground in heavy snowfall.’

‘“The goal has always been to bring a championship back to Buffalo, and if I can help in any way, if I’m able to give T-Rapp or D-Ham or whoever’s out there a nugget to make a big play in a big game, I did my job,” he added, referring to Buffalo’s starting safety tandem of Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin.’

‘What’s also becoming apparent is how much McDermott deserves consideration for coach of the year honors.’

‘Allen had touchdowns passing, rushing and receiving, becoming the first quarterback and seventh player in the Super Bowl era to do that and the first since the Niners’ Christian McCaffrey in 2022.’

‘The AFC East-leading Bills (9-2) are expected to ease Milano back into action, making it unclear how much playing time he’ll have against the 49ers (5-6). Buffalo is one win away from clinching its fifth straight division title.’

‘Kincaid will miss his second game with a knee injury, and has yet to practice since being hurt in a 30-20 win at Indianapolis on Nov. 10. As for Milano, the eighth-year player will be listed as questionable after spending the previous two days practicing fully and no longer wearing a non-contact jersey.’

‘The latest forecast calls for 20 to 30 inches of snow to fall over a 12-to-16-hour period starting late Saturday afternoon.’

‘The Buffalo Bills quarterback and actor Hailee Steinfeld posted a photo to their Instagram followers on Friday — 20.3 million for Steinfeld and a mere 1.3 million for Allen — of Allen on one knee proposing marriage. The picture was taken on a grassy ridge overlooking water, with the couple surrounded by candles and framed by a large arch covered in flowers.’
