‘Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that the team has ruled out CB Rasul Douglas (knee) for Sunday’s game at the Lions.’

‘”I’ve seen consistently this year them being very urgent,” McDermott said. “I think there’s potentially things that factor into that, whether it’s coming off of the couple games that we come off of and perhaps maybe losing just a little bit of the urgency… So what has to be in front of us this week is the opportunity that’s in front of us, quite frankly, to challenge that team. It’s going against a 12-1 team, and at their place, it’s going to be a heck of an environment.”‘

‘The non-controlling, minority interests were approved earlier today at the NFL meetings in Dallas, TX. This represents the first time in franchise history that minority owners have been added.’

‘”Since experiencing cardiac arrest, I’ve been honored to work with partners who understand how important it is to provide CPR education and have access to AEDs to save lives,” Hamlin said. “I’m very grateful to Senator Schumer for his work making his common-sense legislation a priority. My journey has shown us that no one expects cardiac arrest to happen- and we all need to be prepared. Working together, we have the chance now to protect kids and impact the next generation. I hope that every Senator will lend their support for this bill and that my experience with cardiac arrest will help lead to lasting change.”‘

‘”The highest percentage play at that point was just doing a QB sneak,” Brady said. “At the same time, the cost of not getting it essentially, potentially, and kind of did cost us the game. So I have to do a better job in that situation. At the end of the day, we can’t burn a timeout there.”‘

‘QB Josh Allen orchestrated the offense, leading the unit in both rushing and passing. Allen ran for 82 yards and 3 touchdowns, while also passing for 342 yards and 3 touchdowns. WR Khalil Shakir led the Bills in receiving with 106 yards and 1 touchdown.’

‘It was tough sledding all around for the Bills defense as they struggled to stop anything the Rams potent offense dialed up. Los Angeles scored on six of their eight possessions, the other two being a drive right before halftime and the punt at the end of the game.’

‘”Didn’t play to our standard, didn’t feel like we had the urgency starting out,” LB Terrel Bernard said. “We feel like the offense kept us in the game the whole way through, gave us the opportunity and we just couldn’t get it done. So we’ll go back, look at it, watch the tape, learn from it, and get better and move on.”‘

‘Tight end Zach Davidson is being elevated for the third game consecutive game. He has appeared in the last two games (against Kansas City and San Francisco) – playing 26 snaps in total. He has one reception for five yards this season.’

‘McVay turned the worst offense in the league into the best when he took over in LA. He’s known for his creative use of motion and zone schemes. Since 2017, LA’s offense ranks sixth averaging 25.17 points per game, fourth averaging 247.5 passing yards per game and ties for fifth with 520 plays of 20 or more yards.’

‘”We have to continue to think differently, and these guys have done that all season long,” McDermott said. “And whether it’s winning the division, opponents we’ve played in the past that people perceive to be a certain game or a certain size of game, or playing on a short week. Our guys have done a great job of orientating their minds in a different way this season. And I know that’s what we have to continue to do. And I know they’re up for that challenge.”‘

‘”Josh Allen is playing on another level right now, and while I’m scared the Bills may be peaking too soon when it comes to my Super Bowl pick (yes, again), we’re not in January yet.”‘

‘Play-by-play: Kevin Burkhardt. Color: Tom Brady. Sideline: Erin Andrews & Tom Rinaldi.’

‘The Bills are listing WR Keon Coleman (wrist) and TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Rams.’
