‘The 29-year-old, who has served as a Bills team captain for both of the 2021 and 2022 seasons after being acquired in a trade from the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, also lit into Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen late in the game on the sideline. Diggs caught four passes for 35 yards on a game-high 10 targets, but only two of them occurred in the fourth quarter with the Bills entered trailing 24-10.’

‘The offense let them down, but the Bills’ defense isn’t without fault. The Bills’ defense, after all, allowed Burrow to complete each of his first nine attempts as Cincinnati took a big lead early. They were pushed around by a Bengals’ offensive line that played without three starters.’

‘After spending time in the locker room, Hamlin went up to a suite. He did not go onto the field before the game.’

‘Prediction: Bills 26, Bengals 23.’

‘The pendants are 14K gold and measure 2.5 inches, and there is a heart at the bottom right side of the No. 3. The back of the pendant features a quote from Hamlin: “If you get a chance to show some love today do it! It won’t cost you nothing.”‘

‘More than 50,000 tickets were purchased by Bills and Chiefs season-ticket holders in the first 24 hours they went on sale for the game that would take place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, according to ESPN. The home of the Atlanta Falcons holds 71,000 people.’

‘”Damar still requires oxygen and is having his heart monitored regularly to ensure there are no setbacks or after effects,” Rooney said, via AP. “Though he is able to visit the team’s facility, Damar is not in position to travel often, and requires additional rest to help his body heal.”‘

‘”Tom, you know I love you, and I feel like I’ve been riding for you all year,” Poyer said on his personal podcast. “Go be with your kids, Tom. I appreciate everything you’ve done in this league. I got two picks off of you, one to the crib. Lost both games. I’m 0-11 against you. Yes, please go. Go be with your kids, Tom.”‘

‘The pendants are 14k gold and measure 2.5 inches, and there is a heart at the bottom right side of the No. 3. The back of the pendant features a quote from Hamlin: “If you get a chance to show some love today do it! It won’t cost you nothing.”‘

‘It seems that a few owners realized that the new rules weren’t fair, which might explain why the proposal only passed by ONE vote. It needed 24 votes to pass and it got 25 (According to NBC Sports, the Bengals, Bears and Dolphins voted against it while the Chiefs, Bills, Raiders and Chargers all abstained).’

‘That news comes with the Bills set to play host to the Bengals — the same opponent they were facing when Hamlin’s scary injury occurred — at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, with a trip to the AFC title game on the line. McDermott said that Hamlin is on the road to being back to himself.’

‘With an average blocking unit, Stefon Diggs, and a solid but inconsistent support cast beyond the elite receiver, this is what an offense is going to look like with Allen at quarterback. He’s doing what is most sensible in his mind to elevate this Bills team — sling rockets, often, all over the field, even if doing so is a little dangerous.’

‘Josh Allen made the key throws when they needed him to in the end. Losing the turnover battle, 3-2, is usually a recipe for disaster, but Allen didn’t panic. It took a little while, Buffalo’s first two drives after going down 24-20 were punts, but Allen leading consecutive touchdown drives to end the third quarter settled his teammates and Bills Mafia down. Going back up 34-24 allowed the Bills defense to get back to teeing off on Thompson. The Bills’ composure defensively when the Dolphins were making their final attempt at the go-ahead score was also huge as Miami couldn’t get lined up properly when it mattered most.’

‘Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw an interception in the second quarter on a pass intended for wide receiver John Brown, and after Xavien Howard got the pick and proceeded to return the ball 49 yards down the field, things escalated quickly between the two teams.’

‘Prediction: Bills 38, Dolphins 13.’
