‘”To hear the crowd go crazy when Matt was announced, I think just again, I don’t want to speak for the fans, but I think they appreciate how tough he’s had to be over the course of the last two years,” coach Sean McDermott said. “So, when they were cheering for him, I think that to me, what I heard was they were appreciative of the fact that he had worked himself back to come back on the team.”‘

‘”Just to set expectations, Micah is in a practice squad role,” McDermott said. “We are fully confident in Taylor Rapp, Damar Hamlin, Cole Bishop, Kareem Jackson. They’ve all been doing a real good job for us in the roles that they are currently in. They’re going to stay in those roles and Micah is in a practice squad role, so good to have him back and his family as well.”‘

‘Allen was officially awarded both a passing and receiving touchdown on the play, but not a reception. The score put the Bills up 28-3.’

‘”This one feels a little bit different, this early in the season … so, the cool thing about it, get to go out there, and we get to play free,” Allen said. “There’s really no repercussions for what we’re doing, but at the same time, we’re chasing the 1-seed. We understand that. We know that and we’ve got to keep getting better each and every week.”‘

‘Milano, 30, has not played in a regular-season game since Oct. 8, 2023, when he suffered a season-ending leg injury in the team’s game vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The outside linebacker was on pace to return for the 2024 season but tore his biceps during a drill with a tackling dummy during training camp in August.’

‘The team — with ABM, which helps with facility management services — shared a Google document for anyone 18 years or older to sign up on if they were interested in helping with snow removal at the stadium for the rest of the season. A lake effect snow warning is in place from the National Weather Service until 7 p.m. EST on Monday for some areas around Western New York, including Orchard Park, where the Bills’ stadium is located.’

‘The caption included the date November 22, 2024 — Friday of the Bills’ bye week. Allen, 28, is pictured on one knee proposing to Steinfeld, 27, surrounded by a rose arch and candles in front of the ocean.’

‘”There [were] a lot of questions about our team coming into this season. A lot of turnover,” McDermott said last week. “…I just think that we were able to do a good job adding some personnel, and then coaches developing some of the young players who were onboarded early here. We’ve kind of weathered the storm with some injuries, getting through some of that kind of chapter of the book to this point as well.”‘

‘”The Josh Allen experience, with this magnitude, has been phenomenal, man,” wide receiver Amari Cooper said. “… He’s a great player. The old adage, big-time players make big-time plays in big-time situations, and that’s exactly what he did.”‘

‘To start, safety Taylor Rapp picked off quarterback Patrick Mahomes as he was pressured by defensive tackle Ed Oliver. An unnecessary roughness penalty forced the Bills to start the following drive on the team’s own 35-yard line, but that was no problem.’

‘This will be the second game Kincaid has missed in his career and the first this season. The second-year tight end leads the team in targets (59) and is second in receptions (34). He has caught two touchdown passes this season.’

‘Asked Thursday whether he thinks he’s heading towards playing on Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS), Cooper said, “Yeah, I do.”

‘He starts with going over the running game and then moves on to the passing plays, asking the position groups and individual players what plays they would like — and not like — to see called in the game ahead. Allen records notes from the meeting and passes along the plays discussed to offensive coordinator Joe Brady.’

‘Coleman is dealing with a right wrist injury suffered in the Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. The injury forced him to miss the team’s win over the Indianapolis Colts last week, but McDermott said that Coleman going on injured reserve is still not expected. The team’s bye week follows the game against the Chiefs.’

‘The win, however, was far from a clean effort. The Bills suffered consistent miscues that were relieved by the defense — forcing four turnovers, including a pick-six on the Colts’ first play by nickel corner Taron Johnson, and holding the Colts to 4-for-11 (36%) on third downs. The Bills will have some areas to clean up, but with little time to work as Buffalo is hosting the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (4:25 p.m. EST, CBS) on Sunday. Correcting gaffes and polishing up what didn’t work in Indianapolis will be key.’
