‘The NFL’s policy states that “all players who have reportable injuries must be listed on the Practice Report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game.”‘

‘”Every loss is personal, and if I can go out there and execute differently — hindsight is 20/20, but there’s some things we should have hit on,” said Allen, who is in his second season. “I put that on my shoulders, especially with how well our defense played today. Teams go how their quarterbacks usually go, and I’ve got to be better for this team.”‘

‘Two plays later, Allen faked a handoff to running back Frank Gore before tossing it to receiver John Brown for what appeared to be a reverse. Instead, Brown lofted the ball back to a wide open Allen, who trotted into the end zone for his first career reception.’

‘Key matchup: Watson vs. the Bills’ zone coverage. Buffalo has a zone-heavy defense (54% of defensive snaps). Look for the Texans to influence underneath defenders on leveled routes to create intermediate coverage voids for Watson. That leads to open window throws to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on deep, in-breaking routes to the middle of the field. Read more.’

‘The second-year corner fell awkwardly after grabbing his first career interception off a deflected pass and received medical attention on the field before being helped to the sideline. Unable to put any weight on his right leg, Wallace was carted to the locker room from there.’

‘Brown shook free of Defensive Player of the Year candidate Stephon Gilmore with a double move, caught the pass behind safety Devin McCourty and sprinted untouched to the other end zone for his sixth touchdown of the season. The play gave Allen and Brown a league-leading four touchdowns that traveled 20 or more air yards.’

‘Dawkins (2) joins Donald Penn (4) as the only other offensive lineman with multiple TD receptions over the past 10 seasons.’

‘The gallery framed a screenshot of Wilson’s tweet and posted the proof Tuesday morning. Kmitch couldn’t believe it and shared the update with anyone who would listen. He and Abbas vowed to go take a picture with the framed tweet when the gallery reopens in January.’

‘The play marked the fifth catch and first touchdown of the season for Kroft, who missed two games and all of training camp with a broken foot. Ironically, the play was the same type of route he ran when he broke the foot during the Bills’ first session of organized training activities in May.’

‘”They had a plan, and their plan was to get guys here that can learn, can adapt and can believe in what the coaches are preaching,” Dawkins said. “Three years, two playoffs — it’s special. We have a group of dudes that people bond with and love, it’s just a brotherhood.”‘

‘White only got a few seconds to look through the notes before they were taken by a referee.’

‘Maybe, he thought, they’d sell a few thousand boxes. Instead, they sold 2.3 million. Now, 20 years later, Flutie Flakes are making a comeback to once again try to raise money for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism.’

‘According to Elias, Brown is the first non-quarterback to throw a TD pass on Thanksgiving since Dan Reeves did so with the Cowboys on Nov. 23, 1967. That was a 74-yard TD pass to Lance Rentzel.’

‘”I’m just glad I’m in a place coaches believe in me, teammates believe in me and they give me opportunities to do what I do,” he said. “I was telling everybody before the game, I’m just glad I’m on this side while we’re here.”‘

‘A model of durability, playing in 217 of 231 possible games, Gore, 36, could finish his career in his current position on the all-time list. He’s roughly 1,500 yards from the No. 2 rusher, Walter Payton, and 3,000 yards from the all-time leader, Emmitt Smith.’
