Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

‘This is the third consecutive year the Bills are playing at the $5 billion palace that is home to both the Rams and Chargers, and they have beaten each of those teams there. In the 2022 season opener, the Bills blew out the defending Super Bowl champion Rams 31-10 in the NFL’s season opening game.’

‘“Everyone will practice today and at this point we’re not ready to rule anybody out,” McDermott said.’

‘“Yeah, just had a feeling,” the backup safety said Wednesday following the Bills’ walk-through practice. “We didn’t clean his locker out. That 2-3 and all his stuff was still there this whole time, since the end of last season to now. So it’s like you got that feeling in the back of your head when you know he’s going to come back. He’s not done yet. Yeah, man, I just felt it. So it’s always good to have him back, though.”’

‘“I think we’ve got such a great leadership group and guys beyond even that group that are leaders on this team that are really focused on just the day to day, and trying to get our level of play to where it needs to be every week,” McDermott said. “So I’m comfortable with the guys that we have and how they approach the challenge on a day-to-day basis. I think that along with some gentle reminders, if you will, we’ll be just fine.”’

‘”Sadly, we left earlier than planned,” the Facebook post, which included several photos and videos of Mia in 49ers gear and holding a sign with the words “I BEAT CANCER” and “MY FIRST NFL GAME,” said. “Unfortunately we had to deal with the police because a drunk Bills fan decides it was cool to pass my husband and I and pushed our 8 year old daughter Warrior Mia DeCamilla down the stairs…”‘

‘The Bills are superior to the Rams, and if they play to their capability and avoid a letdown scenario, they’ll win the game.’

‘This was Buffalo’s seventh consecutive victory and in each of the last six they have scored more than 30 points. Yes, the Bills are on a serious roll, and not even a nasty weather night could slow them down.’

‘Early in the game it looked like the 49ers were going to be able to make it a game as McCaffrey and Jordan Mason combined for more than 100 yards rushing in the first quarter, but then McCaffrey went out and the 49ers offense was crippled after that.’

‘Sal’s prediction: Bills 27, 49ers 23.’

‘ Cable/Network TV: NBC. The game will be available locally via the following stations: WHEC channel 10 (Rochester area), WGRZ channel 2 (Buffalo area), WSTM channel 3 (Syracuse area), WKTV channel 2 (Utica area), WETM channel 18 (Elmira area), WNYT channel 13 (Albany area), and WBGH channel 20 (Binghamton area).’

‘The National Weather Service in Buffalo was predicting an additional 12 to 18 inches of snow in Orchard Park through Saturday night, meaning Highmark Stadium will likely be buried when the Bills play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. ‘

‘Kincaid has not practiced since getting hurt early in that game, so Dawson Knox will once again step into the starting role when the Bills host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, and Quintin Morris will be his backup. This might also mean that Zach Davidson gets his second practice squad elevation.’

‘You can make arguments for several other players, namely Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, Philadelphia’s Saquan Barkley and maybe even Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow, but if the vote were taken today, Allen would be the right pick given that he has driven the Bills to a 9-2 record and is playing perhaps the most efficient and refined football of his career, yet still making brilliant plays whenever the Bills need them.’

‘Sunday, the Packers certainly did not do the Bills a favor when they embarrassed San Francisco 38-10 at Lambeau Field because next up for the Bills is a Sunday Night Football matchup against those wounded 49ers who will come to Highmark Stadium as a dangerously desperate team.’

‘Miami (4-6) will play twice before the Bills return to action Dec. 1 when they host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. The Dolphins host New England (3-8) Sunday, and then have to go to Green Bay (7-3) four nights later to play the Packers on Thanksgiving. If the Dolphins lose either of those games, a Bills’ victory over the 49ers would deliver to Buffalo a fifth straight AFC East crown, a feat it has never accomplished. And if the Dolphins lose both, the Bills would clinch the title before they step on the field again.’
