Syracuse Post Standard

‘Diggs has seemingly come a long way since questioning a fan in April about his importance to Allen’s overall success.’

‘Douglas has started 21 games for the Bills since arriving via trade from the Green Bay Packers last season. He was ultra-productive last season, recording a team-high four interceptions and nine pass breakups. He’s been solid in 2024 but only managed three pass breakups in 13 games. He hasn’t recorded a single interception this season.’

‘Six Bills defenders received a 34.3 tackle grade or lower from Pro Football Focus.’

‘The Rams did whatever they wanted on third down all game, as the Bills’ defense couldn’t get off the field.’

‘“We trust Sean and the coaches to put us in great positions and I thought it was on me for not getting us in the end zone there,” Edwards said. “I felt they did a good job defensively of kind of laying on us and that urgency to get up in that situation. It’s tough because you’re at the bottom of the pile and you can only control so much down there.”’

‘Buffalo’s loss does not mean that the sky is falling, but earning the No. 1 seed in the AFC now seems like a tall task.’

‘The move comes after months of speculation about Hyde. He left his future in limbo after not signing with any team or announcing his retirement following the 2023 season. During an offseason press conference before his annual charity softball game, he said that if he chose to play in 2024, the only team he’d play for was the Bills.’

‘Before Phillips could even say thank you, he replied to Hyde with a question instead: “When you coming back?”’

‘A drunk Bills fan in section 312 decided to push a group of 49ers fans, including the young child, according to her father Mike DeCamilla.’

‘Dawson Knox led the team in receiving with two catches for 56 yards on two targets. That led to a pass catch grade of 81.8, but Knox was also impressive as a run blocker. Against the 49ers, Knox received an 82.2 run block grade.’

‘If you weren’t looking for him, you might have missed him. But he was there in all his glory – having as much fun as anybody in the stadium. He danced with receiver Mack Hollins, then turned to the crowd, lifted his jersey over his helmet, and gyrated in front of an end zone full of screaming Bills Mafia.’

‘“He really don’t wear shoes and he really doesn’t take elevators,” Epenesa said. “That’s just how he is, and I freaking love it. He’s been a great addition to the team.”’

‘“He’s the one who got me to do it,” Allen told the media postgame. “I was just trying to give him some flowers. He was live on TV and anytime coach asks you do something you do it. I’m a good soldier. I’m not the biggest snow angel fan because you get cold down there. My toes are freezing right now. I’m just trying to get in the shower, but it was fun.”’

‘Josh Allen’s left hand: Josh Allen was seen shaking his hand after a quarterback run early in the game. On his score via lateral from Amari Cooper, Allen seemed to be wincing as he came off the field. It didn’t seem to affect his overall play against the 49ers, but this is something to monitor this week.’

‘The 49ers’ running back looked to have Buffalo’s number and was pacing his offense. Then with just over 11 minutes left in the second quarter, McCaffrey gave himself up for a five-yard loss and immediately went into the medical tent.’
