‘Allen was fined $14,491 and Moore was fined $13,888 for what the league called a “violent gesture,” per multiple reports. The two appeared to make a throat-slashing gesture after clapping hands.’

‘The Bills defense may have found a nastier attitude along the way, but the defining identity of this unit has a lot to do with its ability to handle one dose of adversity after another that can largely trace to injuries. To say you don’t know what you’ll get from week to week is not a knock. It’s fact. Buffalo (6-3) has fielded at least seven different starting lineup combinations on its defense this season, leaving McDermott and coordinator Bobby Babich to churn for answers.’

‘In the classic comedy, the weatherman portrayed by Bill Murray kept reliving the same day over and over with “Punxsutawney Phil” in the mix. In this NFL adaptation, the Bills have had Kansas City’s number in the regular-season games with four consecutive wins … only to suffer four straight postseason setbacks against the Chiefs.’

‘The two quarterbacks became starters in the same year. In 2018, Mahomes took over for Alex Smith after sitting out during his rookie season and proceeded to win MVP honors. It took less than two weeks for Allen to take over as the starter in his rookie campaign that same year.’

‘The victory wasn’t easy. The Patriots nearly squandered a 10-point fourth-quarter lead after allowing back-to-back scoring drives to the Bills.’

‘The Dolphins tied the matchup in the fourth quarter, however, the Bills scored the deciding, go-ahead touchdown after a Miami roughing the kicker call. A late interception by Tua Tagovailoa sealed the Dolphins’ comeback chances.’

‘The fan is banned “indefinitely” from Bills and NFL stadiums, Bills and league officials told USA TODAY Sports. The fan had been ejected after he shoved the two Ravens players.’

‘It was one of those games that if you didn’t see it you would not believe it.’

‘Allen hasn’t been shy about hiding how proud he is of his wife, discussing it with NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt during an interview for “Hard Knocks” on HBO. Brandt asked Allen for some movie reviews – with “Sinners” being the first one on the list. “A-plus,” Allen said.’

‘His new art, created by famed tattoo artist Ganga, which covers Hamlin’s entire back, works to convey everything about the happenings on the field from that January day.’

‘Cook has been a key piece to the Bills offense since arriving in Western New York, totaling at least 1,200 scrimmage yards in each of the last two seasons.’

‘ While the recognition on the field and in headlines for Cook’s success has been plentiful, Cook feels as though that hasn’t been reciprocated in his bank account. The fourth-year running back has been an offseason hold-in as he seeks a new deal with Buffalo, one that hasn’t happened yet.’

‘The first episode of this year’s “Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills” premieres on Aug. 5 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.’

‘Shakir was Buffalo’s top receiver during the 2024 NFL season, leading the team in targets (100), catches (76) and receiving yards (821) while tying for second on the team with four touchdown receptions. The slot-man built a strong rapport with Josh Allen and is expected to once again be a key weapon for the reigning NFL MVP.’

‘Cook’s refusal to participate in practice comes as he seeks a lucrative contract extension with the Bills. The fourth-year veteran is entering the final year of his rookie contract with the team and – after a season during which he racked up 1,267 scrimmage yards and led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns – is hoping to ink a long-term deal paying him $15 million in average annual value (AAV).’
