‘“You’ve got to think long-term here,” Goodell said. “This has been going on for decades, and it’s time to get a new stadium done that we can make sure the Bills are here and successful for many, many decades going forward…That’s what this is all about and that’s where we’re focusing.”’

‘Dawkins said he had received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine but was still within the two-week period that the vaccine needs to fully take effect when he began experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. He lost 15 pounds during the experience.’

‘“Josh’s biggest problem, and if you go back to Wyoming and if you look at his errors, he threw picks and did some dumb things,” Beane said. “Josh has always been the best athlete, he’s always been a fireball, even in high school, and it didn’t matter what sport it was. So, he does want the ball in his hands, and you want that from someone of his talent. But it was getting him to understand that you don’t have to do it all yourself, and that was the biggest thing, I thought, his rookie year. ‘We’re down two touchdowns, so I’m just going to throw a bomb here, and we’re going to get 7, they’ll go three-and-out, and I’m going to do it again. Just like that, we’ll be back.’ But it was understanding how the game’s played and understanding what kind of game we’re in.”’

‘The Bills are one of a few possible landing spots for Watt, who will turn 32 next month and likely desires to go play for a title contender in 2021. Buffalo fits that bill, after coming within a game of Super Bowl 55.’

‘And as the Chiefs were bestowed the Lamar Hunt Trophy for the second consecutive season, Diggs was the lone Buffalo player to remain on the field to watch the celebration.’

‘The AFC championship, for much of the night, wasn’t close.’

‘In roughly 14 hours after the game ended, Blessings in a Backpack received 5,500 individual donations from Bills fans totaling nearly $150,000, according to chief marketing officer Nikki Grizzle, who got her latest update around 1 p.m. ET.’

‘Jackson couldn’t lead the Ravens to as much as a touchdown against a much-maligned Bills defense that kept him bottled up in the pocket for much of the night. And when Jackson drove the Ravens to their best opportunity to score a touchdown in the third quarter that might have tied the game, the game changed just like that.’

‘The Bills will need to continue winning games like this, while also seizing the opportunity presented with New England’s post-Tom Brady transition, before power is truly shifted. Yet with a third playoff berth on the horizon in coach Sean McDermott’s fourth season, they sure seem to be trending in that direction.’

‘Norman, 33, has played in three games with the Bills, including two starts. He’s broken up a pair of passes, forced a fumble and recovered two while recording 18 tackles (16 solo). The 2015 All-Pro had spent the last four seasons with Washington, but the organization cut him in February.’

‘”Honestly, the fans built this entire movement,” Reid said in the video. “We built this movement. The team is now embracing it. It’s surreal. It’s like a dream come true. We’ve always said: ‘Mafia means family’ so it’s investing in each other and building each other up and supporting the team and all of that because in Western New York, the Buffalo Bills are the extra family member in every household.”‘

‘If the game is played Tuesday, it would be only the second contest since 1946 to be played on that day of the week. The Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles played a Tuesday game in December 2010 after a blizzard forced postponement of their previous date.’
