‘“I think it’s a fun way to see your impact as a fan done in a tangible way,” said Reid, whose Bills merchandise company 26 Shirts passed the $1 million donation mark last December “The way I look at it is it’s when all the fans are kicking in and we’re watching those donation totals go higher and higher, it really is like ‘yeah, I’m a Bills fan.’ And this is all of us working together to show our love for the team.”’

‘The NFL said that it was the first time a player with the same name as the quarterback has recorded a sack.’

‘Buffalo’s Josh Allen – and not Patrick Mahomes – was the best quarterback on the field. Allen burned the worst-ranked defense in the league for 315 yards and three TD passes. Allen also rushed for 59 yards and a score.’

‘“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 pact keeps Allen, who has two years remaining on his current deal after the Bills exercised his fifth-year option, under contract with Buffalo through 2028.’

‘Initial violations of the COVID-19 protocols can result in a $50,000 fine.’

‘By the looks of Brown’s excitement in the video, he’s hyped to be blocking for quarterback Josh Allen in the future.’

‘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.’
