‘For all of the mishaps, mistakes and misfortunes the Bills endured – mind-numbing losses, a fired offensive coordinator and debates about “championship windows” – through the first 11 weeks of the season, they had a prime opportunity Sunday to leave much of that behind for the stretch run.’

‘Facing a second-and-goal with less than two minutes left in the first half, Allen was flushed outside of the pocket on a play that started at the Eagles’ 3-yard line. As Reddick dragged him down, it appeared Reddick’s left hand first grabbed Allen by the front collar – the stretch marks afterward proved that – and again with his right hand near Allen’s neck and back of the helmet.’

‘Allen leads the NFL in turnovers (14) and interceptions (11). He has six straight games with a pick. Allen had three of the Bills’ four turnovers (two interceptions and a fumble) on Monday against Denver. For those of us who have long pointed out Allen’s propensity to cough up the football with poor decision-making, and said it would one day catch up to him in a big way, well, we will not say we told you so.’

‘”I’m not responsible for how other people feel,” Stefon Diggs told reporters on Thursday. “Anybody in this room for this manner, a reporter, a player, even my own brother. I love my brother. In the space that my brother’s coming from is my family. So, you want to know how he feels? You got to take it up with him.”‘

‘“Turnover wise, it’s abysmal when we lose, and there there’s no secret to that. So … it’s not like it’s broken. We’re not, we’re not a broken offense. we’re not a broken team. but the splits compared to when we win and when we lose are massive.”‘

‘Since Allen entered the league in 2018, no QB has more turnovers (94) than the two-time Pro Bowl selection.’

‘It should be no different in Western New York as it pertains to Allen, a two-time Pro Bowler and an upgraded version – at least in certain regards – of former league MVP Cam Newton. But Allen seems to need guidance, stability and help – and those aren’t insignificant issues for a player who appears to take on too much of the offensive load and/or is overly burdened with it.’

‘The Broncos defense forced four turnovers — two fumbles and two interceptions — but the offense only scored six points off the takeaways. This comes after the Broncos forced five turnovers in their Week 8 win over the Kansas City Chiefs before they had their bye.’

‘“Man 14 Gotta get up outta there,” Trevon wrote.’

‘Hamlin’s Chasing M’s Foundation will award $1,000 scholarships to 10 individuals from Cincinnati’s underserved communities for the next three years. According to a news release, each of the individual scholarships will be named after the 10 first-responders, nurses and doctors who tended to Hamlin after he went into cardiac arrest on the field and was resuscitated during the Bills’ game at the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2.’

‘With tight ends Dawson Knox, Quintin Morris and Zach Davidson all out, rookie Dalton Kincaid stepped up.’

‘”So, things are heading in a good direction right now for Damien,” McDermott said.’

‘Buffalo is all too familiar with frightening injuries.’

‘The Giants led — and even shut out the Bills — for the first three quarters inside Highmark Stadium, but the offensive power of Buffalo finally woke up in the fourth quarter with back-to-back touchdown scores while the defense kept New York away from the end zone for the entirety of the game.’

‘”With the Buffalo Bills playing across the pond on Sunday morning, I know fans will be gathering for the big game & may fancy a pint,” Governor Hochul announced on social media Tuesday. “I’m directing the State Liquor Authority to extend the deadline for special permits, so sports bars and restaurants can serve as early as 8am.”‘
