‘The game was rather quiet on the scoring front in the first half with six combined turnovers from both teams and a score of 10-7. The second half however saw an explosion of offense from both sides ending in a successful Bills comeback by a score of 27-24.’

‘The Bills turned the ball over five times. That’s never a good thing regardless of whether it’s preseason or any other game.’

‘With Tre’Davious White still on the physically unable to perform list, there’s been a battle going on for not only one starting cornerback spot, but both of them. And over the last week or so at training camp, three different players have seen a healthy rotation with the first unit. First round pick Kaiir Elam, third-year player Dane Jackson, and sixth round pick Christian Benford, who is squarely in the mix for the job. None have taken firm grasp of the role yet, and with the Colts expected to play their starting offense for several series, this would be a great test for this group to see who can emerge ahead after Saturday.’

‘Since his return, and particularly on Thursday, Crowder seems to have clearly re-gained not only his spot, but the confidence of quarterback Josh Allen.’

‘Other than guard Ike Boettger, who remains on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list as he recovers from a torn Achilles, every offensive lineman on the active roster was in uniform and appeared to be a full participant.’

‘That continued on Monday, as the rookie from Villanova rotated with both third-year veteran Dane Jackson and first-round pick Kaiir Elam with the first unit.’

‘”We’re very close,” said Executive Vice President of Pegula Sports and Entertainment, Ron Raccuia on Monday during an appearance on the “Howard and Jeremy Show” on WGR. “We have some schematic drawings, we have some renderings. We’re very, very close to showing what the stadium is going to look like from the outside and from the inside.”‘

‘Gilliam has been with Buffalo since joining as an undrafted free agent in 2020. Gilliam was set to be an RFA in the 2023 offseason before signing this extension.’

‘Saffold dressed and participated in individual position work, but didn’t take any reps against the defense in one-on-one or team drills.’

‘35,911 was the official attendance announced by the team, which is pretty remarkable for a Friday practice in early August, and still many who were there say it felt like even a lot more than that.’

‘Miller elaborated on the love he felt from Bills fans after walking out of the tunnel for the first time. “I’ve been in some special places, but Buffalo, it’s different man.”’

‘Despite Benford’s lack of experience at the professional level, McDermott has no issue throwing him in against the team’s top receivers. “He’s had a good start to camp. He seems to have a good way about him. His disposition both on the field and off, his football IQ, and his combination of size and skill are all things we want to see,” said McDermott during his chat with the media. “We’re going to take him one day at a time and not get too far ahead of ourselves, but we wanted to give him some time with the [first group] and see how he fared.”‘

‘“He’s done a pretty good job in terms of learning the offense,” said Allen in the media tent on Thursday. “He’s been switching up from Z to F, and he’s a smart kid who runs good routes.”’

‘The wide receivers were routinely beating the defensive backs in 1-on-1 drills from the start. It didn’t matter what route or who was running it, or who the quarterback was, it seemed like every player was beating their man and making the catch.’

‘I’m not sure the Buffalo Bills are in a position to be doing anything more than a “prove you’re healthy, then cash in later”-type deal with a receiver.’
