‘The Washington Football Team quarterback, who is going to be a free agent this offseason, proved himself as a man of the people on Saturday after he was spotted in the stands at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park. He withstood frigid cold temperatures to cheer on the Bills with his kids during their 47-17 Wild Card Round route of the New England Patriots.’

‘Annihilate. Destroy. Obliterate. All words that can be used to accurately describe what the Buffalo Bills did to the New England Patriots on Saturday in their AFC Wild Card bout.’

‘Josh Allen and company played the football equivalent of a perfect game and it was one of the greatest single game experiences a Bills fan will ever have.’

‘Since Allen arrived in Buffalo, there have been plenty of superlatives thrown around to describe his performances. His growth as a passer, coupled with his ridiculous running ability, have made him a superstar in a city that may have thought their day would never come again.’

‘The Bills were as prepared as they’ve ever been in Sean McDermott’s five year tenure as head coach, and that’s saying something. They had great game plans on both sides of the ball and were ready to play right away from the opening kick. McDermott and his staff put the team in a great position to win and pushed all the right buttons during the game to do it with authority.’

‘According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, both Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier are scheduled to interview with both the Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears on Sunday for the open head coaching positions. In addition, Schefter is reporting that Bills assistant general manager Joe Schoen is expected to interview with the Bears for their opening at general manager.’

‘Safety Kyle Dugger, a very important player in their three-safety scheme, did not play last week and is dealing with a hand injury. The Patriots have elevated two defensive backs from their practice squad.’

‘This is Poyer’s first time he has been honored as an All-Pro by The Associated Press. He is the first Bills safety to be named an AP First-Team All-Pro since Henry Jones back in 1992.’

‘“The balance on this team, what they provide, the dynamic offense – Josh Allen in particular – and defensively,” Eagle said with Howard Simon and Jeremy White on WGR. “While the one area of defense was exposed in the first meeting between these two teams [on Dec. 6], they make up for it in a lot of really strong areas defensively. To be No. 1 in the league in total defense, No. 1 in the league in scoring defense, those things don’t happen by accident. It’s a really strong unit, and excellent chemistry, more than anything else to me. That’s what stands out about this group.”’

‘“Our staff does such a great job of being prepared on the front end of things, and ready to adjust on the back end of things,” McDermott said with Sal Capaccio and “Sneaky Joe” DiBiase. “We will be well-prepared, and we will practice outside in the stadium today.”’

‘This is not an NFL policy. This type of clothing is permitted at some stadiums, including Lambeau Field in Green Bay and First Energy Stadium in Cleveland, for example.’

‘Only three players were listed on the team’s official injury report on Wednesday, and none had any actual injury designation for the day. Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) and defensive end Efe Obada (ankle) were both full participants, while wide receiver Cole Beasley had a vet rest day, and was still a limited participant.’

‘Daboll has been the Bills’ offensive coordinator since 2018. He’s the only offensive coordinator quarterback Josh Allen has had since entering the NFL that same season.’

‘It’s a simple truth. The grueling schedule, working dusk-to-dawn, seven days a week, draft prep, OTAs, minicamp, training camp, 17 regular season games, playoffs, it’s all just too much for a 70-year-old man.’

‘He was also a key member of the 1985 Bears defense – considered one of the greatest units of all-time – leading them with six interceptions. The Bears dismissed head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace on Monday.’
