‘With his sixth-career AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor, Allen moves past Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas (five) for the second-most Offensive Player of the Week awards in Bills history. He just trails Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly for the most in team history with 10.’

‘Cuomo said on Tuesday that the New York State Department of Health was looking at an “experimental model” that would allow fans back at Bills Stadium this winter. He explained that the state is working with the Bills, and that it’s all a work in progress.’

‘”Those were some of my best years. Just from the city, the team. I live an hour away from Philadelphia so that was always like home to me. Lot of my most memorable moments and great times are from the Philadelphia area. I played with so many great players there like Mike Vick, [Brian] Westbrook, [DeSean Jackson], [Jeremy] Maclin, I could name guys forever. Philadelphia was always a special, special place. When I got traded, it hurt me a little bit deep. Andy Reid has always been great to me and my family. He took a shot on me in the second round and it worked out. Very thankful and grateful for that.”‘

‘“We are talking to the Bills,” Cuomo said. “We are researching teams and protocols across the nation. The Department of Health is looking at an ‘experimental model’ of working with data and testing to see if there’s any way we could safely allow some fans into the game. We’re working with the Bills. It’s all a work in progress.”’

‘This billboard is a result of Bills fans winning the NFL on FOX “Ultimate Fan Bracket” back on Twitter before the 2020 season in September. As a result, Bills fans were awarded a billboard that could be placed anywhere in the world, and, of course, they chose Foxborough, Massachusetts.’

‘Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there is no actual Pro Bowl game this year. Instead, there will be week-long virtual event with celebrities, NFL Legends, current players, and streamers playing as the Pro Bowl rosters on the Madden NFL 21 video game. Therefore, players on the Super Bowl teams could still take part.’

‘We’ve always sat back and watched parade-after-parade-after-parade in all these other places. I think about that little kid sometimes in Boston who shows up to all of their championship parades with his sign that says how many times his teams have won a title since he’s been born. It’s nauseating.’

‘”Large gatherings should concern everyone,” said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over the weekend and after the “Bills Mafia” turned out by the thousands at the airport to welcome home the AFC East champs.’

‘Following Saturday’s win, Adam Zyglis – a cartoonist for The Buffalo News – drew a photo of Allen literally digging the Patriots’ grave for their 20-year stretch of dominance over the division. Of course, the drawing makes an appropriate mention of “Diggs” – Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who had 11 catches for 147 yards on Saturday.’

‘Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo offense put up a season-high 48 points (with some help from the defense and Jerry Hughes), the most the Bills have scored in a game since 2010, and the defense shut down a young, promising Denver offense that has picked up some steam as the season has gone on.’

‘What a great way to wrap up the first non New England east division championship since 2008, with a stress free game. Josh Allen and the Bills passing offense were just too much for a depleted Denver secondary to handle. Allen, who is playing at an MVP level, put on another show with wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley, both of whom topped 100 yards receiving.’

‘The game was back-and-forth in the first half, despite the Bills being noticeably the better team. A muffed punt by Andre Roberts in the first half gave Denver a chance to get back in the game and hang with the Bills the whole way. But, Buffalo did a good job bouncing back from maybe the only negative play in the entire afternoon, and completely put Denver away in the second half.’

‘The Bills were playing their third game in 13 days, and on a short turnaround after playing on Sunday Night. They had to fly out west, and everyone in Western New York was talking about winning the AFC East title for the first time in 25 years. But McDermott kept his team focused and on task, playing a complete game in every phase to win comfortably.’

‘That’s already a tough matchup for them, considering the Bills run a lot of four wide receiver sets. This is a time where they’ll probably want to take advantage of those weapons and spread the field and from sideline-to-sideline. Force the Broncos to have to cover everyone.’

‘…I called my brother, Pat, by older brother who was drafted by the Baltimore Colts as a linebacker out of the University of Richmond, and we always looked up to him and we still do — he’s the oldest. And I said Pat, um, Coach Paterno called and he said he didn’t want me as a quarterback because they already signed a couple guys but gave me full ride as a linebacker, what should I do? And he said, “Brother, I have a few words of advice for you.” He said, “Before you board those chartered flights… the stewardesses never want to know who the linebackers are. They always want to know which one’s the quarterback.”‘
