‘”I thought that the defense and the takeaways was a big time difference in the game, and then also getting momentum back after our turnovers with some key stops and fourth down stops”, McDermott said. “We were able to make them (Colts) one dimensional, which was important for us. It was a resilient win overall. Very resilient win.”‘

‘I mean, again, guys stepping up, knowing they’re knowing their job, knowing their assignment, and going out there and executing can be cleaner”, Allen noted. “That’s that’s me. So again, just making sure we’re communicating well, and just try again, just trying to hold on the football. And, you know, we got to play better on offense,” Allen added.’

‘In a nutshell the Bills offense looked good in the second and fourth quarters and not good in the first and third quarters. It was a struggle for the Bills passing game but that was to be expected considering they had to make a go of it without two of their best weapons. Both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman were inactive. They also lost tight end Dalton Kincaid in the game to a knee injury. Allen threw two interceptions and both were on him as opposed to his previous two picks this season.’

‘Allen was very up-and-down in this game, completing 22-of-37 passes (59.5%) for 280 yards and throwing two bad interceptions. He failed to throw a touchdown pass. He did run for 50 yards, finishing with 320 yards of total offense on the day.’

‘The Bills defense ranks 26th in the NFL in yards allowed rushing per play. They’ll have to be much better than that against Taylor.’

‘The Bills have done it all in the regular season in the last five years. Made the playoffs. Won the division, literally every year. Beat the Chiefs, three times. There’s only one thing left to do. The one seed.’

‘Fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper, who is also dealing with a wrist injury, is listed as questionable.’

‘”To be honest with you, I just listened to what our trainer says. He gives me the information. When he gives me the green light, that’s when he’s playing. To this point, we haven’t had that since he’s gone down with the injury. So we’ll see where it goes. Obviously, he’s a really good player, and so he’s a good player for us. But, all the while, somebody else has to step up and fill in for both Keon in this case, and if Amari can’t go.”‘

‘The story of the Colts’ season has been all about the quarterback position. Specifically, it has been about the struggles and subsequent benching of second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson. The fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft started four games as a rookie, but missed most of last season due to an injury.’

‘Coleman was officially listed as a non-participant for the second day in-a-row.’

‘Jefferson has bounced around the league since coming in as a former fifth-round pick (147th overall) of the Seattle Seahawks in 2016. He’s also made stops with the Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets.’

‘”We’ll just take it one day at a time and see where things take us,” McDermott said, adding “it could be more than just this week,” but that the evaluation was still ongoing.’

‘Bass became the ninth kicker in NFL history to kick a field goal 60-or-more yards in the final two minutes or in overtime.’

‘Heading into Tuesday’s trade deadline across the NFL, multiple reports had indicated the Bills were attempting to seek a trade to accommodate the 28-year-old. After failing to find a trade partner, the Bills formally released Edwards before the 4 p.m. EST deadline.’

‘The rookie was injured on the team’s final drive against the Miami Dolphins when he attempted to catch a pass downfield, but was hit by Dolphins safety Jordan Poyer.’
