‘The Bills winning will always be an obvious need. At the start of the season, this game looked like the usual challenge. Now? The Chiefs look legitimately vulnerable. So are the Bills, but this game now levels itself back to even again. Buffalo’s offense has been buzzing as of late, while Kansas City’s defense has been solid. The Chiefs offense has been an issue more than not, with their receivers becoming a major issue. Can a depleted Bills defense focus on Travis Kelce enough to make the Chiefs sweat?’

‘The 34-year-old faces one count of Assault of a Pregnant Person, which is a Third Degree felony in the State of Texas. If convicted, it carries a punishment of 2-to-10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.’

‘Interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady is making his mark, and it has certainly been a positive one. One week after carving up a tough New York Jets defense, the Bills put it to an Eagles defense that allows for plays against their secondary.’

‘Sunday’s loss was also indicative of a problem the Bills have had for the past two seasons, which is losing one-score games. In the last two years, the Bills are now 8-9 in one-score contests.’

‘We should be enjoying the Bills bye week right now, but we are not. Instead, we are talking about another game the Bills blew.’

‘Despite having a timeout to work with, the Bills ended up taking a knee to kill the remaining time on the clock and force overtime.’

‘”[It was] obviously a hard fought game. [The] game went back-and-forth. I thought our guys played hard,” said McDermott during his postgame press conference with the assembled media. “Had some opportunities to win it, and at the end of the day, they made more plays than we did.”‘

‘”I think effort was there, execution was there. Just got to make a couple more plays, and a couple we wished we had back,” Allen stated with the media during his postgame comments on Sunday.’

‘Once again, the defense had a chance to close out the game – twice! – and couldn’t do it.’

‘Looking at advanced stats like DVOA or EPA/play, the Bills’ defense would be a tale of two seasons. Dominant early in the year when everyone was healthy, and horrible once everyone was injured.’

‘The Bills have lost five games, and the common thread in all of them is turnovers. In each of those losses, the Bills offense turned the ball over at least twice. In two of those games they turned it over on their very first offensive snap.’

‘”They’re very talented. They do a great job every year of putting a Super Bowl talented team on the field, and we have to defend it,” said McDermott on WGR with Sal Capaccio. “I think D’Andre Swift has really rejuvenated his career, and then A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts, they do a great job and they’re explosive, they break tackles. Then defensively, the talent they have up-front, the way they’ve invested in their corners. They’ve got a very talented football team.”‘

‘Johnson did not practice at all on Wednesday, so his limited status is an upgrade.’

‘In his meeting with the media before Wednesday’s practice, McDermott said safety Taylor Rapp would not participate with his neck injury, while cornerbacks Taron Johnson and Dane Jackson are in the league’s concussion protocol.’

‘Gilliam started Sunday’s game off with a bang when on the opening kickoff, he made a huge tackle on Jets kick returner Xavier Gipson, causing the ball to come lose. The fumble was then recovered by tight end Quintin Morris, giving the Bills the ball at the Jets’ 21-yard line.’
