‘”When you win it goes in the win column as one, when you lose it goes into the loss column as one. No matter how you win you gotta find a way to win and I think our guys have shown that they know how to do that. Incredibly resilient, down to the last play really.”‘

‘”Just trusting what were seeing. Dorse (Ken Dorsey) was trusting our guys, lotta Stef (Stefon Diggs) and we’re just gonna keep feeding him there, guys were blocking well. Again just found a way to drive down the field and end in the end zone. Sometimes those games happen, it’s tough to win in this league. I’m just proud of our guys for battling through it.”‘

‘Jackson was picked on a bunch. It seemed like whenever the Lions needed a play in the passing game, they went Jackson’s way, and too often had success.’

‘It means on 65% of their drives they either score points or turn the ball over. They’ve punted a league-low twenty times. Now they face a Lions defense that’s allowed opponents to score on 43.3% of their defensive possessions, fifth-most in the league, but has also taken the ball away 13 times. The Bills need to take advantage of the Detroit defense and not let the Lions have those extra chances by giving them the ball.’

‘The Bills’ running game came alive in their win on Sunday, with both rookie James Cook and veteran Devin Singletary rushing for 86 yards, and Singletary scoring a touchdown. McDermott has been really impressed with how Cook has handled himself, especially since the acquisition of Nyheim Hines from the Indianapolis Colts.’

‘McDermott also gave an update on several injured players, saying that center Mitch Morse, offensive lineman David Quessenberry, and defensive end Gregory Rousseau will all be limited at practice this week. It will also be a stretch for linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and defensive end A.J. Epenesa to be able to play come Thursday.’

‘The Bills picked up right where they left off in the second half. Allen found Diggs twice on the opening drive of the second half helping push the offense into Browns territory. Buffalo ultimately came up short on third down and Bass was called into action once again. This time Bass nailed a 56-yard field goal, his third of the game.’

‘”Very impressed by the way we ran the football,” McDermott said. “Both backs had close to 80 plus yards. They were running hard, taking care of the football. Good to watch our offensive line go to work the way they did.”‘

‘”Obviously a crazy week. Didn’t practice Friday, practiced Wednesday with some guys out. So not your typical week,” said the Bills quarterback following Sunday’s win. “We’ve got some resilient guys on this team, guys that care about each other, and do things the right way. We play again here in four days so we’ve gotta get home, make sure we get some rest, recover the way we need to and be ready to go again.”‘

‘Rookie James Cook and Devin Singletary both ran for 86 yards. Cook averaged a whopping 7.8 yards per-carry, while Singletary averaged a very good 4.8, but also added a touchdown runs and 11 yards receiving giving him 97 total yards on the day.’

‘Special teams deserves a game ball for their performance.’

‘Eight years ago, under Doug Marrone, they did a great job of that in a very similar situation and beat the Jets in Detroit, 38-3.’

‘During his Zoom call with the media on Friday, McDermott says linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, defensive end Greg Rousseau and cornerback Tre’Davious White will not play due to injury.’

‘The last time the Bills had a game moved due to inclement weather was during the 2014 season, when a game against the New York Jets was also moved to Detroit. The Bills ended up winning that game, 38-3.’

‘However, two other players, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and defensive back Cam Lewis, were still out with illness, and wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie was added to that list.’
