‘The Bills could still choose to activate White before Sunday’s game, but just make him inactive for the game itself, essentially a healthy scratch. However, once they do activate him to the 53-man roster, they’ll have to make a corresponding roster move and either release, trade, or place another player on Injured Reserve.’

‘After six weeks, Allen leads the NFL in passing yards with 1,980 and is tied for the most touchdown passes with seven.’

‘But Allen and company began beating those blitzes during a 96-yard touchdown drive late in the first half.’

‘Eventually, Allen will stop surprising me with his elite-level playmaking, but what he did Sunday is another notch in the belt. Just jaw-dropping moments in the game’s most important situations.’

‘The Bills came into this week with a near perfect injury report, compared to last game that saw a battered lineup. The returning starters helped immensely in a game that was a down-to-the-wire finish. In the end, it was a 24-20 win for the Bills over the Chiefs to improve to 5-1 on the 2022 season.’

‘”You try to identify what you need to improve your team. Brandon [Beane] does a great job with that, acquiring those players to help you, that can factor in these games,” said McDermott following Sunday’s win. “It’s not easy coming here, No. 1 against this team. We’ve had our battles. I was real proud of the guys and how they executed in the final moments of the game.”‘

‘”I’m proud of our team how we battled tonight,” said Allen following the Bills’ win on Sunday in Kansas City. “Guys just kept their head down, didn’t panic, didn’t blink, as we like to say in our locker room. Trusted the game plan, trusted situational football. Got a ‘W’ tonight, that was our only goal. … It’s another win. It’s what we’re trying to do each and every week.”‘

‘The Bills were just 2-for-4 in the Chiefs red zone, and had another drive stall at Kansas City’s 21 yard line, one yard away from making it 2-for-5.’

‘The Bills just faced the Baltimore Ravens two weeks ago and elected to have nickel cornerback Taron Johnson often take on tight end Mark Andrews, who was limited to just two catches all day. Maybe that’s the course of action the Bills take against Kelce, as well. Whatever it is, keeping him from having a big day will go along way towards getting a victory.’

‘Just one player has been ruled out, that being wide receiver Jake Kumerow(ankle) and just one player is questionable, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips(hamstring). This comes after a number of weeks where the Bills have been hampered by injuries.’

‘“There are moments you can use to learn from, not only as you move forward against this team, but against every team,” McDermott said. “You try to continue to grow and improve yourself, and your team.”‘

‘Those in attendance on Thursday went wild when Allen was shown on the scoreboard. He was also wearing his new Alex Tuch sweater.’

‘The possibility of that happening took another step forward on Thursday, when Jordan Poyer and Christian Bedford were both on the practice field for a second day in a row, both wearing red non-contact jerseys.’

‘By practicing, the Bills now have 21 days to either activate White to the 53-man roster or place him on Injured Reserve.’

‘In addition to playing each team from one specific division every three years, the scheduling formula also includes a game against the same-place finisher in the other two divisions.’
