‘”I feel like I play with my emotions on my sleeve,” he said. “Maybe I’ve been masking that the last few games or throughout the season, but I need to let my guys know how much I care about this game and how much I care about them, so if that calls for emotions, that’s what it calls for.”‘

‘”I know his antics will tick off the opposing fans,” said Rob Ellis, a radio host on WIP in Philadelphia. “He’ll probably anger Buffalonians … I’m sure he will, even though he’s from the area, because he will tend to get excited. He’s an excitable guy, but he’s genuine, and I think players see through when you’re not. When you put on for the camera and you’re different behind the scenes, you’re done. That’s not him. He’s the genuine article, and I think, frankly, it’s a joke that he’s not brought up in Coach of the Year conversations — because all he does is win.”‘

‘Gilliam forced a fumble that the Bills recovered on the opening kickoff of Sunday’s 32-6 win against the New York Jets.’

‘The good news is coach Sean McDermott said Rapp did not need to go to the hospital, instead going home to rest, and said all the initial tests came back negative. Rapp may even have a chance to play against the Eagles this Sunday.’

‘After struggling to get the ball into the end zone and settling for a pair of field goals, the Bills offense finally broke through thanks to an interception from Rasul Douglas, with James Cook scoring a on a 5-yard pass from Allen.’

‘It was Allen who triggered it with the passing game, but he went to different people. He had a touchdown throw to James Cook, another to Ty Johnson and then the big hit that went to Khalil Shakir for an 81-yeard touchdown.’

‘The Bills are hoping Brady will create a spark, but they also need Allen to create his own spark. He’s thrown seven interceptions over the last six games, and leads the NFL in turnovers.’

‘He said he hasn’t decided if he’ll be on the field for the game or up in the booth, but either way, Brady is all in on Josh Allen still being Josh Allen.’

‘Nobody really cares about what Trevon says, and every time Stefon has been asked if he wants to be on the Bills, he has emphatically said yes.’

‘”It hurts,” Allen said. “It hurts a lot to see somebody you care about go through a situation like that. To know that if I could’ve done more, if this offense could’ve done more, we wouldn’t have had to do something like that.”‘

‘The team’s offense has struggled in recent weeks, with the Bills limping to a 5-5 record after a 4-2 start.’

‘”There’s really never a good time to do it, right, particularly on a short week,” McDermott said. “I just felt like this was the right time. Always want to try and do what’s best for the team, and I felt like this was needed right now. As we go into that locker room on Sunday to play the Jets across the street here at home, this is the move that was needed, and that’s what I did.”‘

‘The Broncos kept trying to hand them the football game, and the Bills kept giving it back.’

‘Buffalo took the ball away from their opponents 11 times in the first month of the season. Then, all of a sudden, the turnovers disappeared.’

‘Safety Jordan Poyer (shin) and defensive end Leonard Floyd (illness) have also been sidelined this week, but both were full participants at Friday’s practice and should be good to go for Monday night’s home matchup against the Broncos, airing on 13WHAM ABC.’
