‘”He personifies what it is to be a Buffalo Bill,” an emotional McDermott said postgame. “His family is tremendous, and he works as hard as anybody I’ve ever been around. I love him. To see him on that field the way he was hurting is hard.”‘

‘”It’s unfortunate — it’s a shame,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said. “Knowing Tre, once he gets his feet back underneath him here — no pun intended — he’ll be fine. He’s a resilient young man who’s extremely committed and determined to be successful in his life and career. Still, guys on our team are talking about it and want to do everything support Tre and his family, and that’s what we intend to do, to help him through all of this.”‘

‘Allen had more touchdowns than incompletions. He had a perfect passer rating, and Diggs caught three of those touchdowns.’

‘The Dolphins are feeling pretty good. They scored 70 points last week. I think Miami coach Mike McDaniel said it best. “If you need to be motivated for a game like this, check your pulse,” McDaniel said. “Or maybe consider a career adjustment. (It’s a) very, very difficult challenge that I think our players are pumped for. You sign up to play the best, and I think (the Bills) fit that.”‘

‘His absence likely means Taylor Rapp or Cam Lewis will start alongside Micah Hyde at safety and Damar Hamlin will be active for the first time this season.’

‘”It forces you to be more prepared, to go out there and have better practices and be more locked in on the details,” Bills quarterback Josh Allen said. “Obviously, that offense is playing at a high level. Everybody knows that.”‘

‘”That’s my guy,” Wilkins said. “I love Josh. We’re cool. We’re tight.”‘

‘Bass, 26, previously won the award in October 2021 and November 2022.’

‘”I just feel like it’s not different from any away game,” Hill said. “They got a great team. I feel like the fanbase is just like any other fanbase, so it’s like a normal environment to us. True ballers are going to go in there unfazed and make plays and do what we’ve been doing all year.”‘

‘Bernard sacked the quarterback twice, intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble in Buffalo’s 37-3 win against the Washington Commanders.’

‘There’s no doubt about it — that Miami offense is legit and explosive. Through three weeks, they currently lead the league in total yards (1,656), passing yards (1,091), touchdowns (17) and points per game (43.1).’

‘We also didn’t see much of him last season, but all of a sudden, Bernard has stepped in and is making a huge difference for this defense.’

‘”I think I’ve said it from the beginning of the year, this is a guy who just seems like he’s always around the ball,” safety Jordan Poyer said. “Great instincts, commands the defense. He made some huge plays today — some plays that just kept our momentum going, and he’s going to continue to make plays for this defense. Great player.”‘

‘Taking over as defensive coordinator, his group dominated Sunday — forcing five turnovers and collecting nine sacks. Only an embarrassing Washington field goal in the last minute prevent Buffalo from pitching a shutout.’

‘”It’s one of the best groups, if not the best group, in the league,” Allen said. “Up front, they’re all big, fast, powerful, explosive, they all can get after the quarterback — so (we’re) trying to make sure they don’t take over the game, because they have the ability to do that. Making sure we’re dialed in, communicating well — and ultimately, the team that best executes on Sunday’s going to win the game.”‘
