‘After slinging a few touchdown passes, the Bills went into halftime with a 21-13 lead, but the Dolphins brought the heat back to Buffalo to start the second half.’

‘But listen, nobody really likes playing in the cold and snow. I asked Allen what he’s learned about how to handle it. “I took my shoes off right now because my toes are still frozen from practice,” he said. “Finding what works for you, whether it’s wearing the long sleeves, wearing some under-stuff just to keep that warmth up, whether it’s like some Icy Hot stuff on your toes to try to keep the circulation going down there, again staying on the heated benches as much as possible, hands in the hand warmer as much as possible.”‘

‘”It’s a mindset thing, really,” Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said. “And if I’m too focused and worried about ‘Is it too cold? Can I really grab the ball? Can I not?’ then I would say I’m focused on the wrong things.”‘

‘We expect between 10 and 18 inches of snow to pile up near and around Orchard Park Saturday afternoon and night.’

‘”He sees the field like a quarterback when he’s out there, especially in zone coverages and just being able to trust him,” Allen said. “Obviously, it’s not going to be perfect right away, but (we’ll) kind of go back and maybe sit down and watch some film and just talk about some different things maybe that we’re doing. So yeah, happy to have him back.”‘

‘”I’m going to be here until we go to Arizona and win it,” Miller said. “I’m going to be here all the way through. I’m not going anywhere.”‘

‘With a win against the Miami Dolphins this weekend, they can make it five playoff appearances in six seasons.’

‘Beasley was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2020 with 82 receptions for 967 yards and four touchdowns.’

‘”Frustration’s going to be natural any time you’re not directly producing like you know you can,” Knox said. “But we’re winning games, so I’m happy. If I have zero catches and we’re winning games, that just means I’m doing my job doing other things besides catching the ball. That’s just the nature of the tight end position. You’ve got to block when that’s called, sometimes you’re in pass protection, sometimes you’re getting other guys open on route concepts. If we’re winning games, I’m happy.”‘

‘”They’re a good defense, so I’ll start there and give them the credit,” Sean McDermott said of the Jets. “Overall, not enough early enough for us. Fundamentally, we dropped some passes, we were off the mark a little bit early with our passing game. We’ve just got to do a better job.”‘

‘Still, it wasn’t exactly an easy win, and things started off at a snail’s pace.’

‘”None of it really matters at the end of the day,” said Jordan Poyer. “If you don’t handle what you need to handle as a team, the whole scenario changes. So, being able to handle what we need to handle this weekend, it starts with right now.”‘

‘”One thing that he’s really been vocal about and that I’m sure you guys have heard is be positive,” Epenesa said.’

‘A torn ACL usually requires 9-12 months for recovery, meaning Miller is likely to miss time next season — similar to Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White, who tore an ACL last Thanksgiving and didn’t return to the lineup until this Thanksgiving.’

‘”We’re really encouraged by his play,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. “The fact that he was able to play an extended number of snaps compared to what he had gotten a week before is really good for us and really bodes well for the future. His cover ability, his tackling, everything about what he did only raised our confidence level in watching him play.”‘
