‘Four turnovers – three by Josh Allen – and too many mistakes to pull out the win.’

‘Diggs said he’s been reading a lot recently, including a new book called “The Power of Unlocking You” — adding he’s been trying to educate himself more. “I’m getting old,” Diggs laughed. “This is just how it goes.”‘

‘McDermott said Allen would not practice Wednesday and said “we’ll see” whether he plays on Sunday.’

‘”He’s a winner. He’s a dog,” Stefon Diggs said. “Case is a professional and all those good things — but when he gets out there, he’s still competing at a high level.”‘

‘A report from the NFL Network indicated Allen would be limited in practice this week but would likely play on Sunday.’

‘”There’s no secret to it, there’s no magic to it, when it comes to stopping the run,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said Monday. “It’s about being physical, it’s about being able to tackle, getting population to the football, being gap sound. All those things that we did well in the first six weeks when we led the league in run defense, we need to be able to do that going forward. We’re going to work as hard as we can this week to get the ship turned in the right direction.”‘

‘After the Bills tied things up the next drive with a field goal, both teams stalled their next possessions, until the Jets put together a 13-play, 86-yard game-winning drive that ended with a short field goal, putting them up 20-17.’

‘”It’s tough to win in this league when you’re playing a good team and your quarterback plays like s—,” Allen said. “I made some bad decisions (today), really cost our team. A lot to learn from, a lot to grow from, but that’s not the standard we hold ourselves to. That’s not the ball that we play. A lot to look at, a lot to learn from.”‘

‘But New York’s defensive unit has met the challenge on multiple occasions this year, led by playmakers like rookie corner Sauce Gardner, veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley, and their leader, fourth-year defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.’

‘Sunday will mark the third game the 10-year veteran has missed this season, all with separate injuries. Poyer, 31, missed Week 3 against Miami (foot) and Week 5 against Pittsburgh (ribs).’

‘”He’s more of a guy that’s just a weapon with the ball in his hands,” Beane said. “Whether it’s a punt returner, kick returner, as a receiver, he runs jet sweeps, he runs the Wildcat. We just felt this was a chance to add another guy that Ken Dorsey and Josh and the crew can use just as another offensive piece.”’

‘”I feel like my whole life, even when I got a second contract (last year), it’s always been about proving to other people,” Hines said. “I think throughout the years I’ve learned it’s not about proving to anybody. The Bills want me here, and that’s all that matters. It doesn’t matter what they gave up for me; I’m happy to be here. It’s an opportunity, it’s a new team and it’s a new situation. I’m not really going to press hard. I’m going to be me. I feel like these last five years, I’ve been me and that’s been good enough — and hopefully it will be here, too.”‘

‘White admits this was the first time he’s dealt with a major injury, and recovering from tearing his ACL last Thanksgiving has been a process — both physical and mental.’

‘Hines is a pass-catching back, which the Bills have been trying to add to the offense.’

‘They scored just 3 points in the second half, and the quarterback, Josh Allen, who does so many things well, made two really boneheaded decisions, throwing two interceptions in the second half when they could have put the game away.’
