‘”I’m proud of our team, how we battled tonight,” Allen said. “Obviously it didn’t start off how we wanted to. Guys just kept their head down, didn’t panic, didn’t blink is what we like to say in our locker room, trusted the game plan, trusted situational football and got a W tonight. That was our only goal, to come in here. If it’s by 1, if it’s by 100 — it’s another win. That’s what we’re trying to do each and every week.”‘

‘After cruising through Pittsburgh last week, the Week 6 matchup was close throughout.’

‘It’s safe to say the Chiefs have had the Bills number when it counted the most, beating Buffalo in the AFC Championship game in 2021, and crushing the hearts of Bills fans with a miracle last-second comeback in last season’s playoffs.’

‘“As a football fan myself, when I’m watching games, I love watching him play,” Allen said. “He’s a fantastic player. He can do everything you want. He’s a special football player and a special guy. Any time he’s playing, I think people are watching.”’

‘Sunday’s matchup with the Chiefs will be the fifth meeting between the two teams in three seasons.

‘”Making all that noise out there, you can hear him from a mile away,” said cornerback Taron Johnson. “It’s just exciting to have him back out there, and I can’t wait to see what he does when he gets back.”‘

‘”There’s going to be things where guys have to get us out of bad plays,” said offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. “I’m not going to call the perfect play every time. I’ve got to trust those guys that Josh is going to get us out of a bad play, or Gabe or Stef or somebody’s going to make a play.”‘

‘The 424 yards were the most in regulation in team history, and second-most by a quarterback in any NFL game so far this season — trailing only the 469 yards thrown by Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa in Week 2.’

‘After being slowed by injury the previous three weeks, Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis provided a big spark in Sunday’s win against the Steelers.’

‘In the second half, the Bills shut out the Steelers — as they’ve done to every team but one so far this year.’

‘In other NFL cities, these agreements have included things like parks, landscaping and youth sports.’

‘Hodgins has been dealing with injuries ever since being drafted by Buffalo in the 6th round in 2020, and this marks his first true chance to make an impact on the field. He’s only suited up for one regular season game in his career so far, failing to log any receptions.’

‘”Growing up, my dad (taught me) one of the main things was to control my emotions. Even the other day, Diggs and them were talking about ‘I can’t tell if you’re nervous or not, or how you’re feeling.’ Me, I just laugh. How I’m talking to you is how I am 24/7 — just a cool, chill, laid-back person — that’s just who I am.”‘

‘Poyer reportedly had X-rays on his ribs after Buffalo’s win at Baltimore last Sunday. The 10-year veteran safety appeared to be wincing in pain after intercepting a pass in the Buffalo end zone late in the game.’

‘Three Bills players either played with or against Pickett during his days at the University of Pittsburgh, and they all said the same thing about him Wednesday.’
