‘Still, the concern over Hyde is rising, as he’s reportedly set to have a second opinion on his neck injury he sustained during the team’s 41-7 win against Tennessee last week.’

‘Head coach Sean McDermott said multiple players were being held out of Thursday’s practice, and several others were limited.’

‘The team announced Tuesday that Jackson underwent tests, which determined there was no major injury to his neck or spinal cord. He underwent further tests Tuesday.’

‘Dan Mealy of Jamestown showed up dressed as Josh Allen. “I’m going to play, of course, to win the game,” Mealy said. “I’m going to take what the defense gives me, and we’re going to win this game so we can come into next week for first place against Miami.”‘

‘They even roasted their opponent, Nashville hot chicken, keeping bills fans fed, and even some fans from the other team. “We just hope everyone has fun,” they said.’

‘Jackson is listed as questionable, and Settle is doubtful, but both seem optimistic they’ll be good to go for the home opener.’

‘”A lot of season ticket holders were selling their seats [last year],” said Nick Giammusso, president and CEO at VIPTIX. “This year, [our company] has seen a 500 percent increase [in sales for Bills games] year-over-year from 2021, but that comes with an asterisk.”‘

‘The injury issues for Jackson could mean both rookie corners – Christian Benford and Kaiir Elam – will see increased playing time for Monday night’s game against the Titans.’

‘”Monday night, it’s showtime – back on prime time again, we’re there for a reason, too,” said Stefon Diggs. “I feel like this team, we’ve been through the good and the bad. We’ve been through the rain, we’ve been through the storm, so when things do get a little sunny like on a Monday night, why not shine?” [There’s] going to be a lot of energy, so you just got to bring it.”‘

‘Titans running back Derrick Henry might be the best in the league. He’s certainly the biggest. At 6-foot-3, 247 pounds, Henry is the same size as Bills pass rusher Von Miller.’

‘”Hasn’t been any expectations for the Bills like this coming-up season,” he said. “I’m sure the fan base will react to that, and I’m sure they’ll be loud and rowdy and it will be a great atmosphere to play in on Monday night.”‘

‘”Definitely just let him know positive energy, positive affirmation, that we’ve got your back,” wide receiver Stefon Diggs said. “S— happens. It’s football. I think we had another turnover, we had picks, we had fumbles and stuff that’s more self-inflicted, and nobody’s perfect. As a young guy, things are going to happen. Hopefully he learns from it, continues to grow from it. I believe in him 100 percent.”‘

‘”There haven’t been many games that we’ve had where we didn’t blitz, but we had the luxury with the way the game was going on Thursday night, the way the guys were performing up front, that we could do what we did,” Frazier said. “Ideally, that’s how you want to do it — and some of the players after the game, in the locker room and even in our meetings with our defensive line, they were like, ‘Way to go, Coach, without any pressure,’ and I said, ‘Let me tell you guys, I can’t promise you it’s always going to be that way, but y’all keep doing what you’re doing, it will look like that.'”‘

‘”After watching the game, I didn’t think he took any big shots, which is obviously a factor for us in terms of how he runs,” Dorsey said. “Watching it, I think there’s times where we just tell him, ‘Hey, in this situation, make sure you’re getting down and making sure you’re not taking any extra hits.'”‘

‘Josh Allen threw for nearly three hundred yards, three touchdowns, was the Bills leading rusher and also ran in a score.’
