‘We knew it was only a matter of time.’

‘The Bilsl thought they had the game won when Allen put together a spectacular drive to give Buffalo the lead with just 13 seconds left.’

‘”These last couple years have been a little different. Everyone is socially distanced, has to wear a mask, but it’s still nice we’re still able to come together and cheer on our favorite team,” said Rayna Kent, manager at The Exchange.’

‘She credits the success of the store for a few reasons. “I think the timing of the Bills having a good season helps,” says Hali. “The ‘shop local’ mentality has really grown during COVID. So, I think that’s been a big help for me, too, rather than people going to Dicks or Target and buying.”‘

‘Josh Allen played a game that was about as close to perfect as you can get in the NFL. He led the Bills on touchdown drives the first 7 times they had the football en route to the best playoff game of his career.’

‘”This is January in Buffalo. We’re built for this,” said Nate Myers of Buffalo.’

‘”You have to stay warm. Once you get cold, you’re going to be cold the rest of the day. You want to stay warm right from the get-go and keep moving around,” said Whipple. “The biggest thing for Bills fans and, even us as coaches – preparation is everything.”’

‘The Bills defense dominated rookie quarterback Zach Wilson with the most sacks ever (9) by a Sean McDermott coached Buffalo defense.’

‘Isaiah McKenzie, getting a chance to start in place of Cole Beasley (Covid) put together a spectacular game. Josh Allen put on his own show of throwing and running and the Bills survived a Patriots comeback in the 4th quarter to win. The Bills and Patriots are tied in the standings, but Buffalo has an edge in the tiebreaker because of their AFC East record.’

‘According to ESPN, Davis will also be out for next week’s game with Atlanta because unvaccinated players must sit at least 10 days.’

‘Seven Bills were named alternates which is a polite way to say they were snubbed. Most notably, Josh Allen and Jordan Poyer.’

‘Beasley was outspoken during training camp about the separate sets of rules for players that had gotten the vaccine and those that did not. Today on social media he responded to criticism he is receiving after testing positive.’

‘”We have had conversations and I have made it clear to the Buffalo Bills organization that we wanted to accommodate both options and let them see the costs of both downtown and Orchard Park and not putting the finger on the scale and if their desire is Orchard Park, it’s Orchard Park and we have never said otherwise,” she said.’

‘But they got moving in the second quarter and they capped it off with a rare thing in 2021, a substantial run to the endzone by a Bills running back.’

‘As of right now it would appear Dion Dawkins will not play in the game, but there is a possibility that could change. Dawkins has tested positive for Covid-19 for a second time, but is fully vaccinated and under the NFL Covid protocols he could still play Sunday.’
