‘Yes, the video call feature on those iPhones. That’s what Daboll credits with establishing the pairs bond both on and off the field.’

‘”We really haven’t done anything yet,” continued Feliciano, “we have more we want to prove.”‘

‘Not only did the pair buy DeLunde a pair of blades (a type of prosthetics) but for his debut they flew Jackson and his mom Ashley to Disney World to celebrate.’

‘It’s a long game. I’ve been in games where we’ve started fast and hit lulls in the third quarter,” said Allen. “Being in these slow starts the last couple of weeks and being able to find it late, when it really matters the most, I think its the sign of a good team.”‘

‘Sunday night against Pittsburgh may have been his best performance in a Bills jersey.’

‘The 3rd quarter, normally an issue for the Bills, started out with a fantastic drive. Allen kept feeding Stefon Diggs and the drive was capped off by a pass over the middle for the 19 yard touchdown and the 16-7 lead. Then right after the Bills forced a 3 and out on Pittsburgh, Allen drove the Bills right down the field and finished the drive with a bullet TD from 23 yards to Gabriel Davis in the corner to make it 23-7.’

‘The biggest play of the year (and for many reasons the biggest play in a long time) was the Justin Zimmer forced fumble of Cam Newton to finally beat the Patriots. That won the game. But the play Taron Johnson made in the second quarter Sunday night was massive. The Steelers defense had dominated the game and Pittsburgh had a chance to keep and maybe extend the lead before half. Instead Johnson stepped in front of Ju Ju Smith Schuster and took it to the house. It was the first Bills defensive score since 2017 and it turned around what turned about the game to a huge win.’

‘I subscribe to the notion that it’s not always who you play it is when you play them. The Steelers are still a quality team, but for the last month they have been playing like a team waiting to lose. It happened against Washington. I think Mike Tomlin is really good about getting his team’s attention, but even he appeared to be frustrated with the wins and the poor execution. (His JV football reference after the Ravens win). I know the Steelers are banged up but I think they give a focused and ticked off effort and the Bills need to be ready.’

‘”They’re a top defense in the league.,” Sean McDermott continued, “They play hard. They play physical. They pressure the quarterback.”‘

‘In his first three seasons, Beane has helped end Buffalo’s playoff drought and brought the Bills to two post-season appearances.’

‘”I only thing I fear on the field, is letting my teammates down,” said Allen. “When you’re the quarterback of a team your job is to move the ball and score points so I fear not scoring points.”‘

‘This is the first time any Bills player has won this award 3 times in a season. Not Jim Kelly. Not Thurman Thomas. Not Andre Reed. This is the 4th time Allen has gotten the honor in his career. For some perspective, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson won it 5 times last year alone on his way to the MVP. And then Patriots star Tom Brady won the award 31 times in his career.’

‘”We’re still on the climb, we still are continuing to get better every week and you don’t want to fall off of that,” said Poyer after practice.’

‘Buffalo is 6-0 this season when Allen throws for 300+ yards.’

‘It might have been a surprise to people outside of Buffalo, but the Bills know what Allen is capable of.’
