‘”Film study is important against a team like this,” said Cole Beasley. “Then in-game, you have to do a good job of making adjustments. It’s all a process and it doesn’t end.”‘

‘The former Jet and most recent Chiefs linebacker is expected to join Buffalo on Monday.’

‘”We’re focused on one game right now,” said McDermott, “we’re in late October, early November and that’s really what we’re focused on right now.”‘

‘”I think that Josh [Allen] does a good job of going to some of the secondary outlet receivers based on the coverage, where that takes him and if it’s open he’ll throw it for sure.” Belichick said in a press conference on Wednesday.’

‘Hughes put up a series of stats that no Bills player had ever accumulated before with a pair of sacks, a forced fumble and a game sealing interception in the 4th quarter. The Bills defense dominated the Jets in the second half, holding them to a total of 4 yards.’

‘The Bills offensive line is hoping to get a big boost with the return of guard Jon Feliciano. In his second season in Buffalo, missed the first 7 games of the year after suffering a torn pectoral muscle during training camp this year. The move on Tuesday does not necessarily mean Feliciano will play against the Patriots. The team needed to make a decision on his roster spot by this week and activated him, otherwise he would have been on season ending injured reserve.’

‘The Bills were the “Little Engine that Could ” team, led by Ryan Fitzpatrick, Stevie Johnson and Fred Jackson. They started off the game against the powerhouse Patriots about as poorly as anyone would have hoped. New England took a 21-0 lead and Tom Brady and company looked well on their way to another easy one. And then the comeback began. Ryan Fitzpatrick put on a show with 369 yards passing and a pair of touchdowns. He nearly had a 3rd when Jackson caught a pass over the middle and made it to the goal line. The good news for the Bills was that he was short of a touchdown. Good news because they were able to use all of the clock and set up Rian Lindell for the game winning field goal on the last play of the game. The Bills prevented Brady, who had thrown for 386 yards and 4TD’s from getting another shot.’

‘”I thought they rose to the challenge,” said Sean McDermott. “It was great to see.”‘

‘”I thought he played well yesterday,” said Daboll, “You’d like to hit some of those big plays when you get an opportunity to, but when they’re taking them away, he’s gotta make good decisions, and I thought he did that yesterday.”‘

‘The Bills defensive coordinator says the players performances in their 18-10 win over New York reminded him of Buffalo’s defense of 2018.’

‘Another 4th quarter drive stalled inside the red zone when Allen was sacked on 3rd and 4. Bass came back to kick his 5th field goal of the game to stretch the lead to 15-10 and then later added a 6th. Then it was Jerry Hughes, who had his best game of the season, that closed out the win by catching a deflected pass for the interception.’

‘The Bills defense has received a ton of criticism for their inability to get pressure on the quarterback and to force negative plays. But that was not the case at Met Life sStadium, certainly in the second half of the game. They knew that had to come thru with big plays and they did.’

‘The defense was fantastic in the second half, so there is a positive. But the offense moved the ball and could not get in the end zone.’

‘The shorthanded Bills will have linebacker Matt Milano and cornerback Tre White active for today’s game with the Jets. The two key defensive players had been listed as questionable. The Bills are already without Josh Norman and John Brown. Once again defensive lineman Harrison Phillips is a healthy scratch.’

‘This news has very little impact on the game against the Jets on Sunday. Knox was already ruled out for the game, Sweeney is on the PUP list and Becker is on the practice squad.’
