‘Gov. Kathy Hochul made the announcement in a press conference shortly before noon Saturday, stating the game had been moved to Monday at 4:30 p.m.’

‘It’s not about it being too cold to play. It’s about making sure that about 70,000 people are off the roads during a crushing winter storm. It is a public safety issue.’

‘Anyone planning to go to Highmark Stadium will want to wear a few extra layers, as a nasty mix of wind, cold and snow is set to hit the area.’

‘Johnson racked up a career-high 98 combined tackles, including 72 solo, along with three forced fumbles and eight passes defended.’

‘Anyone age 18 or older — with proper working papers and identification — who’s interested is asked to report to the stadium at 10 p.m. Saturday and bring a shovel.’

‘”We’ve been through a lot of games here where we’ve had to, no pun intended, weather the storm,” McDermott said. “It affects a lot of things. It affects how you play the game, how you manage the game. When we have that here, it’s an added dimension to our preparation.”‘

‘Wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee), linebacker Tyrel Dodson (shoulder), cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee) and safety Taylor Rapp (calf) all missed practice Thursday for a second straight day. Offensive lineman Dion Dawkins and tight end Dawson Knox also missed Thursday’s session with illnesses.’

‘Martin, 33, joined Buffalo at the end of the 2022 preseason. The 11-year veteran spent his first seven seasons in Detroit, followed by two in Denver.’

‘”Great win for our organization, great win for our fans — both those that were there and those that weren’t,” he said. “As a coach, you’re so in the moment. We’re fighting every play to try and get the result we’re looking for. You don’t realize the amount of people that are there to support you — to support our team and support you. It just, to me, symbolizes how special Bills Mafia is and the lengths they go to to support their team.”‘

‘”You could feel his vibe. You could feel the vibe of the offense out there, just a different energy,” coach Sean McDermott said. “Again, the ball finds you, and Josh was doing a good job, what looked like to me, of going through his progression and he was playing the position at a high, high level. He’s as good as there is when he does that.”‘

‘With Buffalo trailing Miami 14-7 early in the fourth quarter Sunday night, Harty returned a punt 96 yards for a touchdown to tie the score.’

‘Even though the Bills are winning, fans admit that paying for this new stadium is a hard pill to swallow. Fan Alex Fischer enjoys going to the current stadium but wishes the financial burden wasn’t passed down to all New Yorkers.’

‘”It speaks volumes to those guys and who they are —their DNA,” head coach Sean McDermott said. “They’re not household names, and they haven’t been all season, but they continue to work and they’re ready to go when their number is called. That’s how they’ve been all season long. That’s how you win.”‘

‘When Hill played for the Chiefs, he crushed the Bills. Buffalo has done a better job defending him since he was traded to Miami.’

‘”I think more than anything, there’s an identity that’s started to take shape after that game,” McDermott said. “Obviously, the change was made, but sometimes, what’s more impactful is how people respond to the change and how people respond to adverse situations. So, I started to see our team coming together. I started to see an identity form and be built and take shape, and again, the credit goes to the players for taking the reigns at that point.”‘
