Three questions: Thoughts on the Bills' 12-day odyssey, McDermott vs. Belichick, Von Miller's absence
‘Let’s not minimize the circumstances. The Bills just played three games in 12 days on the road with a banged-up roster and went 3-0. No NFL team ever has been scheduled to play three road games in 12 days. And the Bills overcame a blizzard week in the process.’
How It Happened: Allen, Cook, defense help Bills notch first AFC East win of the season in New England
‘A 15-play, 94-yard, touchdown drive took 8:55 off the clock. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs felt the methodical drive showcased what the offense can do when each player does his part.’
Plays that shaped the game: It was shades of wild-card rout as Josh Allen put Pats' spy in a blender
‘Wilson is a 24-year-old, 233-pound speed linebacker. Allen is a fifth-year, 240-pound speed quarterback. As Allen escaped the pocket and sprinted toward the right sideline, Wilson grabbed him. But Allen shrugged him off and leapt as he reached the sideline to throw.’
Report Card: Coaching staff deserves credit after third win in 12 days
‘The Bills won three games away from home in 12 days. For some on social media who act like the team is 3-9 instead of 9-3, just remember that.’
Von Miller out four games as Bills place star pass rusher on injured reserve
‘Beane said the move is not the result of any change in the diagnosis of Miller’s sprained knee injury, suffered in the Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit. Miller avoided a torn anterior cruciate ligament, which would have put him out for the season. But Miller confirmed this week that he suffered lateral meniscus damage. The meniscus is cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in the knee.’
Al Bemiller, two-time AFL champion with Buffalo Bills, dies at age 84
‘“I thought the city was great because it was like a small town where I came from,” Bemiller said. “It’s not a big, big city and the people here were very good to us and I enjoyed every moment of it.”’
Bills cruise to 24-10 victory over anemic Patriots on Thursday Night Football
‘The Bills methodically moved the ball on offense, relying as much as their resurgent run game as they did Josh Allen’s arm, and then when Allen needed to make a play, naturally he made it, two of which were touchdown passes that ultimately decided the game.’
Buffalo Bills report card: James Cook breaks out, defense smothers Patriots
‘The Bills offensive line really struggled in pass protection, particularly tackles David Quessenberry (before he got hurt) and Spencer Brown, but they were strong in the run game. The Bills possessed the ball for a season-high 38 minutes because they were able to grind the Patriots down by running, a sentence I don’t type too often.’
Bills place Von Miller on injured reserve: What we know
‘He has also been a hugely important player in the locker room as a team leader, plus as a mentor to young edge rushers such as Greg Rousseau, A.J. Epenesa and Boogie Basham.’
Let James Cook: Bills’ rookie back runs wild on Patriots defense (Report card)
‘Cook was the star of the show with over 100 yards of total offense. Cook rushed for 64 yards on 14 carries (4.6 YPC) while adding 41 yards receiving on six receptions. Tonight was the type of game that Buffalo envisioned when they drafted Cook in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.’
Bills defense causes Patriots’ Mac Jones to throw expletive-filled tantrum in loss on Thursday night
‘At one point late in the game, Jones came off the field and yelled out: “Throw the fu—– ball. The fu—– quick game sucks.”’

Bills place Von Miller on injured reserve, linebacker to miss at least next 4 games
‘Bills general manager Brandon Beane said via a pool report that the move is to give Miller time to recover from a knee injury that he sustained last week against the Detroit Lions. The plan is for Miller to return later this season and by placing him on IR before the Patriots game, he can potentially return for a critical Week 17 AFC matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.’
