Bills’ Josh Allen plays hero late in Thanksgiving thriller vs. Lions (Report card)
‘Josh Allen had to elude pressure early and often in this one. With Mitch Morse out due to injury and the team losing Dion Dawkins to an ankle injury in-game, Detroit was able to get plenty of pressure on Josh Allen. Spencer Brown’s up and down play only added to the struggles of the offensive line. Buffalo needs this unit to get better quickly with a slate of AFC East matchups on the horizon.’
Bills pull off dramatic win over Lions, lose Miller to knee injury
‘A.J. Klein put forth a solid effort as Tremaine Edmunds’ replacement, finishing with nine tackles. Edmunds missed the game due to groin and heel injuries. White started the game opposite Jackson, but he appeared to have a limit on his snaps, as he wasn’t seen much, if at all, during the second half.’
O.J. Simpson opens up about record-breaking game in Bills' 1976 Thanksgiving loss
‘“He never said give me the ball, I never heard him say that once,” DeLamielleure said. “O.J. was one of the best teammates I ever had. What happened after football, I don’t know. But that guy was very unselfish. He did everything to promote the offense, the offensive line. I like Gary, we’re friends, but he wasn’t ready to play at that time.”’
