‘The Bills have lost three times by a grand total of eight points, in games where they did more to lose than their opponents did to win. Still, no team has proven to have the ability to beat the Buffalo when it plays to maximum potential.’

Bills Beat Browns 31-23 After Snow Shifts Game To Motor City
‘Plenty of supporters from both fan bases attended, chanting “Let’s Go Buffalo!” and barking like dogs.’
Bills credit Buffalo community after win: 'That was for you'
‘”Our plow guy couldn’t make it, so our neighbor called in a front loader in order to take the snow out and then our normal plow guy did come once,” McDermott said. “It was pretty cool just talking about, not sure what’s going to happen, not sure if we’re gonna be able to get out, and get five, six text messages to my wife and myself of neighbors and friends saying, ‘Hey, whatever you need, we’ll be there to help you.’ That’s pretty special.”‘
How Ford Field got ready for Bills-Browns: The quick turnaround, challenges, changes made to make it happen
‘Ford Field hosted an annual fundraiser Hob Nobble Gobble, raising money for America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, on Friday night. The field was tiled over and is covered with structures and carnival rides, meaning it would not be easy to turn it back into a football field in such a short time frame.’
Bills vs. Browns score, takeaways: Buffalo bounces back, takes care of business in 'home win' vs. Cleveland
‘Buffalo improves to 7-3, allowing it to match the Miami Dolphins’ record through 10 games with the Fins on bye in Week 11. The Bills defense that allowed 33 points a week ago in an overtime loss against the Minnesota Vikings absolutely stifled the Browns on Sunday, shutting them down for most of the second half. One reason can be credited to the return of safety Jordan Poyer, back after missing Weeks 9 and 10 with an elbow injury. Buffalo is now a perfect 6-0 this season when the 2021 First-Team All-Pro plays, and 1-3 when he doesn’t.’
Josh Allen sends love to Bills Mafia after win over Browns: 'Pay those fans some f—ing respect'
‘Bills fans were eager to assist team members in their quest to reach the airport Saturday after the city and its suburbs had been pounded by 77 inches of snow. They helped to clear players’ driveways with snowblowers and shovels to ensure that each member of the team would make it to Detroit.’
Bills escape snow, losing streak with win over Browns in Detroit
‘The Bills picked up right where they left off in the second half. Allen found Diggs twice on the opening drive of the second half helping push the offense into Browns territory. Buffalo ultimately came up short on third down and Bass was called into action once again. This time Bass nailed a 56-yard field goal, his third of the game.’
McDermott happy with rhythm Bills developed against Browns
‘”Very impressed by the way we ran the football,” McDermott said. “Both backs had close to 80 plus yards. They were running hard, taking care of the football. Good to watch our offensive line go to work the way they did.”‘
Allen, Bills not phased by crazy week in Western New York
‘”Obviously a crazy week. Didn’t practice Friday, practiced Wednesday with some guys out. So not your typical week,” said the Bills quarterback following Sunday’s win. “We’ve got some resilient guys on this team, guys that care about each other, and do things the right way. We play again here in four days so we’ve gotta get home, make sure we get some rest, recover the way we need to and be ready to go again.”‘
Opinion: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Browns at Bills (in Detroit)
‘Rookie James Cook and Devin Singletary both ran for 86 yards. Cook averaged a whopping 7.8 yards per-carry, while Singletary averaged a very good 4.8, but also added a touchdown runs and 11 yards receiving giving him 97 total yards on the day.’
Opinion: Bills get, what felt like, must-win game
‘Special teams deserves a game ball for their performance.’
Bills overcome snow & the Browns to improve 7-3
‘The absence of Tremaine Edmunds is noticeable as Cleveland continues to mix up the run and short pass catch strategy. The Browns start the Quarter by adding another field goal, taking the 10-3 lead.’
Detroit Bills Backers ready for 'Mafia's' extended stay
‘”It was a mix of. ‘Oh, shoot. Where are we going? What are we doing? What our plans? Where we get tickets? How can we support the team?’ It kind of hit us fast and furious,” said Kim Showalter, co-President of the Detroit Bills Backers chapter. “Myself and Fans of Buffalo, we were already planning, obviously, some things for Thanksgiving, so it became ‘What can we kind of steal from Thanksgiving Day plans that we can repurpose for Sunday?’ So we made that happen. A bunch of people were flooding our Facebook with questions and messages and comments. We kept it up, we were able to turn around a tailgate plan within about 2-3 hours after the announcement.’
