‘”It’s complicated. I never thought that this was going to come very quickly. I thought this was going to take time, because they’re very complicated agreements,” Poloncarz said Friday.’

Inside the Bills: Gabe Davis returns Sunday to the scene of his magnum opus
‘Davis had eight catches for 201 yards and a postseason-record four touchdown catches.’
PlayAction: Bills aim to block out Chiefs' dazzling 'eye candy' in red zone
‘Kansas City leads the NFL this season in scoring inside the red zone, with 18 touchdowns and four field goals in 23 trips inside the 20, also the most in the league. If the Buffalo Bills’ defense can get, say, two red-zone stops by forcing field goals in Sunday’s showdown at Arrowhead Stadium, that might be enough to secure a victory. It won’t be easy.’
Bills' injury updates: Morse, Elam, Jones are full practice participants
‘Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring), tight end Dawson Knox (foot/hamstring), defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (hamstring), safety Jordan Poyer (ribs) and cornerback Christian Benford (hand) were all limited for the second straight practice. Poyer and Benford were in red, non-contact jerseys, as was cornerback Tre’Davious White, who remains on the physically-unable-to-perform list and won’t play Sunday.’
How we see it: News sports writers make their picks for Bills vs. Chiefs
‘No doubt one concern for the Bills is the duo of Chris Jones and Frank Clark. Those two have the talent to foul up multiple Bills possessions. If the Chiefs try to stop the run with light boxes – six men – Jones and Clark might just be dominant enough to prevent the Bills from making Kansas City pay for that tactic. The Chiefs’ biggest stars – Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Jones – are good enough to beat any team if they all play their “A” games. But I think the Bills are the better team – 1 to 22. Bills 34, Chiefs 33.’

‘No one has been able to keep Allen down this entire year. Don’t expect the Chiefs to, either, this coming week.’
Bills CB Kaiir Elam will have his hands full vs Chiefs. Will KC look to target the rookie?
‘“After watching the film I was better than I thought I was,” Elam said, though making it clear he still wasn’t happy. “I have high expectations for myself and I know if I play at a high level like my team expects me to, our defense would have been a lot better. So I don’t think I played an F-minus, but I didn’t play like I was capable of and I need to be at my best every week.”’
Bills’ Stefon Diggs gets emotional talking about what Josh Allen means to him
‘“S***, like damn near everything,” Diggs told Miller. “I ain’t going to cap when I say that because shorty really changed my career. Like, from where I was to how I’m viewed now? I always saw myself as that player, but it was hard to put the pen to paper because my stats weren’t that immaculate. My play was good, but was it as good? Like, I used to run good routes, s*** like that, but I wanted to cement myself as one of the best players, if not the best player, in the league.”’
Can the Bills stop Travis Kelce? Their track record vs TEs offers some clues
‘The Bills have been as good against opposing team’s tight ends as any defense in the NFL. Through the first five games, Buffalo hasn’t surrendered a single receiving touchdown to a tight end. Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught five passes for 39 yards against the Bills in the opener. Since then, Baltimore’s Mark Andrews, Tennessee’s Austin Hooper, Miami’s Mike Gesicki, and Pittsburgh’s Pat Freiermuth have combined for six catches against the Bills for a total of 52 yards.’

‘“Josh is a great guy. He’s a great quarterback — physically talented, he can throw, can run. He can really do it all,” Mahomes said. “But he’s a great dude, too. And so obviously when we’re on the football field, we’re competing against each other and we want to beat each other’s teams, but I have a ton of respect for him, the player and person he is.”’
