Two Bills Drive

‘”It’s a city of winners. It really is, it’s a city of winners. These people, and this town, are winners. And I’ve been here just eight years, but I consider this my hometown. This place is different and the people here are different. They deserve more than whoever said that about them,” McDermott said after the Bills took down the Ravens, 27–25.’

‘Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, overjoyed at Bernard’s big-time play, hoisted his teammate over his shoulder and carried him from the end zone to the sideline.’

‘Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver wrestled Jackson down, but didn’t finish the tackle until Jackson was approaching the bench. Despite how far off the field the Baltimore Ravens quarterback was when he was eventually brought down, refs didn’t deem it to be an illegal move from Oliver.’

‘”Hey it takes everybody right? It takes f—– everybody,” Allen said. “I’m so f—— proud of you guys. I’m so proud of everyone in this room. You are here for a reason. And don’t forget that. It takes every single one of us. We’re not done yet.”‘

‘”We’ll do it again, baby,” Mahomes said.’

‘Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins was the lineman who drew the flag but the replay showed he didn’t do anything wrong.’

‘“I can’t tell ya that,” said the 28-year-old—who tallied two rushing touchdowns in Buffalo’s win over Baltimore. “I just know we’re gonna work hard and we’re gonna have a heck of a week. Gonna enjoy this one tonight and turn our attention to the Chiefs tomorrow.”‘

‘Amid the jubilant scenes of celebration, Allen had fans chuckling with his humorous interruption in the locker room during coach Sean McDermott’s fired-up speech. McDermott paused briefly for what seemed like dramatic effect, and Allen made direct eye contact with and suddenly started whooping and clapping. No one else joined him.’

‘The Buffalo Bills were tied with the Baltimore Ravens 7-7 with 1:45 left in the first quarter and facing second-and-16 from their 47-yard line when Allen walked to the line and yelled “Deadpool, Deadpool, Deadpool.”‘

‘”What an opportunity, man,” Allen said while surrounded by his guys. “Fly around, make some f—— plays, have some f—— fun. That’s it. Play for each other. Love y’all.”‘

‘While the intensity will amp up as kickoff approaches, Allen was seen well before the game sharing a special moment with a member of the Ravens defense who obviously means a lot to him. That guy? Cornerback Tre’Davious White, who was teammates with Allen in Buffalo for six seasons. White made two Pro Bowls and one All-Pro team during his time in Buffalo.’
