Ryan O'Halloran: MVP caps 'few good months' for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen
‘“That meant a lot,” Allen said. “The atmosphere we have in Buffalo, I take a lot of pride in because I think the quarterback helps set the foundation and standard. I love when players leave and come back because they want to be back – that means a lot to me and means a lot to the players. We have so much fun in our locker room. We joke around a lot, but when it’s time for business, we get down to business.”’
Super Bowl observations: Eagles' transcendent defensive performance against Chiefs shows Bills the way
‘The Eagles were relentless in their pressure of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and they needed just four rushers to do so.

Eagles give Bills the blueprint to beat Chiefs in Super Bowl: Go get Myles Garrett or Maxx Crosby
‘The Philadelphia Eagles and their defensive line abused Patrick Mahomes all game. Vic Fangio’s unit was able to get pressure with four all night, and it resulted in one of the biggest blowouts in Super Bowl history. Mahomes was sacked six times and threw two interceptions, which led to the offense not having as much pressure on them, but still being able to pile on the points.’
