‘Dawkins is dealing with a concussion, while Brown has a shoulder injury. McDermott said that Dawkins was cleared to return to the Week 12 loss vs. Houston by an independent neurologist, but displayed concussion-like symptoms the next day. Allen’s blind-side blocker is a four-time Pro Bowler, and a major reason why the NFL introduced the new Protector of the Year award this season to honor the NFL’s best offensive lineman.

Inside the Bills: Wide-open AFC race may be team's saving grace
‘The Bills don’t need to look back too far to be reminded of a similar situation. During the 2023 season, the Bills were 6-6 before running off five straight wins to clinch the division title and the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs on the final day of the regular season.’
