‘”I feel like we’ve grown quite a bit since that game,” QB Josh Allen said. “Going back and watching it obviously wasn’t our best effort. Felt like we didn’t play our best football.

Ryan O'Halloran: Welcome to the biggest game of Sean McDermott's head-coaching career
‘It’s time for the Bills to break through and return to the AFC championship game. It’s time for them to end their second-round home losing streak at two (and overall second-round losing streak at three). It’s time for them to make a statement they merit being involved in any conversation of NFL superpowers and not just a regular-season force.’
Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady balancing game prep, head-coaching interviews

‘By almost every statistical measure, Baltimore is the best running team in the NFL.
