‘Knox enters Sunday’s wild-card game against the Denver Broncos with moderate numbers (22 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown), but his 14.1-yard average is a career high, and nine of his receptions have been explosive gains (at least 16 yards).’

Buffalo Bills leadership council a chance to check 'the heartbeat of the locker room'
‘It’s not the only meeting that starts with a dad joke for the Bills. On Wednesday mornings, around 7:30 or 8 a.m., McDermott meets with 13 players from the Bills to set the tone for the week and to get feedback relayed from the rest of the team. It’s an extra meeting for those players, but you won’t catch them complaining.’

For Bills’ Allen, the real prize is Lombardi trophy
‘“I’ve been watching him for a long time and he just does a lot of crazy stuff that only he can do,” defensive end A.J. Epenesa told the Times Herald after the home regular season finale against the Jets. “And just watching him this year, I don’t understand how it’s even a question. He’s set records for the program, he’s set records for the NFL, he’s set records for just the Bills overall. And he’s doing it without a star on his side, you know what I mean? I don’t even think it’s a debate. I watch him play each and every week and I’m amazed every single time and I watch plenty of other football, I see what other guys are doing, obviously they’re doing well but I think Josh has skyrocketed past them.”’
