‘”We all stem from the head,” he continued. “[Allen] touches that ball every single play. And not to say anything bad that ever happened was because of anything, that’s not what I’m saying. But when he is fully right and he feels fully complete, we have the best shot of winning. … You can see how he smiles, you can see how he is on interviews. You can see how he is running on and off of the field. You can feel how he’s playing. … That’s what’s different. It stems from 17, and the rest trickles down.”‘

Josh Allen gave piece of Bills history to 12 year-old in crown in Bills win over 49ers
‘In a terrific story by Michael Schwartz of WKBW in Buffalo, he gives all the details of Malachi Weems, who was celebrating his birthday at the game. The young boy was seen shirtless holding a sign that said he travelled 2,000 miles to see the Bills while sporting ‘Let’s Go Buffalo” painted on his bare chest in the freezing cold. His efforts earned him a game-ball from Allen, to which Malachi said he “blacked out” in the immediate aftermath. Now, he has a piece of Bills history.’

Bills bring back safety Micah Hyde to practice squad: 'Buffalo is home'
‘McDermott said Hyde’s leadership piece is “for sure” part of it, and they’re now going to “see where it goes.” Hyde served as a captain in the past and was a major leader on the defense.’
Mark Gaughan: Josh Allen has found sweet spot as a running QB in Bills' offense
‘“I think he’s a highly competitive player that has also adjusted his game to the modern NFL game,” coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday. “And he knows when it’s time, and he knows when it’s not time. You’re never going, to me, to take someone’s athleticism away from them. I just think Josh is in a good, healthy spot with it. And he’s done a great job this year of taking care – when he’s had opportunities to slide or get out of bounds, he’s done that. I think he’s really doing a great job with it.”’
Jim Kubiak: Why Josh Allen's night in the snow was nearly perfect – and more proof of his growing maturity
‘The Bills’ offense ran the football 68% of the time, controlling drives with 6 more minutes in overall time of possession. The Bills scored five touchdowns and finished drives when they needed to. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady had another excellent game plan as he was able to use a sixth offensive lineman to consistently gain a power advantage while causing the 49ers to adjust with base defensive sets and eight-man fronts.’
Erik Brady: Mack Hollins would have liked Mack Yoho, who scored for the Bills every which way
‘That’s how it was in the days of limited rosters, when kickers and punters typically came from the ranks of position players. The Bills would herald the age of the kicking specialist when they brought in Pete Gogolak, pro football’s first so-called soccer-style kicker, in 1964. That’s when Buffalo traded Yoho to Boston, where he played one season for the Patriots before retiring.’
Bills bring back former All-Pro safety to bolster defense in stretch run: What we know
‘“Yeah, just had a feeling,” the backup safety said Wednesday following the Bills’ walk-through practice. “We didn’t clean his locker out. That 2-3 and all his stuff was still there this whole time, since the end of last season to now. So it’s like you got that feeling in the back of your head when you know he’s going to come back. He’s not done yet. Yeah, man, I just felt it. So it’s always good to have him back, though.”’
