‘Since joining the team in 2017, Dawkins has made a big impact both on and off the field. He is particularly known for his foundation, Dion’s Dreamers, which supports children in underserved communities.’

Where's the deep ball? Why the Buffalo Bills could 'get it rolling' downfield
‘Running the ball has worked well as of late for the Bills, who are 12-2 when James Cook gets 100 yards or more on the ground. But the resurgence of the run game has taken a bit away from the Bills’ downfield passing game. As the Bills gear up for winter football, starting with the Cincinnati Bengals, they will want to have at least the threat of a deep ball. With Allen now able to look toward Cooks or wide receiver Gabe Davis, those opportunities may be back in play.’
Analysis: Bills have been clutch in December, and they will need to keep it up
‘“There’s an element to playing football and especially in Buffalo,” offensive coordinator Joe Brady said. “When the leaves have all fallen, we hope we’re playing our best ball.”’
Bills edge rusher Joey Bosa week to week with hamstring injury
‘Wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) and linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) were unable to practice Wednesday. The Bills’ starting left tackle, Dion Dawkins, rejoined the team for the walk-through as a limited participant, but he’s still in concussion protocol, coach Sean McDermott told reporters. Bosa is considered week to week, McDermott added, which means the edge rusher could miss anywhere from one to four or five weeks. It’s too soon for the team to determine the severity of the hamstring injury.’
Bills cornerback Christian Benford named AFC Defensive Player of the Week
‘It’s the first time Benford has been named the conference’s defensive player of the week. He became the third Bills player ever and the first since 2010 (Drayton Florence) with a fumble return for a touchdown and an interception in the same game. Florence accomplished the feat against the Bengals on Nov. 21, 2010.’
Ex-Bills receiver Elijah Moore joins Denver Broncos' practice squad
‘The Broncos are Moore’s fourth time in five seasons, and he requested to part ways with Buffalo last week because he was not satisfied with his role in the offense.’
Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen didn't fly high vs. Steelers, but believe it: He was masterful
‘Allen’s overall performance grade in this game of 96% reflects his ability to do his job on each play. In many cases, that was to get the Bills’ offense into the right running play or the correct middle-linebacker identification for his pass protection. There were times when Allen flashed his remarkable skills. His eight runs in this game mattered, as they came on important downs and kept drives alive, and his score in the fourth quarter put the game out of reach.’
Bills likely without top pass rusher vs Bengals: Latest injury report
‘“From what I’m being told, we’re thinking a week-to-week type of deal,” McDermott said Wednesday before the Bills conducted a walk-through practice. “But that can be perceived one of two ways. Is it week-to-week? Is it one week? Or is it like week-to-week as in four or five weeks? So we’re hoping on the shorter end of it. Joey’s intent on getting back as soon as he can, he loves to play, and so you saw his impact last week there.”’
Buffalo Bills sign Super Bowl-winning cornerback off waivers
‘The move gives Buffalo a decorated, experienced option in the secondary as it make a playoff push. Slay won Super Bowl LIX with the Philadelphia Eagles last year.’
Is the Bills’ playoff push in jeopardy after losing their sack leader at the worst time?
‘The Bills signed Bosa to a one-year contract after the veteran dealt with multiple injuries in his final few seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. The belief was that Buffalo would keep an eye on Bosa’s usage rate to try to keep him fresh for a late-season playoff push. Instead, Bosa has posted a 65% snap count this season – the highest amount of snaps he’s played in a season since 2021.’
The Bills just added a Super Bowl champion cornerback days after he was benched against them
‘Slay recently fell out of favor in Pittsburgh and was a healthy scratch by coach Mike Tomlin last Sunday in the Steelers’ 26-7 loss to the Bills. The Bills are healthy at cornerback at the moment, but Slay provides veteran depth in case they’re hit by an injury at the position.’
Darius Slay once called Josh Allen ‘amazing’ and now he’s joining the QB’s team at the perfect time
‘“I don’t know why a lot of media are giving him bad talk because of turnovers,” Slay said. “You can see he threw the ball 51 times, you know what I’m saying. I don’t know a guy who can throw it 51 times … per game and not turn the ball over. I know you want to take care of it, but if you’re throwing the ball 51 times, you’re going to throw an interception … it’s just going to happen.”‘
Bills CB Christian Benford named AFC DPOW
‘The former sixth-round pick was the third Player of the Week winner for the Bills this season, joining James Cook (Week 8) and Josh Allen (Week 1 & 11), who were awarded AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors earlier this season.’
Shaq Thompson challenging defense to be Dogo mindset a week after the Bills answered his urgent call
‘Inconsistency has plagued the Bills in all three phases — offense, defense and special teams — at various times throughout the season. But no unit has been more mercurial than the defense, which has a habit of flipping from bad to go, not just from game to game, but half to half.’
The best Bills defense for Joe Burrow might be keeping him off the field, avoiding a shootout
‘A Josh Allen-Joe Burrow matchup seems tantalizing on the surface. It seems like a game built for those who like high-scoring games. The duo are among the best passers on the planet, both having a claim to the top spot alongside Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes. Throw in a Cincinnati Bengals defense that allows the most points and yards in the NFL and a Buffalo Bills defense that’s been erratic all season.’
