‘If it’s possible for a player’s market value to increase without playing in a game, that might have happened while Edmunds was sidelined because of heel and groin injuries. In the three games Edmunds missed either all or part of the defensive snaps – against Minnesota, Cleveland and Detroit – the Bills allowed 33, 23 and 25 points, respectively. Those are the three highest-scoring games of the season by opponents.’

Tre'Davious White's snap count doubles from his Thanksgiving return with the Bills
‘In his second game since coming back from knee surgery, White played 33 defensive snaps during the Bills’ 24-10 victory over the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. White played 16 snaps in his season debut on Thanksgiving against Detroit.’
Analysis: Bills running game made Patriots pay for light boxes against Josh Allen
‘The New England Patriots played a ton of dime defense – six defensive backs – in an effort to put a lid on the Bills’ passing game. The Bills made them pay by running successfully against the Patriots’ smaller defensive personnel.’
Ken Dorsey Watch: Bills varied personnel vs. Patriots
‘Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey mixed his personnel groupings a lot against the New England Patriots. With New England committed to keeping extra defensive backs on the field, the Bills were able to impose their will to a decent degree. The Bills used “big personnel” (two backs or two tight ends) on 30 plays. They ran 21 times for 88 yards in those situations, and passed 5 of 8 for 58 yards.’
Alan Pergament: Al Michaels was off his prime days in a sleepy Bills win but Kirk Herbstreit was solid
‘But Michaels also didn’t have his characteristic excitement level on a couple of touchdowns, including Josh Allen’s amazing touchdown pass to Gabe Davis as the scrambling quarterback was close to being out of bounds with the Patriots’ Mack Wilson draped over him when he threw the pass.’
Bills get a second chance at division rival, this time at home. What to know about Week 14
‘Zach Wilson was benched, and rightfully so, after his disgraceful performance in New York’s loss to the Patriots on Nov. 20, and then for the petulant way he refused to accept blame. White shredded a terrible Bears defense last week in a 31-10 victory, and the Jets need him to continue to play that well starting Sunday in Minnesota. One thing is for sure: The Jets seem to prefer playing for White.’
An unshaven Josh Allen admits he took deal with Gillette in part to troll Patriots
‘“I think people understand that I kind of took that Gillette – it’s a great sponsor to have,” Allen said. “but I know where this stadium is at. I knew who plays here and the fans here.”’
Sullivan: Dorsey dials up best game as balanced Bills move back to the top of AFC
‘“They were playing some two-high shell and basically daring us to run it,” said Allen, who was 22-for-33 passing for two touchdowns and no interceptions (he lost a fumble). “I thought Dorsey did a good job of staying patient. Our guys did a good job of holding on to the football, making some good cuts, making some good runs and moving the chains when we could.”’
Sabato: Bills prove they can grind opponents into submission
‘Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs made some spectacular plays in Buffalo’s 24-10 win, but the Patriots decided they weren’t going to allow Allen to carve them up in chunks. Allen took risk for improbable reward a couple times, but for the most part, the Bills took what was offered and hammered away.’
Bills looking to extend success against AFC East opponents
‘Buffalo’s upcoming games will be hugely important in that divisional race. Ahead of games against the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins, the Bills still have one less divisional victory than every other team in the AFC East. At 8-3, the Miami Dolphins are currently behind Buffalo in the divisional standings, but have a 2-1 record in divisional games.’
Bills post epic troll after Patriots beat down: ‘How do you like them apples?’
‘After shutting down the New England Patriots 24-10 on “Thursday Night Football,” the Buffalo Bills took to Twitter to mock the seven-time Super Bowl Champions, using a scene from the 1997 classic film “Good Will Hunting,” which was of course set in Boston.’
Bills' Sean McDermott says 'I closed my eyes' when Josh Allen made wild TD pass to Gabe Davis against Patriots
‘”I wasn’t looking, I closed my eyes when he threw it,” McDermott said, smiling, via NFL.com. “That’s a part of who he is. So, you know … bottom line is you can’t put the ball in trouble in danger and I thought it was a well-calculated throw and he was open, and he got it to him. You never take away Josh’s instincts and his gut feeling. He’s got a great feel for things, but at the end of the day, he knows we got to continue to be smart with the football.”‘
Bills make NFL history by becoming the first team to pull off these two impressive feats
‘First, the win over the Patriots gave the Bills three Thursday victories this season, which is the most in NFL history.’
Josh Allen Makes Wild Claim About Jay Z
‘Despite Jay Z giving Allen a pretty legit bro hug, the quarterback claimed afterward that he thought Jay might not have known who Allen was.’
Opinion: Patriots still not in same league as Bills
‘The final score might suggest the Bills-Patriots game was a close contest but it was not. When the Bills took a 17-7 lead with five and a half minutes left in the second quarter, it felt over. When the Bills capped off a 15 play, 94 yard, nearly nine minute drive with a touchdown to extend the lead to 24-7 early in the fourth quarter, you could have changed the standings and given the Bills their ninth victory.’
