Despite Macdonald’s optimism, Metcalf did not participate in practice leading up to the game. Considering the severity of the injury, it seemed that missing at least one game was the likeliest outcome.’

‘“Even when there’s lulls of on offense or when we might not be clicking all the way … as long as those drives are ending in a punt … we have an opportunity to flip the field,” Brady said. “Being able to regroup and not feel like, ‘Oh, man, we got stopped because we turned the ball over,’ whether it was a fumble or an interception. And so not playing scared, not playing conservative, but understand the importance of, if we can just protect the football for 60 minutes, good things usually happen.”’

I think that work ethic is part of the reason why he’s been in the league and been as successful as he’s been over the years. That’s going to continue as we move forward here, and anxious and excited to see where that leads us this week and into the future weeks here.”‘

Carucci Take 2: Josh Allen’s efficiency will be tested when Bills face the Seahawks
‘The fact he has taken such great care of the ball, though, has gotten largely overlooked. Yet, it’s a major factor in the Bills’ 5-2 start and will likely continue to have plenty to do with their quest to be a serious postseason contender. For Allen, it’s a significant turnaround from last season, when he threw a career-high 18 interceptions, which was second-most in the league behind Sam Howell. Allen went only three games without a pick in 2023.’
