'Put it on the line' | How the Bills plan to bounce back in heavyweight showdown at Lions
‘”I’ve seen consistently this year them being very urgent,” McDermott said. “I think there’s potentially things that factor into that, whether it’s coming off of the couple games that we come off of and perhaps maybe losing just a little bit of the urgency… So what has to be in front of us this week is the opportunity that’s in front of us, quite frankly, to challenge that team. It’s going against a 12-1 team, and at their place, it’s going to be a heck of an environment.”‘

Analysis: Bills need to get more production from blitz in wake of loss to Rams
‘The Bills’ blitzes were ineffective against Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. He completed 5 of 8 passes for 94 yards and one touchdown against the blitz. Another blitz play resulted in a defensive pass interference penalty on Ja’Marcus Ingram and a Rams first down in a third-and-9 situation.’
After disastrous performance, can Bills defense regroup vs Lions' explosive offense?
‘The run defense was leaky, the third-down defense was horrific, there was no pass rush pressure, and the back seven – normally the strength of the unit — could not have covered sumo wrestlers Sunday as Rams receivers were running wide open all day at SoFi Stadium.’
Buffalo Bills coach sees Amari Cooper’s 14 targets as ‘good sign’ despite catch rate
‘“I think there is a chemistry there that’s been born,” McDermott said on Monday. “Is it complete? Probably not, and they would probably tell you that. There’re still working through some things, as you saw in the game yesterday. And I think that’ll continue to grow. I think the great part about it is Josh, and we’ve all seen it, he’s going to the receiver that he should go to. He’s going through his progression, so whether it’s Amari, in this case, or Mack (Hollins) or whomever.’

Buffalo Bills make NFL history in most embarrassing of ways in loss to Rams
‘The Bills scored six touchdowns on offense and didn’t turn the ball over. Teams that have done that throughout the Super Bowl era were 245-0 entering Sunday – the Bills were the first team to score six touchdowns, not turn the ball over, and lose, per Dante Koplowitz-Fleming on X.’
Bills' $68 million mistake is coming back to haunt them
‘Ed Oliver was given a four-year, $68 million deal ahead of the 2023 season, and he had a very strong season coming off that contract. The former first-round pick had a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2023 and looked poised to build off that in 2024. Unfortunately, the season Oliver is currently having does not back up the contract he is playing on. He has just eight solo tackles this season and one sack. He’s on pace for a career low in total tackles and sacks, and that lack of impact has hurt the Bills when it comes to stopping the run and getting interior pressure in the pass game.’

'Impact the next generation' | Damar Hamlin teams up with Senator Schumer to champion AED Bill
‘”Since experiencing cardiac arrest, I’ve been honored to work with partners who understand how important it is to provide CPR education and have access to AEDs to save lives,” Hamlin said. “I’m very grateful to Senator Schumer for his work making his common-sense legislation a priority. My journey has shown us that no one expects cardiac arrest to happen- and we all need to be prepared. Working together, we have the chance now to protect kids and impact the next generation. I hope that every Senator will lend their support for this bill and that my experience with cardiac arrest will help lead to lasting change.”‘
