‘The last time Geno Smith threw a pass against the Buffalo Bills, Doug Marrone was in his final year as head coach. Rex Ryan was still coaching the New York Jets.’

After ending skid, Seahawks hope to stay on upswing when they host Bills
‘All five of Buffalo’s wins have come against teams that have losing records entering this weekend.’
Seahawks hoping to contain Bills high-scoring offense
‘Key matchup: Amari Cooper vs. Seattle secondary. Riq Woolen looks likely to play after sitting out the past two games with an injury, but Tre Brown did not practice Wednesday. If Brown is out, Josh Jobe and Nehemiah Pritchett would step in at cornerback. Jobe had six tackles against the Falcons.’
Amari Cooper ready to 'pounce' on more chances with Bills
‘”Yeah, of course. I mean, I think that’s why they traded for me, definitely ready for an increased role, definitely ready for more opportunities,” Cooper said Thursday when asked about being ready for more of a role. “I’m ready to pounce on it.”‘
Bills-Seahawks: Josh Allen vs. Mike Macdonald, other key matchups, game analysis
‘For the Bills, their matchup against the Texans was probably their biggest disappointment — particularly with Allen starting the game 3-of-9 and finishing with just 131 passing yards. The Houston defense is impressive, but as we saw with the Packers this week, the Texans are beatable — particularly if C.J. Stroud takes his foot off the gas. But it’s not necessarily an outlier, because the Bills have currently lost every game to an over-.500 team (Texans, Ravens) and won every game against .500-or-worse teams (Cardinals, Dolphins, Jaguars, Jets, Titans).’
Mics Caught Josh Allen's Classy Postgame Moment With Titans Defender After Bills' Win
‘NFL Films got some fun footage of Allen and Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons mixing it up a little bit during the game, with the quarterback going to the ref at one point to complain about a late hit by Simmons. Allen could also be heard telling Simmons in a joking manner: “You’re so tough.”‘
Tom Brady gives high praise to Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen ahead of Week 8 matchup vs. Seahawks
‘”One of my favorite players in the league – Josh Allen,” Brady said. “He had 323 yards and two [touchdowns] against the Titans on Sunday. They got off to a little bit of a slow start, but they came flying back. I love to see him cleaning up the turnovers. He’s yet to throw a pick this year – that’s incredible.”‘
Dawson Knox's lack of usage could create a Bills' trade deadline move
‘With the Bills clearly favoring Dalton Kincaid at this point, and playmakers on offense getting traded left and right, Buffalo would be wise to see what they could get on the trade market for Knox, who is still as good of a tight end as most in the NFL.’
Limited change to Bills' injury report Thursday
‘For a second-straight day, linebacker Terrel Bernard was excused from practice for personal reasons, but was still listed with an ankle and pectoral issue.’
Keon Coleman named NFL's Rookie of the Week
‘In the seventh game of his young NFL career, Coleman caught four passes for 125 yards, averaging a whopping 31.3 yards per-reception to help the Bills earn a 34-10 win at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.’
Amari Cooper is building a rapport with Josh Allen, getting more comfortable in Bills offense
‘”I have a better understanding of what we’re trying to do offensively,” Cooper said. “How we’re trying to attack, things of that nature, so definitely more comfortable.”‘
Buffalo Bills player named Rookie of the Week
‘The last time a Bills rookie accomplished this, according to the team’s PR social media page, was in 2014 when Sammy Watkins had seven receptions for 127 yards during a 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos.’
Watch: Keon Coleman stars in a new commercial, with Niagara Falls as the backdrop
‘A Booking.com commercial featuring the rookie wide receiver has gone viral this week. There’s no shortage of footage from Niagara Falls and Maid of the Mist, and there’s an even an Easter egg for savvy Bills fans.’
