‘“Cam has done so much for this team, and it’s gone unnoticed, quite frankly,” nickel cornerback Taron Johnson said. “He’s played nickel, corner, safety. He does it all. So having a guy like that who’s ready whenever someone goes down, it’s huge. He’s a playmaker.”’

Alan Pergament: Like the Bills, CBS' Eagle, Davis weren't on their 'A' game
‘Since they have called two of the poorer performances by Allen this season, Bills fans might consider starting a petition to keep them away from Buffalo playoff games.’
Erik Brady: The house that declares its love for Christmas and the Bills ... not necessarily in that order
‘Long loves the Buffalo Bills, too. You can see that in his game day outfits: Bills overalls, Bills socks, Bills cap, Bills jersey. (He wears Josh Allen’s 17 or Bruce Smith’s 78, depending on his mood.)’
Playoff seeding still on the line for the Bills: What to know about Week 17 matchup
‘Now the Bills turn their attention to another woefully disappointing division rival, the 4-11 New York Jets Sunday in the Highmark Stadium regular-season finale. Depending on what happens in the Christmas day doubleheader, the Bills could have the No. 2 seed in the AFC bracket wrapped up because if the Steelers lose to the Chiefs and the Ravens lose to the Texans, it’s over.’

Upon Further Review: Bills produce perfect play on James Cook's momentum-shifting touchdown run
‘“Knowing they’re going to bring pressure, you know they’re going to get to the outside,” Torrence said. “So you got to make sure you got the backside. My job was to get to my man and push up fast. Once I got to him, I pushed him fast and I saw Jimbo running right behind me.”’

Bills' Sean McDermott avoids making airplane analogy for team after 9/11 reference controversy
‘Bills head coach Sean McDermott was asked about the team’s first-half performance on Monday. He said he was going to make a plane comparison but didn’t want to step in it. “Um, let’s see, I was about to use an airplane flying analogy but I’ll stay away from that,” he said.’
Bills' 'sloppy' play vs. Patriots leaves work for postseason
‘”I thought we played sloppy in the first half in particular, and then just overall we’ve got to clean some things up,” McDermott said. “Second half was a lot better, and [we] controlled the line of scrimmage offensively and defensively with the takeaways. Can’t start a game the way we did, kickoff return and just getting off to an overall bad start. I applaud the guys for finding a way and the coaching staff as well. Made adjustments at halftime, but again, plenty to work on coming out of this game. We’ll look at the tape and make sure we continue to adjust.”‘
The Bills' defense needs to take a hard look in the mirror before they cost Buffalo a trip to the Super Bowl
‘And while everyone is quick to point out that Buffalo was missing Matt Milano and Rasul Douglas, I frankly don’t want to hear it. It’s Week 16 – every team is banged up. There is no excuse for throwing Baylon Spector on the field and watch as the Patriots run every play directly at him. There is no reason why the 26th ranked offense on third down should be able to convert on their first five third downs and go 7-of-12 overall on the evening.’
Bills head coach Sean McDermott shows sense of humor with reference to 9/11 analogy
‘”I was about to use an airplane flying analogy but I’ll stay away from that,” McDermott said.’
