Family calls for change after young WNY cancer survivor's bad experience at first NFL game
‘”We got there a little early,” Mia’s father Mikey DeCamilla said. “I knew it was snowing, we’re from Rochester, it takes about an hour and a half. From the beginning, these folks behind us — I don’t know if it was the same guy or not, I didn’t pay attention — but they were, on purpose, throwing snowballs at Niner fans. They even said it out loud, ‘We’re going to be hitting Niner fans in the head all game.”‘

What they're saying | NFL analysts react to Bills clinching their fifth consecutive AFC East title
‘”Six straight games, 30 plus points in a driving snowstorm. We’ve been saying this- When you get Superman, you don’t want to overuse him. And for years they didn’t have a home run, hitter at running back. Now they do… They’ve always had a great left tackle. They’ve rebuilt their offensive line. This is the best version of Buffalo, and I believe in the AFC they’ve sort of separated… Buffalo is built for this stuff… They’re going to win this division, as long as Josh Allen is in his prime, which is five more years… This is the year for Buffalo. They’re mostly healthy, they could get the number one seed, they’ve got a superstar quarterback, good front office, no chaos in coaching… This feels like the year for the Bills.”- Cowherd’

Upon Further Review: With AFC East title secured, No. 1 seed becomes the Bills' next target
‘“We said it in the locker room: ‘This is not the finish line,’ ” he said. “There is still a lot of games where we can get better and roll into the playoffs. Obviously, it feels good clinching a playoff spot like that this early on, but this isn’t the finish line. We’ve still got a lot of ball left. We’re excited.”’
Matt Milano's snap count shows Bills wasted no time getting him right back into the mix

Position grades: Bills on record pace for turnover differential after rout of 49ers
‘The Bills, however, are protecting the ball better than ever under McDermott. Buffalo has just seven giveaways, second behind the Los Angeles Chargers (six). Buffalo had 28 giveaways last year (23rd fewest) and 27 in 2022 (30th). The last time the Bills were among the top 10 in fewest giveaways was McDermott’s first season, 2017.’
Joe Brady watch: Bills powered up in wintry conditions vs. 49ers
‘The Bills bulked up with big personnel groupings on 68% of the offensive snaps in the win over San Francisco. It made perfect sense, given the snowy field conditions. The Bills used extra offensive lineman Alec Anderson as a jumbo tight end in a three-receiver formation with no traditional tight end on the field (10-plus personnel) on 10 plays. It worked. James Cook’s 65-yard touchdown run came out of that grouping. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady had run 10-plus personnel only three plays in the first 11 games of the season.’

Upon Further Review: Bills found a play that worked and ran the 49ers ragged
‘The play used by the Bills was a zone run play, a staple of their running play, called “duo.” It’s a hybrid between a zone and gap-scheme play — players block the nearest man in their zone rather than an assigned defender — and the objective is to get a double-team by the guard and tackle at the point of attack.’
