‘”We love to compete. You get to play within four days instead of waiting for seven days,” McDermott said on Monday. “Our fans get to watch us middle of the week; they’ve got something to look forward to.”‘

Upon Further Review: Bills' kick returners gave Josh Allen and Co. short fields Sunday

Jordan Poyer gets the bulk of playing time at safety in Bills' big win
‘During Sunday’s 44-32 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Highmark Stadium, Poyer played 58 of 70 defensive snaps – 83% of the team total.’
Sean McDermott says 'we'll see' about Keon Coleman's status for Bills' game Thursday
‘There’s not much time for both to get cleared to play. Plus, the Bills need this to work with Coleman. They spent a high second-round pick on him less than two years ago, and he’s shown flashes of being a productive perimeter receiver for Josh Allen. Coleman’s primary issue, on and off the field, is consistency. He had a breakthrough performance in Week 1, catching eight passes for 112 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s come-from-behind win over Baltimore.’
Alan Pergament: Watt, Eagle showcase chemistry, humor in entertaining Bills victory
‘In addition to sharp game analysis, Watt and Eagle joked about movie references, sideline reporter Evan Washburn’s hair and Bills tackle Dion Dawkins’ attempt to fool the officials in an attempt to avoid a penalty.’
Bills head south to face NFL’s top defense in Thursday night showdown
‘Down in Houston, the Texans are also a team riding a little momentum. They pulled off an incredible comeback victory two weeks ago, scoring 26 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat AFC South rival Jacksonville 36-29. Sunday, while they struggled mightily against the worst team in the NFL, they pulled out a last-second 16-13 victory in Tennessee to square their record at 5-5 which has them on the periphery of the AFC playoff chase.’
Bills vs. Texans injury update: Buffalo's revived defense may face backup quarterback
‘Houston Texans starter C.J. Stroud has missed two straight games since suffering a concussion in Week 9. Stroud was hit while sliding on a scramble by Denver Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine and Stroud’s head slammed against the turf. The initial flag for unnecessary roughness was picked up after review because there was no contact with Stroud’s head or neck area. Stroud lied on his back as he was tended to by trainers.’
That time Buffalo earned first win by upsetting Tom Landry's Cowboys
‘One cannot imagine a more embarrassing day in the illustrious history of the so-called America’s team than this one when the Dallas Cowboys made their first visit to Rich Stadium and somehow found a way to lose 14-3 to the woeful Buffalo Bills.’
Bills’ Josh Allen could be without two WRs for Thursday vs. Texans: Will Keon Coleman return?
‘Samuel injured his elbow and his neck, while Hardman left the game with a calf injury. Hardman made his season debut and was Buffalo’s punt returner just one day after the club released Brandon Codrington, who had been inactive the past few weeks after losing the job. Hardman played only four offensive snaps, but one was a deep throw from quarterback Josh Allen that the former Chiefs playmaker just missed.’
Houston Texans’ star player ‘not scheduled to return’ against Buffalo Bills (report)
‘Stroud, 24, remains in the concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in the Texans’ Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. It’s the second known concussion for the third-year quarterback.’
Tale of the tape: Bills settled down after being gashed by anemic Tampa Bay rushing attack in first half
‘But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gashing the Buffalo Bills run defense should have been a surprise, even for the 31st-ranked run defense in the NFL. The Buccaneers entered the game with one of the worst running games in the league, averaging 99.8 yards per game. They gained 202. Most of the damage was done by Sean Tucker, who started the season as Tampa Bay’s third-string running back. His season-high was 53 yards and he ran for 106 — 140 from scrimmage — and three total touchdowns.’
Team’s patience running out on Bills receiver Keon Coleman after third benching in two years
‘The Bills (7-3) aren’t about to move on from Coleman just yet because they’ve invested too much in the 22-year-old after drafting him with the first pick of the second round in 2024.’
Bills' Sean McDermott shares perfect message to Keon Coleman after latest misstep
‘“The important piece is that we and he learns from this and he grows from this,” McDermott said. “You grow from it, we can move forward, you don’t grow from it, it’s hard to move forward. So, ultimately becomes about developing trust and the trust that your teammates have in you, and that trust builds through repetition and consistency.’
Bills fans will love Sean McDermott's scouting report on Gabe Davis vs. Buccaneers
‘That is likely a bridge too far, but there’s no denying Allen’s confidence when he looks Davis’ way, and he even had a 22-yard reception against the Buccaneers, so it isn’t just short passes where Gabe excels.’
Bills non-committal on Keon Coleman's availability in Week 12 vs. Texans
‘“We’ll see,” McDermott said. “We’ll see how it goes. Take it one day at a time. We addressed the situation yesterday. We’re now moving forward, and we’ll take it one day at a time from there.”‘
