‘But that hasn’t been the case for Bills tight end Dawson Knox. He’s played in five games, and his five targets rank dead last on the team. Knox is tied with third-string rookie running back Ray Davis, who also has five targets in the passing game.’

Ryan O'Halloran: Post-concussion, Bills safety Taylor Rapp to wear Guardian Cap over helmet

Bills-Jets to test ‘new coach bump’ theory
‘Curious how often teams actually win immediately after a coaching change, I looked over the last decade in the NFL (since 2015). Saleh is the 23rd head coach to lose his job during the season since then. Over the previous 22 changes, 13 interim coaches won their debut the following week and nine lost. Considering these are usually bad teams we’re talking about, that’s not a bad win percentage (.591) at all. Of the nine who lost their debut, the last three all lost by three points or fewer, but the previous six lost by double digits.’
NFL/NFLPA chime in on whether Josh Allen actually cleared concussion protocol vs. Texans

Under that program the parties jointly identify, retain and train the Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultants and Booth Spotters.”’
