Bills' Josh Allen defends Stefon Diggs' sideline behavior
‘”He’s a competitor; he’s a fiery competitor. I’m tired of hearing all this nonsense from people,” Allen said. “There’s a lot of guys in the league that have that same fire that don’t get talked about. He’s a lot of our juice on the sideline, making sure the offense is staying up and as energized as possible and we feed off of that.”‘
Bills, Sabres fire top executives due to 'unethical circumstance,' per report
‘The Bills and Sabres parted ways with the executives due to an “unethical circumstance” created by a “romantic relationship” between Roth and D’Angelo, per Graham’s report. Roth was D’Angelo’s superior, which raised potential problems within both organizations.’

McDermott confident players will step up when needed
‘”Like I’ve said before multiple times, you never replace a player,” said McDermott on Wednesday. “I don’t like to get into comparing players, I don’t think that’s healthy. Overall, it’s the job of the person who is stepping in to do the job, and we have full confidence in that player, whoever that player is. A piece of this is those guys can’t play, they’re not able to play. A piece of it is playing for those guys too, because they were a big piece of this team, and still are, but they can’t help it so much now. So we play for them.”‘

Buffalo Bills place LB Matt Milano and DT DaQuan Jones on injured reserve
