‘“They just play sound football,” Shakir said in a one-on-one interview. “I think their defense and offense, they just click on all cylinders. I think they gel really well together. I think as a team, you can tell that they play for each other. For us to go there and catch them, I think the main thing for us is taking care of the football.”’

Bills have worrying 'trend to watch' ahead of playoff push
‘Running back James Cook has been superb all season, rushing for 1,308 yards and eight touchdowns, but in the last two games, he has had four fumbles (two in each game). Considering Cook had just two in his previous 11 games before his fumble issues, that’s a little alarming.’

Sean McDermott encouraged by Bills' recent display of toughness, resilience
‘“I think it’s an important thread of our team, and we’ve always been a tough football team, a tough organization,” McDermott said Monday during his press conference. “It’s something we take a lot of pride in, and in order to play down the stretch, handling some of the situations and managing those things, you’ve got to have toughness. That’s an important piece of playing good football.”’
Upon Further Review: Sean McDermott nails his fourth-down decisions in Bills' big win
‘“Honestly, there was no conversation,” Allen said after the win about what to do on fourth down. I came to the sideline and thought it (the play to Knox) was a touchdown. Obviously, they said it (was not a touchdown) over the Jumbotron, and it was just calling the personnel for the offense, so we’re just going back in. So, I really trust coach McDermott for being aggressive tonight on fourth downs. I know early on in the game, too, we converted on a few. So, yeah, it feels good to have that trust in him.”‘

Bills look to keep AFC East title in play in showdown with Patriots
‘If the Patriots win Sunday, they clinch the division, plain and simple. If they lose, well, then the mettle of a team that has feasted on a historically easy schedule will be tested. They have a road game at desperate Baltimore which will likely be difficult, a road game at the pathetic Jets which probably won’t, and then a home finale against the suddenly revived Dolphins which could be tricky depending on whether the Dolphins are somehow still alive in the wild-card race.’
Tale of the tape: Dawson Knox benefited from Bills exploiting dreadful Bengals tight end coverage

For reference, Jordan Love leads the NFL in EPA per play for the season with a 0.303. Allen more than doubled that in the win over the Bengals.’
