Community rallies around the Bills
‘From the moment that the Buffalo Bills clinched a spot in the NFL playoffs, celebration ensued among fans. Like they have since the team’s inaugural season, the loyal, passionate and proud people of the City of Buffalo, the entire Western New York region and fans across the globe, have embraced the Bills. In honor of the team’s upcoming AFC Wild Card game in Jacksonville, members of the community have once again come together to express their excitement and offer their support.’
Scouting Report: AFC Wild Card – Bills-Jaguars
‘Buffalo may not be able to completely shut down Leonard Fournette, but they have to slow him down to the point where the Bills put the Jaguars in long down and distance situations. This will give Buffalo the matchup they want, Bortles versus their opportunistic secondary.’
7 things to watch for in the Bills-Jags AFC Wild Card game this weekend
‘The playing status of LeSean McCoy will command much of the attention this weekend leading up to kickoff. And if he can’t go, or is limited, the status of RB Marcus Murphywill get much more attention.’
Quick Hits: McCoy limited in practice
‘“LeSean we’ll see him do some things today and we’ll go from there,” said head coach Sean McDermott. “One movement at a time right now. We’ll just see how he does through the individual (position) part of practice and go from there.”’
Bills Today: The most meaningful playoff berth for Hyde
‘“Oh it’s 10 times more exciting,” said Hyde. “The way we got in, watching the game after our game, it was one of the greatest sports moments I’ve ever been a part of.”’
Special teams have been rock solid for Bills
‘“From a week in and week out consistency basis, I definitely think it’s an improved unit,” Crossman said. “The biggest thing is, we had a good nucleus of guys to start with. That set a nice tone through training camp and the initial part of the season.”’
Marcell Dareus admires Buffalo’s feat, while basking in Jacksonville’s success
‘”I’m just happy they got over the hump,” Dareus said. “I’m happy for the guys that have been there and fighting with me to get things going to where it is now and get the opportunity to get in the playoffs.”‘
Bucky Gleason: Bills bracing for Dareus at his best
‘The Bills missed him along the defensive line this season, but they’re better off overall without him. He was the most overpaid defensive player in the league after signing the monster deal. But there’s no escaping this truth: At his best, when healthy, when motivated, when engaged, Dareus is among the best defensive tackles in the NFL.’

Kyle Williams moved by text from Kent Hull’s son
‘”I had hundreds of texts after the game,” Williams said. “Drew Hull texted me and said, ‘I want you to know that your boys are always going to remember that. Take that from someone who was there with my dad, Kent, during those years. And I have never forgotten that.’
Bills’ best chance could be if ‘Bad Bortles’ shows up
‘Bortles has a tendency to take risks down the field. He has thrown 47 picks over the last three seasons. Buffalo’s Tyrod Taylor has thrown only 16 during that time.’
For the Drought Kids, finally a chance to step into the light
‘The Drought Kids are a hearty bunch. Not only has middling football been a way of life, but so too has been listening to stories of the esteemed “good old days,” days when the Bills were terrorizing the NFL. The stories of going to four straight championships have been teased as actual happenings, the notion that the offense and defense were both good in the same season marveled.’
