‘“The Buffalo community has given so much to our Foundation,” J.J. Dalton said. “As soon as the preseason calendar was released, we circled this date and knew we had to do something special. The Hub is going to be a great distraction for young patients and their families, and we’re happy to be able to make an impact in that way.”’

Bengals QB Andy Dalton gets standing ovation from Buffalo Bills fans
‘The donations totaled more than $415,000 for the Andy and Jordan Dalton Foundation for seriously ill children — and before the game, the Daltons gave a portion of that money to the pediatric department of the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo.’
Dalton enjoys warm welcome in Bengals’ 26-13 win over Bills
‘Rookie Josh Allen struggled in his first preseason start , while getting little protection from an offensive line that allowed five sacks in the first half alone. He finished 6 of 12 and was sacked for more yards (39) than he had passing (34).’
Bills dodge bullet, QB Allen cleared of head injury
‘The team dodged a bullet after the seventh pick in the 2018 NFL Draft was taken to the locker room after hitting his head hard on the turf during the second quarter of Sunday’s game.’
Josh Allen says he held onto ball too long in first start
‘”Getting out there with the first team, obviously it’s moving really fast,” he said. “To see that speed, it was eye-opening. They have a really good defense. They came out and they brought it. But at the same time, we had plays in place that could’ve worked if I got the ball out in time. It just didn’t happen enough tonight.’
Bills QB Josh Allen passes concussion check, cleared to return
‘Allen was hit by a Bengals defender and his helmet hit the turf in the end zone after he threw a pass away late in the second quarter. Allen immediately reached for his helmet after his head hit the ground. He remained in the game for one play, a run by Marcus Murphy, before the game was stopped.’
NFL Week 3 preseason scores, schedule, updates: Josh Allen gets crushed, Nathan Peterman sharp
‘Instead, Sunday afternoon ended up being a nightmare for Allen and the Bills’ first-team offense. The nightmare ended with Allen in the locker room as he got evaluated for a head injury. Allen would be cleared to return by doctors, but when the second half started, it was Peterman under center.’
Should the Bills Roll the Dice With a Rookie QB Despite Putting Him in a Suboptimal Situation?
‘Amid all the analysis on the Bills’ projected Week 1 starter and 2018 first-round draft pick, how can the main takeaway not be that their massively depleted offensive line is going to seriously impact the trajectory of a player that is already undergoing some critical mechanical adjustments at warp speed?’
Bengals’ Andy Dalton gets standing ovation from Bills fans, throws TD on first pass
‘It’s been a love affair all week with the Bengals in town, a vastly different reception than what opposing QBs are accustomed to from the Bills Mafia.’
Final – Bengals bash the Bills 26-13
‘Allen and the Bills offense did not cross midfield in the opening quarter, with Allen going 5/9 for 28 yards in the first quarter. The offensive line gave up two sacks, had two false start penalties and gave up a lot of pressure on the rookie quarterback. Marcus Murphy had the Bills longest play with an 11 yard run.’
You Already Know, Don’t You?
‘We still don’t know anything about the careers of Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Lamar Jackson, or Mason Rudolph. But I do know one thing: I’m really glad the Bills are one of the teams in the 2018 QB Club. Every appearance from Allen feels like the football world is watching to see which teams came out of the draft, out of that club, and into a franchise-changing quarterback.’
Hamilton: McDermott should end the quarterback competition now
‘When you throw everything together, I would be pushing for Peterman if I was in McDermott’s meeting room. Again, that doesn’t mean it has to be that way all season, it just means he’d be my starter in Baltimore. To me, the quarterback competition is over.’
Sal’s Sticks: Bengals at Bills
‘I had been saying all camp that the one area of concern for me with this line was pass protection, and that deficiency showed up in a far too big of a way Sunday afternoon. Starting QB Josh Allen was sacked five times, and when he wasn’t being sacked, there was just too much pressure. Not every sack or pressure was the fault of the line. Allen could have gotten the ball out sooner, but it was clear from the very first series that they were having trouble blocking the Bengals front. I could write about several players specifically, but they all shared blame here. Something, or someone, or multiple things or people, have to change quickly if this OL is going to go to Baltimore week one and keep Ravens defenders off their quarterbacks’ backs.’
