‘In Buffalo, Beane worried the Dolphins would take Allen. He’d collected poker chips (two first-round picks, two seconds, two thirds) to move up. He traded limited veteran quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, who just helped Buffalo make the playoffs.’

Bills’ Shaq Lawson fined $33,425 for fighting by the NFL
‘Hyde was fined $13,369 for unsportsmanlike conduct and Jaguars safety Barry Church was fined $26,739 for unnecessary roughness during the game.’
Bills DE Shaq Lawson fined more than $33K for fight with Leonard Fournette
‘The exchange happened after Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief had what was initially ruled a 30-yard touchdown reception. Moncrief was battling for control of the ball with Levi Wallace when another Jaguars player hit Bills safety Micah Hyde from behind. Players then started shoving each other, including Lawson who made contact with running back Carlos Hyde. This sparked Fournette to run across the field and confront Lawson.’
Bills at Dolphins: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘The last time the Bills either threw an interception or lost a fumble to the Dolphins was on December 22, 2013. Remarkably, Buffalo has not turned the ball over to Miami in eight straight games. It’s a big reason they’ve won five of those contests and have averaged over 29 points per game over the last six against their AFC East rivals. If the Bills can continue that turnover-free streak, it will give them a great shot at winning their third in a row over Miami.’

‘For all of those reasons, I’m taking the Dolphins to win this one — in what can be a learning experience for Allen and the rest of the offense should the Dolphins play him like many are expecting them to.’
Bills’ Return To Miami Sunday To Be A Special One
‘”It’s going to be a surreal moment because you know the last time we were there, literally the last time we were in that locker room, it was one of the highlights of my career if not the highlight of my career,” said Eddie Yarbrough. “I’m definitely looking forward to going back and seeing my locker and knowing what took place there.”‘
Top 5 reasons the Bills will make waves Week 13 against Miami
‘It’s no secret that the Bills have a pretty young team. With a good chunk (35%) of the team’s offensive and defensive snaps going to first and second year players, it’s been impressive to see what they’ve been able to accomplish. Even though some of these guys, such as undrafted rookie Robert Foster who has managed 199 yards receiving in just two games, have only just started getting their feet wet, they’ve made plays. Another youngin’ who is earning his stripes is sophomore Matt Milano, who is tied for the league lead in takeaways. First-round pick Tremaine Edmunds has also been a force for the Bills and is leading the team in tackles.’
Fan Mailbag: Who’s the Bills defensive MVP?
‘As for the favorite right now, it’d have to be Milano with his play-making ability. He’s not only leading the team but is tied for the league lead. I don’t know if he can keep this pace up, but if he can sustain it a couple of more weeks he could very well be this team’s most valuable defender.’
Bills Today: Will turnovers again be the story between Bills and Dolphins?
‘While the Bills have been incredibly secure with the ball in recent matchups with the Dolphins, Miami has struggled to maintain possession. They’ve turned the ball over 18 times in their last 10 contests with the Bills, this compared to Buffalo’s two turnovers, both of which came in the 2013 season.’
