‘But that attitude is not conducive to long-term success.’

Dawson Knox ignites Bills’ offense with touchdown, big gain against Bengals
‘“I see it every day, the way he works. I know what kind of person he is,” fellow tight end Lee Smith said. “He ain’t got to flip on a switch. That’s just who he is. I think the Buffalo Bills should be super excited about having that young man in this tight end room.”’
Bills embrace ‘Buffalo vs. Everybody’ in making tough plays
‘“The Buffalo vs. Everybody sweatshirt Daboll walked in with, that says it,” Smith said. “He’s a Buffalo guy. He didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth. That’s the way our whole offense is. We might not have the superstar players, but we also don’t have the egos. We got a bunch of dudes that love each other, want to fight their butt off for each other. Daboll’s tougher than hell, and that trickles down to the entire offense. And bar fights is what it’s all about.”’
Quarterly report: Fast start and big finish for Bills
‘Bills right guard Jon Feliciano went out with a neck injury late in the quarter. Cody Ford took his spot, with Ty Nsekhe playing right tackle.’
Running game grinds out strong game in Devin Singletary’s absence
‘One area of concern: Two weeks in a row, the team has sleep-walked through the third quarter. McDermott and Co. need to do a better job of making halftime adjustments going forward.’
Bills pay tribute to Pancho Billa before home opener

Allen orchestrates game-winning drive as Bills beat Bengals to stay undefeated
‘Given the way the Bills dominated the first half, this one should have been over long before it was but, they are, after all, the Bills. Nothing is ever easy.’
Roth: Bills let Bengals hang around too long and nearly paid the price
‘But this was also a correction to the rising stock that was Josh Allen. He made a half dozen poor decisions and the offense went into a funk. Another stellar effort by Buffalo’s Top 10 defense was nearly squandered. Let a team hang around, and bad things happen.’
Maiorana: Buffalo wins a game so many previous Bills teams would have lost
‘This group, the third of the Sean McDermott era, is wired differently. It does not quit, does not let adversity drain it of life. And that characteristic, more than any other, is why the Bills recovered from a lousy second half where they blew a 14-0 lead and pulled out a pulsating 21-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.’
Bills report card: Allen throws another horrific pick but deserves credit for comeback
‘Look, picks are going to happen. Even that guy in New England throws them once in a while. But this particular type of interception, the one that very nearly sent the Bills tumbling to what would have been a mortifying, soul-crushing type of loss, has to stop, here and now.’
Allen made this Bills’ win tougher than necessary
‘The bad is that Buffalo’s performance against Cincinnati was strictly not-ready-for-prime-time. This game never should have been a 4-point win. And after the first half, they should not have trailed. When a team wins the turnover battle, 4-2, and has a 110-yard edge in offensive yardage, it shouldn’t come down to a tipped interception in the final seconds to secure the victory.’

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen on facing Patriots in Week 4: ‘Stick to what we do’
‘“The Patriots are very well coached and they got a guy over there that plays quarterback quite well, you know No. 12 (Tom Brady). (Maybe) the greatest quarterback of all time,” Allen said. “We understand it’s a tall task but at the same time we’re going to try and stick to what we do. Learn from this game, make adjustments, and go out and try to put our best foot forward next week.”’
Bills’ Dawson Knox was ‘grown ass man’ on rampage catch and run to set up winning TD
‘Sylvester Stallone’s iconic character John Rambo made his name on a relentless violence that left bodies in his wake. Knox, 22, caught a ball from Bills quarterback Josh Allen at the 50-yard line and left a pair of Cincinnati defensive backs laid out behind him as he put the Bills in scoring position at the Bengals’ 22-yard line down a field goal.’
