Bills’ Sean McDermott planning late night after win to prep for Cowboys

‘“I’m going back to work,” said McDermott, who has just a 100-yard walk or so to his office at the team’s practice facility where the film work on the Cowboys is set to begin just hours after the Bills’ eighth win of the season. “I’m going to go over there and change and try and grab something to eat and get back to work here. Not a whole lot of time.”’

NFL Week 13 odds: Buffalo Bills open as touchdown-plus underdog to Dallas Cowboys

‘Despite the Cowboys hovering just over .500, the home team is a big favorite heading into Thanksgiving Day. Bovada’s opening lines for the game have the Bills as a 7.5 point underdog.’

Bills, Gore, Singletary, ran all over the Broncos on Sunday

‘“We could care less about the eyes of the nation being on us,” safety Micah Hyde said. “We understand it’s a prime-time game and a lot of people will be watching us on Thanksgiving, but we’re trying to get better each and every week. We’re not too worried about Joe Schmoe in Wyoming eating Thanksgiving dinner and watching the Buffalo Bills.”’

Another dominant performance from the Buffalo Bills

‘The Bills need to carry the momentum of the last two wins into Dallas and somehow find a way to contain one of the league’s best running backs in order to keep this impressive streak going. With Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England and the New York Jets remaining on the season, Buffalo can take nothing for granted. Although, after the last two weeks, 8-3 is looking pretty good.’

Buffalo Bills Week 12 Report Card: Gore, Singletary power Bills to 20-3 win over Broncos

‘It was offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s second straight game in the booth and it seems to be helping him make better decisions. He’s also been able to see a strong rushing attack put the Bills in position to win games. It’s smart of Daboll to lean more on the rushing attack. The Bills have two great running backs and he should be using them.’

Led by unsung White, Bills blanket Broncos

‘Broncos receivers Sutton, Patrick, DaeSean Hamilton and Diontae Spencer simply could not get open much against Buffalo’s shutdown secondary, headlined by cornerback Tre’Davious White.’

Shaq Lawson confronts Connor McGovern on the field after Bills’ blowout of Broncos

‘“To start the game, I think it was No. 60 (McGovern), he goes, ‘I haven’t remembered you since college,’” Lawson said. “I said, ‘I bet I show you.’”’

Monday’s Denver Coverage

Sorry, but Frank Gore doesn’t belong in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

‘The first few questions of the Keltner List, a series of admittedly subjective questions formulated by sabermetrician Bill James used to help assess whether a player deserves to be elected to his sport’s hall of fame, should be enough to cast doubt on Gore’s case, which relies heavily on longevity rather than star power.’

Bills Improve To 8-3 Following 20-3 Win Over Broncos

‘Rookie Ed Oliver and Star Lotulelei had a sack apiece, while cornerback Tre’Davious White snuffed out a potential scoring drive by intercepting Brandon Allen at the Buffalo 8 in the final minute of the first half.’

Frank Gore passes Sanders for No. 3 on rushing list

‘A model of durability, playing in 217 of 231 possible games, Gore, 36, could finish his career in his current position on the all-time list. He’s roughly 1,500 yards from the No. 2 rusher, Walter Payton, and 3,000 yards from the all-time leader, Emmitt Smith.’

Frank Gore passes Barry Sanders for third on career rushing list, and here’s how he’s stayed productive

‘What makes Gore special is his ability to make an impact on a game without needing 30 carries to do so. He has averaged over 4.0 yards per carry for a season on 11 different occasions. He’s averaged at least 4.6 yards per carry five times, including a career high 5.4 yards per carry in 2006. In 2012, the year he helped lead the 49ers to the Super Bowl, Gore averaged 4.7 yards per carry while earning his second of three straight Pro Bowl selections. Gore has also been an underrated pass catcher, with 464 career receptions and 18 career touchdown catches.’

Bills defense and run game dominates Denver in a 20-3 win

‘In the fourth quarter, John Brown made a tough catch that was originally ruled as incomplete, but review proved that Allen’s pass to Brown was a touchdown and gave the Bills a 20-3 lead to close out the scoring. To put the cap in the afternoon, Gore would then surpass Barry Sanders for sole possession of third place in NFL history for rushing yards in a career.’

Another stress free Bills victory

‘There really wasn’t much to complain about from the Bills perspective. Penalties would be at the top of a very short list. Buffalo was flagged 12 times for 90 yards. No time for the Bills to celebrate this one since they have a short work week and a Thanksgiving day matchup in Dallas. After the Cowboys come games with Baltimore, Pittsburgh and New England. Its a major step up in competition since all four teams currently have a winning record. Through the first 11 games of the season the Bills faced only two teams that have a winning record at this point, New England(loss) and Tennessee(win).’

Arrow Up/Arrow Down – Broncos at Bills

‘Lawson continues to have the best season of his career. He had two of the team’s four total sacks, resulting in 23 yards of losses, and also added three quarterback hurries.’
