Two game losing streak hasn’t shaken Bills
‘“It’s the NFL. You’re going to lose sometimes,” Cole Beasley said. “Outside of the building, people love to react. It’s not like that in here. We know the reality of the business. Those guys (on other teams) are getting paid, too. If you don’t put your best foot forward every week, you can lose.”’
Thad’s Three Things: Bills at Jets
‘This game still falls firmly in the “should win” category for the Bills, but they’ll have to work for it like every other week. And there will be no vitriol from this keyboard if Buffalo does not win by a gazillion.’
Dawson Knox tests positive for COVID-19
‘This news has very little impact on the game against the Jets on Sunday. Knox was already ruled out for the game, Sweeney is on the PUP list and Becker is on the practice squad.’
5 Bills-Jets to watch today in Jersey
‘I know the Bills haven’t exactly opened up holes for Singletary, but it’s about time he helps out on his end. After a decent start to the year, Singletary’s carries have been a dud over the last 3 weeks. He is averaging under 3 yards a carry during the Raiders, Titans and Chiefs games. His longest run all season has been 18 yards. There is no question the Bills believe they need more since they made a play for Le’Veon Bell. The pressure is on Singletary to perform and playing the Jets might be just what he needs.’

‘Buffalo has elevated four players from its practice squad, including wide receiver Duke Williams, offensive lineman Jordan Devey, linebacker Andre Smith, and rookie cornerback Dane Jackson.’

Bills Today | What you need to know about Buffalo’s two available tight ends for Sunday
‘The Bills will have Tyler Kroft and Reggie Gilliam at the tight end position. The veteran Kroft has started two games for the Bills this season and has six receptions for 36 yards and two touchdowns. Gilliam joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent and switched from fullback to tight end before the start of the season. His lone reception of the year came in Week 2 against the Dolphins and it was a one-yard touchdown grab.’
For Bills, it’s a ‘can’t lose’ game
‘As McDermott concluded, “We’ve got to earn the right to win this week.” Even though it’s a “can’t lose” game.’
Take Five: For Bills, nothing less than dominant win vs. hapless Jets will do
‘It’s fair to say the Bills don’t belong in the discussion as one of the NFL heavyweights, because they’ve been knocked out by two, the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs. But they sure as heck should be far superior to the Jets, who they beat in their season-opener and who could very well be one ugly loss away from saying goodbye to coach Adam Gase.’

‘The former first-round draft pick has endured an undeniable regression in 2020, and that is part of the reason why the once-formidable Bills’ defense has played poorly for most of the year.’

Tre’ Davious White questionable, Josh Norman out vs. Jets | Here’s what Bills might do at CB
‘When White missed the game against the Tennessee Titans, McDermott gave second-year cornerback Cam Lewis, a University at Buffalo product, a chance to fill in. The coaching staff felt he performed well under the circumstances and he started in place of Taron Johnson in the slot when White returned against the Kansas City Chiefs. But Lewis injured his wrist in the first quarter of that game and has been in a club-like wrap on his hand ever since, participating in a limited capacity this week during practice. He’s questionable to play Sunday.’
