Andre Roberts’ speed putting Bills in good drive positions

‘He ranks fourth in the NFL in kickoff return average, 29.1 yards per return. He stands fourth in punt return average, at 11.9 per return. The kickoff return average is third best in his 11-year career and up from a 28.5-yard average for the Bills last season. The punt return figure also is third best in his career and up from 8.0 yards last season.’

Five Takeaways: Bills remain non-committal about Mitch Morse’s return as starter

‘”We’ll see,” coach Sean McDermott, speaking publicly for the first time since the start of last week’s bye, told reporters on a video call Monday. “He’s in the mix. We feel good about a number of the guys up front who are getting healthier now, finally. It’s been a while since we’ve had a consistent lineup, so we’ve got some guys and then some options available to us, Mitch being one.”‘

Bills Tight End Sweeney Diagnosed With Inflamed Heart

‘The second-year player has been sidelined by a foot injury since the team opened training camp in July, and began the season on the physically unable to perform list. Sweeney was then placed on the team’s reserve-COVID-19 list on Oct. 24.’

Bills TE Tommy Sweeney to Miss Rest of Season With Myocarditis, Sean McDermott Says

‘Myocarditis is a rare disease involving inflammation of the heart that can cause heart failure and sudden death. It is usually caused by a viral infection. While its exact connection to COVID-19 is still unknown, some studies, including by researchers at Ohio State University, have shown myocardial inflammation in patients who recovered from the coronavirus.’

Bills head coach Sean McDermott holds high praise for Justin Herbert

‘The 22-year-old has thrown 22 touchdowns to six interceptions, and averages 300 yards per-game. He throws confidently and spreads the ball around the field. He’s doing this with no NFL warmup — in fact, he found out he was making his debut just seconds before the Chargers’ Week 2 kickoff against the Kansas City Chiefs — and doing it quite well against some really strong defenses.’

Tommy Sweeney diagnosed with myocarditis

‘Sweeney has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list and hasn’t played this season. He was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list back on Oct. 24, along tight ends Lee Smith and Nate Becker, due to contact tracing protocols, after fellow tight end Dawson Knox had tested positive. He was removed from the list on Nov. 11.’

Opinion: Bills getting closer to winning first AFC East title in 25 years

‘The Academy Award for Best Picture that year was Forrest Gump. Some songs atop the music charts included “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio, “Waterfalls” and “Creep” by TLC. On the rock side, it was “Lightning Crashes” by Live, Pearl Jam’s “Better Man”, and Green Day’s “When I Come Around”.’

Opinion: What do the Bills need to do better?

‘Devin Singletary does not look like the running back we saw in 2019. He is averaging just 4.1 yards per-carry, down a full yard from last season. Singletary ranks 31st in the NFL, and rookie Zack Moss is behind him averaging just 3.8 yards per-carry. Singletary has been under four yards per-carry in seven of his 10 games, and Moss has been sub-4.0 in four of his seven games.’
