Inside the Bills: How rookie quarterback Jake Fromm is staying ready in case of emergency

‘“Day to day for me, I’m in the building. I’m doing the same things the other guys are doing. The real major difference is when we’re sitting down in the meetings, I’m a little bit further away than the guys already are,” Fromm said. “When the rest of the team goes out to practice, I’ll go in the weight room, because obviously there are a lot less people in the weight room when everybody is outside practicing. So I’ll get my workout done and then go get dressed in the locker room. I’ll go out to practice about halfway through and watch the team periods. I’ll stay out after practice and throw to a couple guys and basically get my practice there – that 30 minutes after practice is over with, make sure I get all the throws I need to get done.”’

‘“But when people ask me what the teams are that I really root for, hands-down, it’s Buffalo and San Francisco,” he said. “And I truly can say I love both equally. Now, when people ask me what team did I really enjoy just playing football for? It has to be the Buffalo Bills. It reminded me so much of Friday night football here in Georgia. And then they ask me, what was your favorite city that you stayed in and played football? I always say San Francisco. I trained there when I was coming out for the draft. I just loved the diversity. I’m a people person.”’

Bills’ Cole Beasley to eat vs. 49ers? (6 things to watch)

‘Whether it is Moseley or the 49ers’ fourth option at the nickel cornerback spot, Cole Beasley should find himself in a favorable matchup. Considering Beasley’s ability to beat the best of the best off the line, the Bills should make getting Beasley the ball a focal point on Monday night.’

Klein’s resurgence key, but not only factor in revival of Bills’ ‘D’

‘Klein’s performance over the Bills’ past three games has been remarkable. Now amid a three-game sack streak, during that span, Klein has recorded 30 tackles, four and a half sacks, five tackles for loss, seven quarterback hits, two pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. He has played over 90 percent of the snaps in each of Buffalo’s past three games, a big reason being the absence of starting linebacker Matt Milano who has been on injured reserve with a pec injury.’

Josh Allen takes subtle jab at NFC East when breaking down Buffalo’s chances to win AFC East division

‘”We’re sitting at 8-3, and eight wins doesn’t win the division — unless you’re in the NFC East,” Allen said with a smile. “In all seriousness, coach (Bills head coach Sean) McDermott preaches playoff caliber and our goal is to get into the playoffs. Once you get into the playoffs, anyone has a chance to win it. The easiest way to get into the playoffs is to win your division.”‘

DB’s vs. Deebo: Bills know challenge of facing 49ers receiver

‘“Man it’s tough because he can run routes and catch the ball,” defensive back Tre’Davious White said. “Once he gets the ball behind the line he turns into a running back. He’s a big guy, he can run fast too so he presents a challenge. Also, I think he’s number one or two in the league in YAC yards so once he gets the ball after contact he’s a guy that can break two or three tackles against teams going up the field so we have to gang tackle him he’s a big strong physical guy so if we can get to him before he gets going I think our chances are far better than when he gets going.”’

Bills seek improvement in ground game against top-10 run defenses

‘”The things that we’ve been doing as an offense happen to be working,” Bills running back Zack Moss said. “Now that we get into this stretch … it’s very, very important that we finish out the season on a strong note, for a lot of reasons.”‘

Bills Today | ESPN offers some fantasy football advice for every team

‘When the Bills need to move the chains, they turn to Beasley in the slot. As he continues toward a career year in nearly every category, Beasley should be a larger part of the Bills’ passing game this week than he was against the Chargers last week. Expect Diggs to see his usual workload, but Beasley will be relied upon to pick up chunk gains against a tough 49ers defense.’
