‘“It’s really cool. Obviously, gifts are extremely hard to buy for guys that have basically everything already,” Allen said. “I talked to them, and none of them had their own custom golf clubs, so it’s something that many of these guys maybe haven’t even done yet. Giving them the opportunity to go out and expand their horizons, try something new and just hang out on the golf course and get away from football for a little bit in the offseason, it’s something I love doing and hopefully one or two of them – or maybe even all of them, pick the game up and start to enjoy it as much as I do.”’

‘I’ll be interested to watch New England’s two young edge rushers, Chase Winovich and Josh Uche. Both are undersized to set the edge vs. the run. Uche played 12 snaps and Winovich just five the first game vs. Buffalo. Uche has averaged 20 of late. How good are they? How much of a future do either of them have as viable edge rushers against a Buffalo pass game that looks like it’ll be scary for years to come? This will be a decent tune-up for the Bills’ run defense, because Buffalo is staring at the possibility of facing some tough ground games in the playoffs (Baltimore, Cleveland or Tennessee). There’s plenty of interesting facets to this game. Bills, 27-16.’

‘Expect them to be in a surly mood. And with it we’re snapping the rubber band knowing the clincher: New England is 8-2 straight up and 9-1 against the spread at home when looking to avenge a same season division loss under Belichick.’

‘I brought Mike a print of the image, which he planned to frame, wrap and present to his 62-year-old father on Christmas Eve. Father and son are lifetime Bills fans, as you would expect. After Buffalo beat the Chargers last month, Don Jr. – seemingly out of the blue – unexpectedly shared the tale from 1968, detail by detail, with his son.’
