Cuomo: Bills Stadium attendance in review, fans: hopeful
‘”In the beginning of all this, the Bills e-mailed and said, ‘What do you want to do?’ If you keep your money in, there’s a chance. I’m not sure how they’re going to do it either, but I always said I’ll go. I’ll wear my mask, do everything,” said Boglione.’

‘”Listen, you guys know I love Patrick Mahomes and I think he is probably the best quarterback in the game right now. [Right now,] Josh Allen is every bit as good as Patrick Mahomes. It is so impressive; he makes it look easy. When I watch Josh Allen play football, play quarterback, he looks to me like Patrick Mahomes. The style of play is very very similar and defending him has got to be very very difficult for defenses.”‘
Eric Wood | 5 observations on the Bills’ AFC East clinching victory in Denver
‘It’s becoming the norm at this point, but Josh Allen threw for 359 yards and completed 70 percent of his passes. He accounted for four total touchdowns and 392 total yards with no turnovers. It’s remarkable to see what he’s doing stat-wise, week-in and week-out. Cole Beasley said it, he’s dropping dimes right now. There are throws that he’s making on the move, while under pressure, that are just absolutely phenomenal plays. When you look around the league right now, he’s right towards the top of the MVP race, and there are not many people that would have said that coming into the season. But Brian Daboll opened up this offense and put a lot of trust in Josh at the start of the year and it’s paying off now.’

He put it on a line. He put it right in his chest. I don’t think anybody on our team, even a lineman, could have dropped that.”’

Bills’ Jerry Hughes relies on ‘running back instincts’ to score defensive touchdown
‘“I told the guys, there’s something about when my hands touch the ball, it’s like running back instincts from when I played back in high school and pee wee just kind of kick in,” Hughes said. “It was a great play by Tre White to come on that blitz and do what we talked about … We always talk about getting the ball away from the quarterback with that tomahawk chop and Tre’s was perfect, man. It was textbook. I figured if he made all that work, the least I could do was go ahead and put an exclamation point on it and get us six points. It’s something that Coach (Leslie) Frazier’s been talking about. Taron Johnson, he started it off last week, so I figured I might as well join the defensive touchdown party.”’
