‘Allen, in partnership with John R. Oishei children’s hospital, has raised money in memory of Patricia Allen, the Bills quarterback’s grandmother who died in November. Donations “will directly support the hospital’s pediatric critical care team, which provides life-saving care to pediatric patients,” according to a news release by the Bills in December.’

Bills Eliminate Dolphins With 56-26 Rout; Set To Host Colts
‘In a season-ending game in which the Dolphins had far more riding on the outcome, the Bills put an empathic stamp on their breakthrough year with a 56-26 rout on Sunday. In clinching the AFC’s second seed, Buffalo will host its first playoff game in 24 years by facing the the Frank Reich-coached Indianapolis Colts next Saturday at 1 :05 p.m. EST.’
Bills close with 56-26 win over Miami, set to face Colts
‘Buffalo (13-3) finished with a season-best 501 points scored, matched a franchise record for victories set in 1990 and ’91, and looked nothing like the inconsistent team that finished last season by squandering a 16-0 second-half lead in a 22-19 overtime loss at the Houston Texans in an AFC wild-card game.’
Isaiah McKenzie’s monster first half gives Bills big lead against Dolphins
‘Less than two minutes after reeling in a touchdown pass from Josh Allen, McKenzie fielded the punt at the Bills’ 16-yard line and weaved through the Dolphins’ coverage team for his third touchdown of the first half.’
Dolphins at Bills score: Buffalo secures the No. 2 seed in the AFC in blowout win over Miami
‘In one half of action, Allen completed 18 of his 25 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns while also throwing an interception. Two of those passing touchdowns fell into the arms of receiver Isaiah McKenzie, who had three total scores on the day and in the opening half. The other came courtesy of an 84-yard punt return that helped put Buffalo up by 18 points with just over five minutes to go prior to the half. Matt Barkley ended up relieving Allen in the second half, but Buffalo’s B Team continued to pour it on the Dolphins, outscoring them 28-20 over the final two quarters.’
The Bills are the team no one, including the Chiefs wants to see in the playoffs, plus Week 17 insider notes
‘The Bills crushed the Dolphins 56-26 in a game Miami needed for their playoff hopes. And maybe we didn’t see a 30-point win coming, but it’s in line with what the Bills have been doing to teams in recent weeks.’
Bills’ Stefon Diggs literally flossing on sideline gives us great Kevin Harlan broadcast call
‘At least Diggs should count as a great role model for youngsters who don’t like to floss. He entered Week 17 leading the NFL with 120 catches and 1,459 yards. His offseason acquisition via trade from Minnesota has provided Allen with a true No. 1 receiver in a breakout year for Allen and the Buffalo offense.’
Bills blow past Dolphins in regular season finale
‘The Isaiah McKenzie show wasn’t over with just the pair of receiving scores. The receiver added to his already impressive performance with an 84-yard punt return touchdown, the first by a Bills player since 2014, stretching the lead to 21-3 with 5:22 remaining until halftime. McKenzie finished the game with six catches for 65 yards to go along with his two scores.’
Josh Allen sets franchise record for passing yards in a season
‘While many believe this year’s MVP race is between Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes, Allen has certainly put himself into the conversation with the season he has had. He also has Bills fans beaming with optimism as the playoffs approach.’
Bills to face Colts in AFC Wild Card Round
‘The Colts (11-5) were able to earn the seventh seed in the AFC Playoffs on Sunday with a 28-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. They earned the final seed in the AFC after getting some help from the Bills earlier in the day, who beat the Dolphins, 56-26 to drop Miami to 10-6 and out of the playoffs.’
Opinion: Three Observations: This is how you want to look heading into the playoffs
‘Despite having the ability to rest some key players in Week 17 (the Bills didn’t have to play for the No. 2 seed, and they would’ve clinched it with a Pittsburgh Steelers loss on Sunday regardless of the result against Miami), Buffalo came out and played the first half like it was any other game this season. After somewhat of a slow start, the Bills came alive in the second quarter, put the game away early, and gave fans and team personnel a chance to breathe a little easier in the second half.’
Great ending to one of the best regular seasons in Bills history
‘This has been one of the most enjoyable Bills seasons I have ever experienced, and what a way to cap-off the best regular season by any Bills team in 29 years. Clinching the No. 2 seed by absolutely destroying the Miami Dolphins (I will never forget the 1970’s), and doing it with the air show known as Josh Allen and company.’
Opinion: Dolphins at Bills: Arrow Up/Arrow Down
‘What a game McKenzie had. Not only did he catch 6 passes for 65 yards, but two of them went for touchdowns. Then on top of that he returned a punt 84 yards for another score, finishing the day with 149 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns.’
Bills secure no. 2 seed in AFC, top Dolphins 56-26 in regular season finale
‘Just when it looked like the Bills would take a 15-point lead into the locker room [after a late Miami field goal], Allen and John Brown had other plans. Brown, playing in his first game since being placed on injured reserve on November 28th, caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from Allen to make it a 28-6 lead heading into the locker room.’
Bills sweep Dolphins, Jets, and Patriots for first time; finish 13-3 for first time since 1991
‘The Buffalo Bills did something on Sunday that they’ve never done before, sweep the Dolphins, the Jets, and the Patriots in a single season.’
