Texans candidate Leslie Frazier lauded for strategy, people skills

‘A former undrafted free agent from Alcorn State, Frazier is known for his people skills and his ability to confuse quarterbacks. Coaching a Buffalo defense headlined by cornerback Tre’Davious White, linebackers Tremaine Edmunds, Matt Milano and A.J. Klein, safety Jordan Poyer and former University of Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver, Frazier operates with an aggressive, relentless style.’

Buffalo Bills fans donate to Lamar Jackson-backed charity after victory over Baltimore Ravens

‘”It started around 11:30 last night, and our donation box just started flooding with donations from Bills fans for Lamar. It’s just been overwhelming — in the best possible way,” said Nikki Grizzle of “Blessings in a Backpack,” whose mission is to mobilize communities, individuals and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry.”‘

Bills’ Leslie Frazier sees stock rise dramatically as several NFL teams work to secure a new head coach

‘Frazier joins a growing list of potential candidates to take over after the firing of Bill O’Brien during the season and the team’s decision to seemingly pass on awarding the job to interim head coach Romeo Crennel, though nothing’s been decided yet on any front. An added feather (or two) in Frazier’s cap is the fact he’s won a Super Bowl ring as both a player and as a coach, having joined the Bills in 2017 following a brief stint with the very same Ravens organization he just sent home packing. As talented of a defensive mind as you’ll find, Frazier was part of the legendary Chicago Bears unit that terrorized opposing offenses in the early- to mid-1980s, having since spent time in both the collegiate and professional ranks honing his skills — including as former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.’

Buffalo Bills fans donate to Lamar Jackson’s favorite charity after Ravens’ quarterback’s in-game concussion

‘They took to Reddit to figure out what Jackson’s favorite charity is, per NBC 4 Washington, and then got to work sending donations its way. The charity is the Louisville Chapter of Blessings in a Backpack (based in Louisville, Kentucky, where he launched his Heisman-winning collegiate career), a non-profit specializing in ensuring children are fed through federal programs and especially during pandemic-ridden times that’s led to a mandated closing of many schools. A subreddit has now been set up to aid in the donation process, but you can also visit the website directly to do so and/or for more information on what the charity does and how successful they’ve been in their mission to keep kids away from hunger.’

Report: Bills Fans Donate More Than $150K to Lamar Jackson’s Favorite Charity

‘This isn’t the first time that Bills fans have rallied behind a singular cause following a football game. In 2017, Bills Mafia performed a similar gesture to Andy Dalton’s foundation, raising more than $415,000. Earlier this season, Bills fans also donated thousands of dollars to Oishei Children’s Hospital after it was announced that quarterback Josh Allen’s grandmother had died.’

Chiefs built to roll Bills again in AFC championship game — but still need Patrick Mahomes

‘The Chiefs also destroyed the Bills’ weak run defense in the first meeting, racking up 245 yards rushing. Rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who pounded out 161 of those yards, may not return for the rematch. But the Chiefs proved they can be effective running the ball with veteran reserves, including Darrel Williams in the role of Damien Williams this year. Darrel Williams (13 carries, 78 of the Chiefs’ game-high 123 rushing yards) was key to beating the Browns with no Mahomes to close.’

Opinion: Let the magical ride continue

‘In addition to not letting Baltimore run wild, the Bills defense stiffened when it had to. The Ravens were 0-for-3 in the red zone, 0-for-2 on goal-to-go situations, and 0-for-2 on fourth down. Five of the Ravens’ 10 drives advanced inside the Bills’ 30-yard line, and all they had to show for it was one field goal.’

Opinion: We’re all out of town

‘Living far away in pre-internet days, the Bills getting good became a way for me to stay in touch with Buffalo. Eventually, it would become the driving force in leading me home to enroll at Buffalo State to pursue talking on the radio as a career.’
