‘In his fourth year as GM of the Bills, the team increased their points per game by a league best 11.7 points, and tied a franchise-best 13 regular season wins in 2020.’

‘According to the Bills, Daboll led the offensive line to score an average of 31.3 points per game this season — “first in the AFC and second in the NFL.”’

‘“It was a blitz, a delayed blitz,” Bailey recalled. “They snapped the ball and at the very last second, Shane Conlan said, ‘You run the blitz.’ He ran out. He just left. I was trying to process getting my linemen set up, giving them the call at the last minute, because the blitz was supposed to come from Shane’s side.”’

And I was like ‘Oh my God, I just got Taron Johnson’s glove, this is awesome.’”’

‘She put together “Micah Hyde Week,” happening right now. The area schools took part in coloring contests, residents decorated their homes in Bills colors and Keels was even able to raise money for Hyde’s organization, Imagine for Youth.’

‘Over the past few weeks, teachers have been dressing up in their Bills best for different charities.’
