Why Stefon Diggs loved his first season in Buffalo + his initial goals for the 2021 season
‘”In the beginning of it, I was excited to be where I was,” Diggs said. “I was excited to be around the guys like getting to know Josh, 17 is a hell of a guy. That coaching staff and the players that they have are truly special. So, I was really just focusing on that and that new family and getting to know that new environment. Just earning my keep, earning my stripes, earning respect from my teammates. And then things kind of just fell out in front of me. The ball just got rolling and it got bigger and bigger like the snowball effect and good things happened.”‘

Super Bowl LV quarter by quarter: Tom Brady adds to his GOAT achievements
‘The Chiefs self-destructed on the Bucs’ second TD drive. A interception by Tyrann Mathieu off a deflection was wiped out by a defensive holding penalty on Charvarius Ward against Mike Evans. Then, Mecole Hardman lined up in the neutral zone on a field-goal try, giving the Bucs a free first down.’

Jeff Miers: The Weeknd offers welcome diversion during Super Bowl LV halftime show
‘Ultimately, The Weeknd did what The Weeknd was hired to do – he played a solid and visually exciting set of his alt rock-R&B hybrids, one that would offend no one, and likely thrill those who number themselves among his followers.

Bills Today | Benefits of a tight bond between head coach and general manager
‘”Well, that relationship is an important one,” McDermott stated. “And every year you see that relationship fall apart on different teams and for different reasons. So, I think you got to have the right people in those jobs. They have to be aligned philosophically on how they want to do it, support each other and that’s what I’m fortunate to have in Brandon Beane.

But that’s again going back to the people quotient, and I think it just starts with people, but you got to hang together because there’s going to be some tough times as you try and build it. We’ve had some of those tough moments, but our main hope and desire is that we are getting better every year.”‘
