‘The Bills have benefitted from getting four pickoffs vs. Houston rookie Davis Mills and two off inexperienced Taylor Heinicke of Washington. Still, they’ve had an interception in each of the last six games.’

‘“Yeah, it’s an incredible achievement. I’m super humbled, I’m honored,” Bass said Thursday. “But for me, I look at it as more of team award, especially for Reid (Ferguson) and (punter) Matt (Haack), my holder and long snapper. ‘Cause without them, we wouldn’t have even had a chance to be that.”’

‘Wide receiver Cole Beasley did not practice for a second day with a rib injury suffered against Miami, but was with the receivers during drills.’

‘The Bills needed a lot to get their offense moving last week against the Dolphins, a team that seemingly had nothing to lose against an AFC East foe. The beleaguered Jaguars might have a similar approach, but that won’t be enough to stop a Buffalo offense that didn’t come out of dormancy until the second half, with the two teams tied at 3-3; the Bills scored 23 points in the final 19 minutes.’

‘Prediction: Buffalo over Jaguars by 11.’

‘I struggle to ascertain how releasing the Pegula study to the public would “impair the ability to obtain a contract.” If other companies were competing with the Pegulas for the right to build a new stadium it would make sense to withhold the study from their competitors and the public. Without competitors, there is not a valid reason for keeping the Pegula study secret.’

‘“There is not another stadium in the NFL that has the atmosphere that Rich Stadium does,” Maddox says. “That’s what I still call it, anyway. Maybe Green Bay comes close. But the atmosphere in Rich Stadium is something else. The support that the people give is ridiculous. I’m in Arizona, and I don’t see that at Cardinals games. They get 60,000 people there, and 20,000 are in the jerseys of the other team.”’
