Dane Jackson, Cam Lewis next in line for Bills with Tre White out for season
‘The injury also probably will mean active duty on the roster for second-year cornerback Cam Lewis. He has been inactive the past three games. He was on the practice squad the four games prior to that. He played 47 snaps in place of White in the game against Houston.’
5 things about Dane Jackson, the Bills’ next man up after Tre’Davious White’s injury
‘Jackson was needed in the Week 2 victory at Miami when Levi Wallace was injured. He had five tackles in playing 64% of the defensive snaps in a 35-0 victory.’
Upon Further Review: Bills can look ahead to Patriots, but what AFC games should fans monitor?
‘Hyde and his teammates can wear out the back button on their TVs keeping tabs on a couple of big games in the AFC. Thursday’s win elevated the Bills back into first place in the AFC East with the same 7-4 record as New England (Buffalo owns the tiebreaker with a better divisional record), but the Patriots can retake a half-game lead with a win against the visiting Tennessee Titans, who lead the conference with an 8-3 record, but are coming off a horrid home loss to the lowly Houston Texans.’
What we learned from snap counts in Bills’ Week 12 win vs. Saints, game ball and more
‘Give special teams coordinator Heath Farwell a nod here, too. Kicker Tyler Bass has a big leg and probably could have kicked off for touchbacks close to every time being in a dome, but the Bills saw something that made them think they could kick short of the goal line and cover it before the returner reached the 25-yard line – the spot the ball goes after a touchback.’
Position grades: Ed Oliver continues surge for Bills in win over Saints
‘Oliver had a season-high six pressures on the quarterback and broke his sackless streak by sharing a sack with Efe Obada. Oliver ranks 15th among NFL defensive tackles in pressures on the season – he has 26 – according to Pro Football Focus.’
Alan Pergament: NBC’s Brees is a very knowledgeable analyst who curbs his enthusiasm
‘But I’m sure many Mafia members probably forgave Brees because of the key thing he brought to the Thanksgiving party: He isn’t Cris Collinsworth.’
Buffalo Bills lose Tre’Davious White for the season with a torn ACL

Buffalo Bills news, notes: Ed Oliver has standout game, McDermott frustrated over non-call
‘“I’ve got a lot of family in Louisiana and a lot of my family is in Texas so I basically played for free,” Oliver said with a big smile. “My mom was in the (luxury) box so I played for free. But I know they appreciate it.”’
Bills CB Tre’Davious White out for season after torn ACL: How can Buffalo replace All Pro?
‘With White out for the season, the focus now shifts to what the Bills will do without their All Pro cornerback in the lineup. Second-year cornerback Dane Jackson replaced White on Sunday and had a strong performance. He was targeted three times and allowed just one reception for 17 yards, per Profootballfocus.com. He finished with three tackles on 36 snaps.’
Bills fans, media, players react to Tre’Davious White’s season ending ACL tear
‘The injury to Buffalo’s star cornerback occurred in the second quarter of last night’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints. White was in coverage across from Saints WR Marquez Callaway when his leg buckled. White immediately knew something was wrong and eventually fell to the turf. Although no official news was given on Thanksgiving night following Buffalo’s 31-6 win, White’s reaction coming off the field told fans all they needed to know at the time.’
John Murphy still going strong thanks to unbending connection with fans
‘After starting his career at WLVL radio in Lockport, Murphy got a job at WBEN. In 1984, Stan Barron was diagnosed with cancer and Murphy was thrust into the color analyst role for Bills games. Despite being a mainstay on Bills broadcasts — including succeeding Miller on play-by-play in 2003 — Murphy has never called a Super Bowl.’
Josh Allen’s girlfriend, Brittany Williams, enjoys Thanksgiving win with fellow Bills WAG
‘The two were dressed in custom Bills jackets with their respective partners’ names and numbers splashed across the back. They snapped selfies in their seats at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.’
White’s Season-Ending ACL Injury A Major Worry For Bills
‘The Bills are already thin at cornerback behind White. Many felt he was their most indispensable player after quarterback Josh Allen. Buffalo’s defense leads the NFL in yards per game and yards per play. But the pass defense, perhaps the best in the game, will suffer greatly from his absence.’
Buffalo Bills CB Tre’Davious White has torn ACL, out remainder of season
‘The injury happened in the second quarter of the team’s 31-6 win over the Saints. White was able to walk off the field on his own with a limp, but eventually was ruled out of the game. Dane Jackson replaced him and will be expected to do so going forward. White, a Shreveport native and former LSU player, was visibly emotional coming off the field.’
