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

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.

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.

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.

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.’
