Blind generosity: Bills Mafia raising money for visually impaired in honor of NFL referees
‘On Sunday, Novak’s crew missed a few calls, but none appeared to be more obvious than a penalty late that could have set up the Bills’ game-winning score in regulation. Facing a 3rd and 2 from the Buccaneers’ seven-yard line, Bills QB Josh Allen threw a ball to Stefon Diggs.

Fans in attendance, however, took some photos that showed Davis clearly pulling on the front of Diggs’ jersey.’

McDermott on Dane Jackson’s outing against Bucs: ‘He answered that challenge’
‘“He really competed,” McDermott said. “He really did. The run game, tackling extremely well in terms of the run of the edge there and he had some passes that he was one-on-one in some situations. I thought he was in really good position. Great position, in fact, and made some plays on the ball. Made another one down there in the fourth quarter. They tested him on the far sideline, I believe, and he answered that challenge. I’m real proud of him to this point.”’
