Buffalo Bills News and Discussion

Archives for December 2, 2022

Bills place Von Miller on injured reserve, linebacker to miss at least next 4 games

‘Bills general manager Brandon Beane said via a pool report that the move is to give Miller time to recover from a knee injury that he sustained last week against the Detroit Lions. The plan is for Miller to return later this season and by placing him on IR before the Patriots game, he can potentially return for a critical Week 17 AFC matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.’

Bills dominate Patriots on Thursday Night Football to earn first divisional win

‘A nine-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to Stefon Diggs regained the Bills’ lead at 10-7 just four seconds into the second quarter, providing Buffalo with an advantage it wouldn’t relinquish. Diggs caught the touchdown pass after running a precise route, which provided him ample space in the back left corner of the end zone before he reeled in an accurate throw from Allen.’

Five Takeaways: Bills’ defense shuts down Patriots as Allen, Diggs, Cook guide productive offensive effort

‘A.J. Epenesa and Shaq Lawson each put forth impactful performances, with Epenesa recording Buffalo’s lone sack late in the fourth quarter to help thwart a potential touchdown drive. Epenesa finished the game with two tackles for loss, while Lawson almost single-handedly forced a Patriots’ punt in the first half when he began a New England possession with a tackle for loss and followed it up with a pressure that forced Jones into a penalty for intentional grounding.’

Bills put DE Von Miller on injured reserve

‘Miller will miss at least four games, but Bills general manager Brandon Beane said the team is hoping that Miller can return for the final stretch of Buffalo’s season.’

Bills call up familiar face from practice squad before game vs. Patriots

‘Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis and Isaiah McKenzie are Josh Allen’s starting wideouts, with the speedy Khalil Shakir getting some offensive snaps as well. But while Brown likely won’t have a hefty snap count for Buffalo on Thursday night, he does have chemistry with his elite quarterback.’

Bills place Von Miller on injured reserve with knee injury

‘”He’s been doing treatment and trying to rehab it,” Beane said. “We don’t want to rush him back, and he’s a competitor. That’s why we love him. That’s why he’s so great. The competitor in him — if he could wheel it out there tonight, he would do it.”‘

Bills pass-rusher Von Miller put on IR with knee injury

‘Miller will miss at least four games after suffering lateral meniscus damage to his right knee, per Miller, during the team’s win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. The team’s hope, per general manager Brandon Beane in a pool report, is that he will be able to return this season. Putting him on injured reserve before Thursday night’s game allows it to count toward the minimum four games he must miss.’

Josh Allen works magic, connects with Gabe Davis for Bills TD

‘On third down from the New England 8-yard line, Allen stepped back in the pocket and quickly scrambled to his right with pressure coming. Allen kept moving as linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. pulled on the back of his jersey, with the quarterback shaking him off to make a throw from the sideline as Wilson fell to toward Allen’s feet. The pass into the end zone was caught for a TD by wide receiver Gabe Davis and stretched the Bills’ advantage to 17-7. It was Davis’ first catch of the game.’

Josh Allen leads Bills to first AFC East win of season over Patriots

‘What followed in the Bills’ 24-10 win over the Patriots was similar. Buffalo looked more in sync and closer to the team that put up dominating performances before the Week 7 bye, albeit against a struggling New England offense, and became the first team to beat the Belichick-era Patriots by double digits in three straight games.’
