‘”That moment was everything to me,” Hamlin said of running out of the tunnel. “I think it was more so about promising to myself than anything else — just showing myself that I have the courage, I got the strength, that I got the pride, everything … in me to be able to go through something so traumatic and to be able to come back from it. To be able to still do what I love at the highest level in the world is amazing.”‘

Sources: Bills fearing torn Achilles for Tre’Davious White
‘White suffered what is believed to be a torn right Achilles in the third quarter of the Bills’ commanding 48-20 win over the Miami Dolphins, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington.’
Bills vs. Dolphins score, takeaways: Stefon Diggs scores three touchdowns as Buffalo hands Miami first loss
‘The second half is where Buffalo really started to separate thanks to a key interception by Micah Hyde and back-to-back fourth-down stops that turned the ball back over to the offense. The back-breaking moment came midway through the third quarter when Hyde was able to pick off Tagovailoa on an overthrown ball. After the pick, it took just four plays for the Bills offense to find the end zone as Allen hit Stefon Diggs for what was his third receiving touchdown of the afternoon.’
Josh Allen outduels Tua Tagovailoa as reminder of who is QB king in AFC East
‘I’ll say it for him: It was the best version of Allen, the one that takes what the defense gives him. It’s not that he played safe, because he did take some risks. It’s just that he didn’t have a single what-were-you-thinking moment. The fewer of those, the better Buffalo plays. The Dolphins certainly tried to make Allen play patient, particularly early in the game, where all they gave him — from a coverage standpoint — was the check-down option. And while Tua Tagovailoa made a strong case for MVP consideration over the first three weeks of the season, Allen seems poised to steal away the spotlight after this win.’
Bills’ Tre’Davious White Carted Off With Ankle Injury, Throws Helmet in Anguish
‘Indicating that he knew the injury was serious, White threw his helmet. The veteran cornerback eventually left the field on a cart, and the Bills soon announced that he was being evaluated for an ankle injury.’

Bills’ Super Bowl window wide open after statement win against Dolphins
‘The notion that Allen is no longer in the elite tier of NFL quarterbacks? Ridiculous, after arguably the best performance of his career. Thoughts that head coach Sean McDermott taking over the defensive play-calling was the sign of a desperate head coach trying to save his job? Well, you can trash that one as well.’
Bills vs. Dolphins final score, results: Buffalo makes statement in blowout win over Miami
‘Diggs carved through the Dolphins backline with regularity, evading markers to find space for himself in the lush meadow that stood in front of him. And it was his showcase — seven catches, 160 yards and three touchdowns — that elicited the cacophony of noise that enveloped Highmark on Sunday.’
Damar Hamlin returns to Bills: Latest updates as safety plays first NFL game since cardiac arrest
‘When the Bills took the field vs. the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, it was a little more than a game for Buffalo. That’s because the Bills are welcoming back Damar Hamlin, who nearly died on the field earlier this year.’
Bills squash Dolphins in key divisional battle
‘In an offensive onslaught, the Bills emerged victorious over the Dolphins, 48-20, on the backs of quarterback Josh Allen and the overall defensive unit.’
McDermott happy with Bills playing complementary football
‘”A phenomenal job,” said McDermott following Sunday’s victory. “Like I told the team, the defense was reeling early, we couldn’t stop ’em early through the first two drives, but our offense was rolling. They held serve while we could get our way about us, and that was just as important as anything. Then you can go put up 48 points, that doesn’t happen real easily. That’s a good defense, [defensive coordinator Vic] Fangio is a great defensive coordinator. I’m real proud of how the offense played. They were top shelf today.”‘
Allen still sees room for improvement in a 48-point performance
‘”We’re doing a good job of running the football, and making sure the runs that we put in are stuff that our offensive linemen and running backs are familiar with and comfortable with,” said Allen following Sunday’s win. “Just being efficient when we call those runs, and then the play action passes off of them. That’s Dorsey, that’s [Aaron] Kromer, that’s [Joe] Brady, that’s everybody in that offensive staff room talking and communicating well, and putting something out there for us. Then it’s our guys going out there and executing.”‘
Tre’Davious White leaves Bills’ win over Dolphins with Achilles injury
‘White stayed down on the field for a considerable amount of time in pain, and even threw his helmet behind him. After trying to get up and walk, White went back down to the field as his teammates huddled around him.’
