‘“I just wanted him to be Josh Allen. You know, the fun, the excitement that he kind of plays with,” new offensive coordinator Joe Brady said. “I feed off of it. At the end of the day, this is a game. We’re supposed to have fun. I have a ton of fun coaching. I know our guys have a lot of fun playing. I know it’s a business and it’s a job, but at the same time, we’re out there having fun, playing football. Not that he wasn’t having fun before, but I think you saw it a little bit last (week). I think the guys obviously fed off of it, as well.”’

PlayAction column: Eagles’ dominant defensive line poses challenge to Bills
‘“Their front is fantastic,” Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer said. “They have humongous guys inside and really good pass rushers on the edge. They sub guys in that can do the same.

How we see it: News writers predict Buffalo Bills vs. Philadelphia Eagles
‘At 9-1, the Eagles’ offense is relentless. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts can beat teams on the ground or in the air, and the Eagles offensive line provides him with what he needs. The Philly defense is also strong, making keeping up with the Eagles more difficult. I think Josh Allen will have a solid performance, keeping it close. The Bills will play a strong game, but the Eagles still outlast them. Eagles, 24-21.’
