‘“At the beginning of the year we were trying so many different things,” guard Connor McGovern said. “Halfway through when we got on that run, I think we found what really worked for us – the power scheme.

‘“Now I am a lifelong Bills fan having grown up in Western New York, and I want to see a Super Bowl win by this team as much as anyone,” Winton said in the post. “But it is unconscionable and reprehensible to blame and threaten this young man for the Bills losing the game.

‘Brady, 34, became the third offensive coordinator that Allen, 27, has worked with as a professional in his six-year career. He was initially hired by the Bills to be quarterbacks coach in 2022 when Dorsey was hired as offensive coordinator. Those moves were made due to Brian Daboll leaving the coordinator position to become head coach of the New York Giants. Allen spent his first four NFL seasons with Daboll calling plays.’
