Bills’ Terrel Bernard carted off field in Wild Card matchup vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

‘Bernard injured his ankle while attempting to make a tackle on Diontae Johnson. At the conclusion of the play, Bernard was seen clutching his ankle. After being carted off, the Bills announced that Bernard was getting an x-ray done on his ankle.’

Bills sustain significant injuries en route to wild-card win over Steelers

‘Buffalo’s defense was plagued by injury throughout the contest, most notably that sustained by linebacker Terrel Bernard, who was carted off the field midway through the third quarter before being declared out with an ankle injury. Still, the Bills held down the Steelers’ offense while punching their ticket to a fourth consecutive divisional round matchup, where they will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at Highmark Stadium.’

7 Takeaways: Bills crush Steelers, sustain significant injuries in wild-card victory; Buffalo eyeing matchup with Chiefs

‘Mounting injuries are certainly a concern for this unit, but as it has proven time and again this season, the next-man-up mentality established within the Bills’ locker room has worked wonders over the past couple of seasons, with those initially assigned with depth roles filling in admirably when their number is called. The most recent case was the performances of Klein and Elam on Monday night.’

Bills erase doubts they can play physical by pushing Steelers around with game on the line

‘That idea, though, was built more on myth than any facts to support such a claim. Some of it is an assumption that the Bills are a high-scoring offense centering on the quarterback, so they can’t run the ball, while the Steelers averaged 155.7 yards rushing — on just 4.1 yards per carry — in their three wins to end the regular season and some of it is simply the Steelers logo because of course, they must be a good running team.’

Sabato: Best chance for Bills to survive injury-riddled defense is to put the game in Josh Allen’s hands

‘If the Bills want to win Round 3 with the Chiefs, putting the ball in Allen’s hands seems to be the most logical solution.’

‘“I don’t know about being a hero,” said Dedie, who drove 90 minutes from his home in Rochester, N.Y., to the stadium at around midnight on Monday to help shovel out the stadium of his favourite football team. “But I will say, I was frozen. I was completely and utterly frozen.”’

Josh Allen’s brilliance is fueling resilient Bills run that represents its fan base

‘There aren’t many more resilient communities than Western New York, where the Bills reside and, more often than not, lift spirits on Sundays.’

Snow doesn’t stop Bills Mafia from jumping through flaming table before playoff game

‘Fans jumping through flaming tables during tailgates is nothing new in Orchard Park, and the weather didn’t deter a group of Bills fans from jumping through a table that was lit on fire Monday afternoon before the Bills’ playoff game against the Steelers.’

How the Bills navigated winter weather to make Monday’s playoff game against Steelers possible

‘The Bills offered fans $20 per hour to shovel snow at the open-air Highmark Stadium overnight Sunday into Monday morning, with those who signed on to do so exempt from the travel ban. Photos and footage taken at the stadium showed the field was cleared by Monday morning, while piles of snow still filled the stands.’

Bills ask for help shoveling snow, and their fans are digging it

‘“It’s overwhelming,” a Canadian caller, who said he helped shovel out the stadium for a Bills-Cowboys game in 2015, told WGR Monday morning. “It’s a lot to be able to get that taken care of.”’

Bills vs. Steelers highlights, winners and losers from Buffalo’s wild-card victory

‘There were plenty of big moments for the star signal-caller, who ripped off the second-longest scoring run by a quarterback in NFL playoff history with his 52-yard scamper. But this didn’t feel like the all-Allen effort that the Bills have occasionally counted on to carry them, with youngsters like Dalton Kincaid and James Cook stepping up to lend a hand. And wide receiver Khalil Shakir came up with a distinctly Allen-like second-effort on a fourth-quarter touchdown to help ice the game.’

‘“People keep saying that’s what we wanted. We had no call in that,” Allen said about the postponement. “We would have played yesterday, would have played Saturday would have played Friday, it wouldn’t have mattered. We would have come out here and played when we were told to play.”’
