‘Buffalo has won six straight since back-to-back losses at Baltimore and Houston, and scored 30 or more points in each of its past five outings.’

‘Key matchup: Niners’ RB Christian McCaffrey vs. Bills run defense. Buffalo bottled up the Chiefs in limiting their ground game to 78 yards in a major sign of improvement a month after allowing 271 to Derrick Henry and the Ravens. McCaffrey and the 49ers’ usually sturdy run game has yet to get on track, with last season’s offensive player of the year limited to 149 yards rushing and 132 receiving, while yet to score a TD in three games this season.’

‘“You talk about a guy that’s been on a journey, right? Two years now of going through what he’s gone through,” coach Sean McDermott said. “He’s so resilient. He’s persistent. He’s got a goal. And he’s worked his butt off to get back to where he’s at.”’

‘“It means we have nine wins,” added Allen. “Last time I checked, nine wins probably doesn’t get you into the playoffs.”’

‘The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the league didn’t release the agenda for the committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday. The committee will also consider Ares Management’s bid to buy 10% of the Miami Dolphins, the person said.’

‘“When Josh takes off, I find myself just watching, like, ‘Wow, he’s different,’” Shakir said. “When he took off today, I just started yelling. I couldn’t stop yelling. I was blanking in the head.”’

‘Kincaid’s absence further depletes the Josh Allen-led passing attack, which will already be without rookie receiver Keon Coleman, who will miss his second straight game with an injury to his right wrist.’

‘Bills president Pete Guelli said he was not surprised by the amount, given how the numbers have been tracking up since construction began 16 months ago. And he said the projected total represents the commitment the Pegulas have to the community because they are sticking to their vision for the facility without cutting corners to reduce costs.’

‘Their relationship began in 1999, when Reid took over coaching the Eagles and McDermott joined the team as a scouting coordinator. The friendship endured Reid firing McDermott as Philadelphia’s defensive coordinator after the 2010 season, with McDermott calling it one of the most influential developmental points of his career.’

‘Key matchup – Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen. Fasten in for a premier showdown between two of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks, which has traditionally played to expectations. In seven meetings, Mahomes is 4-3 while combining for 2,024 yards passing, with 15 touchdowns, five interceptions, plus 219 yards rushing with a TD and lost fumble. Allen has combined for 1,801 yards passing with 16 touchdowns and three interceptions, along with 393 yards rushing and four TDs with a lost fumble.’

‘“Well, I know we haven’t beaten them in the playoffs,” Allen said. “So that’s the only thing that kind of matters.”’

‘Successful as the Bills have been in winning three straight regular-season meetings in what’s become an annual matchup between AFC contenders, what stands out is Buffalo coming up empty in the games that truly matter.’

‘The move opens a 21-day window for Milano to be activated off injured reserve. The AFC East-leading Bills (8-2) enter their bye week after hosting the Chiefs, meaning the earliest the eighth-year player can return is for Buffalo’s home game against San Francisco on Dec. 1.’

‘“We’ve got to have a faster start. We didn’t play our best today, but we’ll take the win,” Allen said. ”Four forced turnovers — we’ve got to hold onto the ball a little bit better. We’ll take them how we can get them, and we’ll turn the page tomorrow.”’

‘Spector was initially listed as questionable to play at the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, and will now miss at least four games.’
