‘Coleman appeared to be hurt Sunday when he was blindsided by Dolphins safety Jordan Poyer while attempting to make a catch on Buffalo’s eventual game-winning final drive in a 30-27 victory over Miami. Poyer was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play, which helped set up Tyler Bass for a franchise-record 61-yard field goal.’

‘“It doesn’t have to be pretty, but good teams find ways to win,” Allen said. “We have a lot of guys in the locker room who don’t care about the end result, don’t care about the style points of it. They just want to make sure that we’re finding ways to get it done.”’

‘Key matchup – Bills defensive front vs. Colts offensive line. Buffalo DT Ed Oliver is disruptive against most offensive linemen, but this week could prove especially problematic for the Colts after they placed Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve. Indy will be starting a rookie center, Tanor Bortolini, and an undrafted rookie guard, Dalton Tucker, though getting back LT Bernhard Raimann (concussion protocol) would help Indy. If the Bills spend significant time in Indy’s backfield, the offense could sputter again.’

‘“Seeing the smiles, and being actually wanted, it’s a hell of a drug, you know what I mean? You can do a lot for people when it’s in the right environment,” said Phillips, who said he’s fully healed. “I’m an acquired taste, and (the Bills) like my taste.”’

‘The offseason free-agent addition requested to be traded a few weeks ago for his lack of playing time. Edwards appeared in just three games for Buffalo this season, while being inactive the past four.’

‘The answers should become clearer over a six-week stretch — including a bye week — before the Bills close with two meetings against New England and another against the Jets. With one win against an opponent entering Week 10 with a winning record (Arizona), and losses at Baltimore (6-3) and Houston (6-3), Buffalo enters the meat of its schedule.’

‘“It means everything. Very emotional,” the 27-year-old Bass said of a field goal that was the longest of his career and broke the franchise record by 2 yards. Steve Christie had the previous mark, a 59-yarder in 1993.’

‘“It’s cool to be sure,” Rousseau said, when informed the Bills (6-2) are the league’s eighth team since realignment in 2002 to hold a four-or-more-win edge over their division through eight weeks. “But I’d say the biggest thing that comes with being up four wins is being able to battle complacency. You never know. We haven’t clinched anything.”’

‘Key matchup – Dolphins WR Tyreek vs. Bills secondary. With 30 catches for 366 yards, Hill’s numbers are already down after topping 1,700 yards receiving in each of his first two seasons in Miami. And his production might not get a boost against a Bills defense that has contained him the past two-plus seasons in Miami. Hill has been limited to 31 catches for 335 yards and two scores in six meetings, including playoffs, against Buffalo.’

‘The lack of charges didn’t prevent the NFL from disciplining Miller based on its own investigation. A person with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press the suspension was directly connected to the complaint made against the player. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not revealed why the player was disciplined.’

‘“Winning the line of scrimmage, that’s where it starts every week,” McDermott said in opening his postgame news conference following a 31-10 win at Seattle on Sunday.’

‘James Cook rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns for the AFC East-leading Bills (6-2), who were in control throughout and won their third straight. Meanwhile, the Seahawks descended into chaos, with two defensive linemen throwing punches at each other on their own sideline.’

‘Bernard is sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in a 34-10 win over Tennessee last weekend, and comes after Buffalo’s defensive signal-caller missed two games with a pectoral injury sustained in Week 2. Bernard was in on eight tackles and recovered a fumble before he was hurt.’

‘All five of Buffalo’s wins have come against teams that have losing records entering this weekend.’

‘Key matchup: Amari Cooper vs. Seattle secondary. Riq Woolen looks likely to play after sitting out the past two games with an injury, but Tre Brown did not practice Wednesday. If Brown is out, Josh Jobe and Nehemiah Pritchett would step in at cornerback. Jobe had six tackles against the Falcons.’
