‘”With Keon Coleman being banged up, that’s tough. I’d love to see him play in this one. At the same time, you got guys like Dalton Kincaid, who can also move the chains. I do feel like they have stocked up and they are better at this position than they have been in quite some time. It’s different when you have a Stefon Diggs, a true No. 1 who is a dominant force all on his own — then have a group of guys that can all do the same thing collectively. I do feel like they have that as long as the guys are healthy.”‘

‘Of the past six meetings between the AFC heavyweights, five have either been one-score contests, playoff matchups, or both. Of the postseason games in that span, one was an AFC championship, another went to overtime, and another came down to a missed field goal.’

‘Muddying things further is the fact that, on the surface, their production has basically been a wash: Allen has the superior numbers, with eight more touchdowns and a superior passer rating, whereas Mahomes is the shepherd of the NFL’s only perfect record. So what can these numbers — and other advanced statistics — tell us in addition to the eye test? What lies beneath the surface? Let’s proceed.’

‘”It felt good,” Cooper said. “Like I said, I don’t really feel pain or anything catching the ball. I’ve just got to get used to it — catching the ball with it.”‘

‘Join Matt Ryan, Bill Cowher, Nate Burleson, James Brown and J.J. Watt — who may or may not jump through a table at a Bills Mafia tailgate — and CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones in Lot 6 at Highmark Stadium. The show will of course be broadcasted on CBS.’

‘A primary reason Allen has been elite against the blitz is because he altered his play style. Instead of playing like a deep ball hunting scrambler, he has thrown the ball quicker and shorter than ever before. That has resulted in him starting 2024 on a seven-game streak without an interception, the longest streak without an interception by a Bills starting quarterback ever. Allen has only six turnovers in 10 games this season after having 14 in his first 10 games of 2023. It’s also worth noting Buffalo’s stability up front: they are only one of two teams to have the same offensive line starting five in every game of 2024, along with the San Francisco 49ers per CBS Sports Research, and they have the most offensive snaps played of any five-man offensive line combination. The lineup of left tackle Dion Dawkins, left guard David Edwards, center Connor McGovern, right guard O’Cyrus Torrence and right tackle Spencer Brown has 547 offensive snaps together.’

‘”It’s a Week 11 game,” Allen said, via the team’s website. “It’s no bigger and no less than the last 10 games that we’ve had. I know the media perception and the fan perception of what this game means. But for us, it’s just a Week 11 for us.”‘

‘The good news for the Bills is that every other time it happened, the home team ended up winning.’

‘McDermott said that the Bills will open the 21-day practice window for linebacker Matt Milano while adding that he will not face the Chiefs. Milano has yet to play this year after undergoing surgery to repair a torn biceps back in August. Like Milano, rookie wideout Keon Coleman will also not be available for Sunday’s game. Coleman, who was inactive for this past Sunday’s win over the Colts, will continue to miss time as he deals with a wrist injury.’

‘When NFL on CBS’ Andrew Catalon was telling the story of Flacco and Hamlin during Sunday’s broadcast between the Colts and Bills, Hamlin ended up recovering a fumble by Flacco. In an incredible sequence, Bills pass rusher Gregory Rousseau forced a fumble on Flacco and Hamlin was there to recover in the third quarter.’

‘One of the most exciting games over the next few weeks is between the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. The NFL flexed the Cincinnati Bengals-Los Angeles Chargers game to “Sunday Night Football” that same week, meaning CBS will have a standalone national game in Week 11.’

‘Miami should be able to run the ball against Buffalo, which is currently 27th in the NFL in average yards-per-carry allowed. The question is whether or not the Dolphins can parlay that success into points. Miami’s offensive line also needs to hold its own against a defense that has sacked opposing quarterbacks 28 times.’

‘Miller’s suspension was handed down following allegations that he assaulted his pregnant girlfriend in November 2023. Miller turned himself in for a charge of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman. He was booked before being released on $5,000 bond. Miller said the allegations were “100% false” and that the case was closed. While no charges were filed, the NFL, of course, investigated the matter.’

‘Halloween may not be until Thursday, but the Buffalo Bills were downright scary during Sunday’s 31-10 thumping of the Seattle Seahawks.’
