‘”This news is not the best of news, but it’s definitely not the worst of news. It’s kind of like in the middle,” Miller said on his podcast, via Bleacher Report. “I didn’t tear my ACL, that was the huge part of it. But I do have some lateral meniscus damage, and it’s going to have to be addressed.’

‘Miller did not tear his ACL, but the injury was severe enough for him to be out indefinitely, according to ESPN. Miller, whose injury is on the same knee that he injured in 2013, will reportedly wait two weeks before determining what the best course of action is for his injury.’

‘According to CBS Sports NFL Insider Josina Anderson, the initial prognosis is a sprained knee for Miller, who is scheduled for MRIs on Friday. Miller was injured with just under three minutes remaining in the second quarter. He took an inside route to rush quarterback Jared Goff, and planted awkwardly with his left leg. Miller was able to walk off the field on his own, but spent a very long time in the blue medical tent before being carted off to the locker room before halftime. The team was quick to rule him out for the remainder of the contest.’

‘Tied 25-25 with 23 seconds left, Allen made sure the Bills didn’t head to overtime with an upset-starving Lions team. The Bills quarterback fired a perfect strike to Diggs to get Buffalo into Bass’ range, needing just one play to set them up for the win. Allen then had two runs for a total of 12 yards to get Buffalo to the Detroit 27-yard line — setting the stage for Bass to hit the 45-yard kick for the win.’

‘Ford Field hosted an annual fundraiser Hob Nobble Gobble, raising money for America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, on Friday night. The field was tiled over and is covered with structures and carnival rides, meaning it would not be easy to turn it back into a football field in such a short time frame.’

‘Buffalo improves to 7-3, allowing it to match the Miami Dolphins’ record through 10 games with the Fins on bye in Week 11. The Bills defense that allowed 33 points a week ago in an overtime loss against the Minnesota Vikings absolutely stifled the Browns on Sunday, shutting them down for most of the second half. One reason can be credited to the return of safety Jordan Poyer, back after missing Weeks 9 and 10 with an elbow injury. Buffalo is now a perfect 6-0 this season when the 2021 First-Team All-Pro plays, and 1-3 when he doesn’t.’

‘However, that didn’t come without some help from BillsMafia as various players noted on social media that fans did help shovel them out so they could get to the stadium in time to travel with the team to the airport.’

‘Several members of the Bills posted videos of their adventures in the snow to social media, some of which seemed more enjoyable than others. Some, like wide reciever Gabriel Davis, left tackle Dion Dawkins, and tight end Dawson Knox, enjoyed the snow with their dogs. Others like backup quarterback Matt Barkley set to work simply to get out of their front door — And some found that when they stepped outside, their cars had been completely submerged in the heavy snowfall.’

‘White has not played since tearing his ACL in Week 12 of the 2021 season. One of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, the Bills have declared him eligible to return from injured reserve and brought him back onto the active roster within the 21-day practice window, but he has yet to be active on game day.’

‘As you can see below, not only is the stadium unrecognizable, but it looks more ready to host a sledding contest than a football game.’

‘Let’s take a look at five other times where a game was moved.’

‘The reason the date of the game isn’t changing is because there was no way the league was going to be able to make it work with Buffalo’s schedule. After their Week 10 game against the Browns, the Bills have to turn around and play a Thanksgiving game against the Lions in Detroit. With the Bills playing just four days later, that means moving the Browns game back to Monday or Tuesday was out of the question.’

‘A projected one to two feet are forecasted to hit the area while the heaviest squalls could produce one to two inches of snow per hour, per the National Weather Service. Below-freezing air blowing across Lake Erie is expected to generate snow throughout the weekend.’

‘Minnesota got the ball first to start the extra period, and Kirk Cousins marched the offense down to the Buffalo two-yard line. On first-and-goal, Dalvin Cook rushed right for a loss of three yards. However, the Bills had 12 defenders on the field — which went unnoticed by the officials.’

‘And the root of those turnovers is the juxtaposition of the NFL’s boldest, most forceful quarterback managing a delicate balancing act as a passer.’
