‘Hall recalled how it transpired saying, “Mike says hi to a guy with his window down and the guy goes ‘You guys look cold, do you have far to walk?’ Mike told him his car broke down. The guy goes ‘Is there a way I can help you out? There’s Tim Hortons a couple of miles up the road. Get in.”‘

‘What makes Gore special is his ability to make an impact on a game without needing 30 carries to do so. He has averaged over 4.0 yards per carry for a season on 11 different occasions. He’s averaged at least 4.6 yards per carry five times, including a career high 5.4 yards per carry in 2006. In 2012, the year he helped lead the 49ers to the Super Bowl, Gore averaged 4.7 yards per carry while earning his second of three straight Pro Bowl selections. Gore has also been an underrated pass catcher, with 464 career receptions and 18 career touchdown catches.’

‘”For me growing up, he was someone that . . . runs the ball really well, [he’s] strong, aggressive,” Peterson said, via the Redskins’ official website. “Even now, I enjoy watching him and seeing that he’s being successful. It’s always a motivation to know I have another comrade two years older than me that’s still getting it done.”‘

‘According to bystanders, the boy called McCain “irrelevant” before the game, when the 26-year-old turned around and threatened to spit the boy’s face. McCain reportedly made good on his threat after the game, when he spit in the face of another fan while leaving the field. According to David Wilson of the Miami Herald, McCain issued a statement on Monday concerning the incident…’.

‘And it’s not just individual play of Edmunds and Milano. The defensive scheme set forth by head coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier dazzled and done an excellent job limiting big plays. Buffalo has surrendered 46 pass plays of 20-plus yards since the start of 2018, the fewest “explosive” plays allowed in that time frame in the NFL. Chicago is in second at 52.’

‘After enjoying a prolific collegiate career at East Carolina, Jones found himself buried on Buffalo’s depth chart during his third NFL season, with fellow receivers John Brown and Cole Beasley being one and two on the Bills in receptions and receiving yards, respectively.’

‘Jones reached out to Allen this week on the hit, but kept the conversation private to the media. He hasn’t heard from the NFL if he will receive any punishment for the hit.’

‘”The first thing that came out of my mouth on the sideline (was) ‘If one of us had did that to 12 (Tom Brady), we wouldn’t have been in the game anymore.'” Hyde said, via Matt Parrino of NYup.com. “There’s no way we would continue to play in that game.”‘

‘Josh Allen going down with a head injury in the fourth quarter didn’t help things for Buffalo. But, outside of his opening third quarter touchdown drive, the second year quarterback wasn’t particularly strong in this game. He was erratic with his throws and was constantly looking for chunk plays down the field instead of taking the easy throws over the middle, particularly in the first half. When he did try to force it down field, he was picked off.’

‘Following the contest, Senior VP of Officiating Al Riveron told pool reporter Vic Carucci, “Well, we looked at it and in this situation, we didn’t feel that that contact rose to the level of an ejection. The player actually turns. Obviously, there is helmet contact, but we have standards for an ejection, and this did not rise to that standard; therefore, we did not eject him. There was a foul called and obviously the penalty stood, but we did not feel this contact rose to that level.”‘

‘A native of Coral Gables, Florida, Gore helped the Miami Hurricanes capture the 2001 national championship before being the San Francisco 49ers’ third round pick in the 2005 NFL draft. In 2006, Gore rushed for a career high 1,695 yards while earning the first of his five career Pro Bowl selections. It was also the first of nine career 1,000-yard rushing seasons for Gore, who would help transform the 49ers from one of the league’s lower tier teams to one of the NFL’s best by the turn of the decade.’

‘The Patriots, along with winning Super Bowls, are notorious for pushing the boundaries when it comes to abiding with the league’s rules and regulations. New England was fined $500,000 while also losing their 2008 first round pick following their 2007 Spygate controversy. Nearly a decade later, quarterback Tom Brady served a four-game suspension for his role in the Deflategate saga that took place during the 2014 AFC Championship Game.’

‘The future husband and wife had their first date at New Era Field and their proposal was at New Era Field, so it is only appropriate that a Bills game is where they tie the knot. He proposed by saying, “You intercepted my heart. Let’s tackle the world together. Will you marry me?”‘

‘Bills officials met up with Howard and Orchard Park Police Chief E. Joseph Wehrfritz and decided on a few stadium policy changes. The changes include enforcing the open container laws on roads surrounding the stadium and a loaning a SkyWatch surveillance tower system to the stadium, courtesy of the Buffalo Police Department.’

‘Josh Allen passed for 210 yards in the first half and led three touchdown drives. He completed passes to eight different receivers in the two opening quarters. On defense, the Bills held the Giants to just 3 of 12 on third down. With a 21 unanswered points in the first half, Buffalo’s big lead kept Barkley from being a focal point of New York’s offense.’
