‘Short of prying Adams from the Raiders (and rival Jets), Cooper was the best wideout expected to be available ahead of the NFL’s Nov. 5 in-season trade deadline. And he’s got plenty in the tank if we look only to 2023, when he had a career-high 1,250 receiving yards despite a carousel at quarterback. He instantly brings credibility to an otherwise so-so group of Bills wideouts, giving Allen a trusty route runner for the back half of the season. And he’s proven adaptable before, starring for the Dallas Cowboys when the Raiders dealt him midseason back in 2018. As a bonus, he’ll cost the team less than $1 million for the remainder of 2024, thanks to Cleveland reworking his deal prior to the season.’

‘The Buffalo Bills hope Cooper can join wide receivers Brandin Cooks and Brandon Marshall as the third to have a 1,000-yard receiving season with four different teams after trading a 2025 third-round draft pick and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the 1-5 Cleveland Browns in a swap for Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round pick on Tuesday.’

‘The Jets largely dominated play in the second half, but two missed field goals played a big role in their third consecutive loss. New York’s fate wasn’t sealed, however, until Allen raced for the game-clinching first down after Taron Johnson made a jaw-dropping pick of Rodgers with just under two minutes left.’

‘Adam Schefter previously reported that Cook will be listed as questionable to play this week, but the plan right now is for him to suit up. Cook rushed for a season-high 82 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries in the Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans. In all, he’s rushed for 309 yards and a career-high four touchdowns in 2024, plus 123 receiving yards and another touchdown through the air.’

‘”The end of game situation — we needed to run the clock and move the chains,” McDermott said. “That’s on me. We didn’t do that there and that’s my fault.”‘

‘Buffalo did an admirable job coming back from a 17-point deficit in this one, but what Sean McDermott and Joe Brady decided to do in the final minute of this one was head-scratching. With 32 seconds left, Josh Allen went deep to Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel on consecutive plays. All the passes were incomplete and killed just 15 seconds off the clock — forcing the Bills to punt.’

‘Bills 24, Texans 20.’

‘Washburn says the Bills have the edge “because over the course of the first four weeks of the season they’ve shown that they can be dominant in games.” Despite these two teams having the same record, Buffalo’s wins hold more weight. While the Texans have had to “scratch and claw” to come ahead, the best version of the Bills is better than the best version of their upcoming opponent.’

‘Miller said the allegations are “100% false” and said that the case was closed in July. While no charges were filed in the case, the NFL had been investigating the matter.’

‘The Baltimore Ravens exploded on their first play from scrimmage Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills, with Derrick Henry sprinting 87 yards for a historic touchdown run — the longest in team history. It turns out the home run was merely a preview of what was to come in prime time. Powering forward with the legs of both Henry and reigning MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Ravens refused to surrender their lead for even a single moment, leaving Josh Allen and Co. grasping for answers in a decisive 35-10 victory.’

‘Projected score: Ravens (-2.5) 24-21 over Bills.’

‘The two players will also always be connected because they are, arguably, the two best running quarterbacks in the NFL. Jackson might already be the best overall rushing quarterback in NFL history, while Allen might be the best at his specific style of running. The two players, while both elite in the run game, go about their running in very different ways.’

‘The No. 33 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft responded exactly how you would want him to, as Coleman caught a 24-yard touchdown on his first possession — his first career NFL touchdown.’

‘The Buffalo Bills annihilated the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night, prevailing 47-10 in a game that was nowhere near as close as the final score. (And even calling it “nowhere near as close as the final score” is kind of an understatement.)’

‘Safety Damar Hamlin found himself on the receiving end of an overthrow by the Jaguars quarterback, and recorded his first career interception.’
