‘”I won the inaugural Catan game last night against Dawson [Knox], Dalton [Kincaid] and Spencer [Brown], ” Allen said. “So, make sure you let ’em know that. It was a … pretty sweet win.”‘

‘”I was as surprised as everybody else. Some good memes coming from that photo. It’s very cool,” Allen said. “Sitting here as now a 28-year-old man, but the 6-, 7-year-old kid that is me is going crazy right now because it’s such an honor and it’s just really cool to have the respect from whoever did that, and hopefully people like it. If not, they can take it down. It doesn’t bother me. I don’t like looking at myself anyways.’

‘The foundation said a large portion of the donations came from the Buffalo area, based on the addresses of the donors.’

‘”Unfortunately, [Bernard’s] gonna be out multiple weeks,” McDermott said. “We’re talking about whether or not it’s an IR-conducive type of situation or not. … We still got some internal conversations that we have to have yet to determine if it’s gonna end up in IR or not.”‘

‘The Bills used pre-snap motion to put wide receiver Curtis Samuel in the backfield behind Allen, while Cook moved from the quarterback’s left to his right. Cook then ran to the left side, caught the pass wide open and ran down the sideline to the end zone.’

‘Bernard joins starting linebacker Matt Milano (biceps) and nickel cornerback Taron Johnson (forearm) in missing time because of injuries. Milano tore his biceps during a training camp practice and will sit out significant time; Johnson was injured on the first drive of the team’s Week 1 win vs. the Arizona Cardinals but has not been put on injured reserve.’

‘As Allen dealt with an injury to his left hand suffered on a touchdown run — or leap, more specifically — in Week 1, Cook had a career night. His three touchdowns helped the Bills to a decisive victory over the Dolphins. In one game, Cook matched his rushing touchdown total from both last season and the season prior (two in each).’

‘”I’m a little more closed off than people may think because of an interview,” Coleman told ESPN. “You got to see some of that, but people don’t really, really know me how they think they know me.”‘

‘Allen appeared to suffer his injury on a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter during which he leaped over Cardinals safety Budda Baker to reach the end zone. His left hand was holding on to the ball, and he fell into his right elbow as he made contact with the turf.’

‘Allen faked the handoff to running back Ty Johnson before keeping the ball and running to the right and into the end zone. The score capped off a drive that included three false start penalties on the Bills, but a roughing the passer call on the Cardinals resulted in a big first down for Buffalo.’

‘Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s second rushing touchdown Sunday was a leaping effort into the end zone over Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker that put the team up by two scores in the fourth quarter, but the landing appeared to leave Allen with a left hand injury.’

‘”It’s one thing to get drafted, it’s another thing to get to a second contract,” Brown said on Friday. “There’s a lot of stepping-stones and learning, you have to go through that, especially in younger years, and then just doing the same thing day in, day out and hopefully it pays off. … Then [general manager Brandon] Beane and the front office showing belief in me that I was doing the right things, and I told Beane I went from proving everybody wrong and now I got to start proving everybody right. So, I look forward to that.”‘

‘”Last season was primarily just about healing and making myself do the hard stuff, thrusting myself into things that were uncomfortable, that made me fearful or gave me anxiety,” Hamlin said.’

‘”I would say definitely grateful,” Andreessen said of making the roster. “… Grateful just to have the trust of the coaches, but I would say it was kind of like a switch because there’s still a lot left to be done. A lot left to prove, not to only me, but my teammates now because I’m given that opportunity to be on this team to help this team win.”‘

‘”He’s stuck his head in the tight end room a couple times, ‘What do y’all see here?’ … and then also, he’s getting a lot of extra work into practice too,” Knox said. “Seems like he’s just dialed in as soon as he steps out there to the second he comes off after everyone else has left.”‘
