‘Bills pass-rusher Von Miller declined to comment to reporters at his locker after practice on Thursday amid allegations of assault on a pregnant woman for which he turned himself in to the Glenn Heights, Texas, Police Department in suburban Dallas a week ago.’

‘”We weren’t there. We’re not the investigators,” Beane said. “We don’t, obviously, you know, we had our conversations with Von and understood what he believes happened and so, from that standpoint we can’t get into it. It’s an open investigation, and so we’ll just, we’ll let the legal process play out, and he’ll participate like normal in practice.”‘

‘”You can’t be results-oriented in the sense of when you win, you handle it differently, and when you lose you handle it differently,” Brady said. “… We can’t change who we are,and our mindset and our approach because of the wins and losses. We have to understand that we just have to fine-tune some things and clean some things up.”‘

‘The Glenn Heights, Texas, Police Department in suburban Dallas confirmed that Miller turned himself in late in the afternoon to face a charge of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman, which is punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. He was booked into the DeSoto Tri-City Jail on a $5,000 bond and released a short time later.’

‘Losing close games has become a theme for the Bills this season. All of the team’s losses have come by six points or less, with four of those losses coming on the road (tied with the Green Bay Packers for the most one-score road losses). In four of the team’s losses, the defense surrendered a lead in the fourth quarter or overtime.’

‘”Those of you who know me know that I’m all about the fans, and I have a lot of respect for the game I play and my opponents,” Lawson wrote on Instagram on Monday. “Before the game started yesterday, there was a fan behind our bench, who was making life threatening remarks towards us and our families. We asked Philadelphia security to remove the fan, but he was allowed to stay for the entire game. Eventually, our emotions boiled over, and I made a mistake. For that, I apologize, but there are certain lines that should not be crossed.”‘

‘The Bills are 2-6 in one-score games in 2023, tied with the New England Patriots for the worst record in eight or more one-score games and tied for the second-worst record in one-score games overall.’

‘Allen’s 16-yard rushing touchdown came at the end of a nine-play, 70-yard drive to respond to a Philadelphia touchdown drive that narrowed the Bills’ lead to three points. Allen now has nine rushing touchdowns this season, tying a career-high (2019). He has rushed for 63 yards through the third quarter, his first 50-plus rushing performance this season, and his most rushing yards since he had 77 vs. the Dolphins last December.’

‘Johnson was injured in the second quarter of the team’s win last week vs. the New York Jets on the same play that safety Taylor Rapp was injured. Rapp was taken off the field in an ambulance with a neck injury, and despite being limited in practice Thursday, has been ruled out of Sunday’s game.’

‘The Bills traded up to draft Kincaid 25th overall for reasons that have become clear — particularly over the last five games, when the rookie combined to have 35 catches for 318 yards and two touchdowns. While the offense has dealt with issues that led to the firing of coordinator Ken Dorsey last week, Kincaid’s role has continued to rise as he’s developed into the Bills’ No. 2 pass-catcher.’

‘”We believe, I believe, I haven’t seen him today, but according to our [athletic] trainers, he’s in a good spot, and has a chance to play on Sunday,” McDermott said.’

‘”I think our team was energetic as we needed to be and, you know, a lot of that, for better or worse, can come from the quarterback, so just making that a point of emphasis throughout the week,” Allen said. “Like, let’s have fun playing this game. It’s football at the end of the day. We get to do, in my opinion, the most amazing job on the planet and that’s coming out here and playing football.”‘

‘Speaking to reporters after the game, Bills coach Sean McDermott said it was his understanding that Rapp was back at home, “which is a good thing.”‘

‘”… Putting me in a position or me having a conversation with my brother, but that’s outside, that’s in house family rules. But for me, I can’t combat or answer all the questions as to why, with people in the world saying X, Y, Z.”‘

‘When the Bills win turnover margin in games by at least one, they’re 3-0, averaging 41 points per game and are +90 in points differential. But when they lose the turnover battle, they are 2-5, averaging 19.9 points per game and minus-9 in differential.’
