‘”Right when it happened, you knew that I was concussed,” Morse said Thursday. “And one of the nice things was I understood the process, the program, understood that all the people I talked to, the experiences I have gone through in the past. You know, at first it was a little emotional. But you kind of get out of that. And then you get into the protocol, and you get into the everyday deal. You start feeling better, you understand that it’s just one of those things. It’s part of my story and my football story. Feeling healthy.”‘

‘”I feel like there’s more out there,” defensive tackle Ed Oliver said. “I ain’t trying to think too far ahead, but I think there’s more out there, for sure. Last couple years we came up short, but I definitely think there’s more out there. There’s more hats and there’s more shirts and there’s bigger things out there, but this was definitely the stepping stone. If you don’t get this, you can’t get that.”‘

‘Rookie James Cook ran in a career-long 27-yard touchdown to give the Bills a 21-10 lead midway through the third quarter. Cook zigged and zagged past defenders to find the end zone. The score was the second rushing touchdown of his career and his second straight game with a touchdown (receiving score vs. the Miami Dolphins last week).’

‘”It took everything we had to pull this one out tonight,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “It just makes it special. … You know, like I said, humbling. Really, that’s how I feel about it. Humbled to be a part of it in this great town that doesn’t get as much credit as it deserves, honestly. And the fans, I mean, this place is unique. So, just awesome. Awesome.”‘

‘Morse left the game in the third quarter and went into the blue medical tent on the sideline. He was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a head injury and was ultimately ruled out with a concussion.’

‘A defensive pass interference call put the Bills at the Dolphins’ 13 with 45 seconds left, and Tyler Bass converted a 25-yard field goal as Buffalo pulled out a 32-29 victory to clinch a playoff berth.’

‘But piles of snow were left in the stands for fans to clear themselves. Many made snowballs and threw them at other fans and also onto the field. Snow cascaded down from the upper deck to fans in the lower bowl, and snowball after snowball found its way into the end zone.’

‘Allen then placed the touchdown throw in the perfect spot for Morris on the fourth play of the drive, resulting in the first receiving TD of Morris’ career. Bills tight ends have now caught 14 touchdowns in the past two seasons. Only two were caught by someone other than Knox.’

‘”The last two years were difficult on everybody,” Beasley said Wednesday. “I don’t really want to go into all of the things we talked about, me and Brandon and Coach McDermott, but there needed to be some conversations there that we needed to have. I’m just happy that we all could that as men and talk about it and resolve issues.”‘

‘In his three seasons with the Bills (2019-21), Beasley was second on the team in receiving first downs (124). He finished last season with the same number of receptions as the year before (82) but 274 fewer receiving yards. He had only one receiving touchdown, his fewest in a season since 2012 (zero).’

‘The play completed a seven-play, 59-yard drive at the end of the first half, which was also by far the Bills’ longest drive in terms of yardage. Knox found the end zone by leaping over Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner and flipping past the goal line.’

‘Miller underwent exploratory surgery in Texas on Tuesday and an ACL injury was found in his right knee. The pass-rusher initially was placed on injured reserve last Thursday before the game against the New England Patriots, after the swelling in his knee went down and it was decided he would need a knee scope, Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Wednesday.’

‘A civil suit remains ongoing.’

‘Miller will miss at least four games after suffering lateral meniscus damage to his right knee, per Miller, during the team’s win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. The team’s hope, per general manager Brandon Beane in a pool report, is that he will be able to return this season. Putting him on injured reserve before Thursday night’s game allows it to count toward the minimum four games he must miss.’

‘On third down from the New England 8-yard line, Allen stepped back in the pocket and quickly scrambled to his right with pressure coming. Allen kept moving as linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. pulled on the back of his jersey, with the quarterback shaking him off to make a throw from the sideline as Wilson fell to toward Allen’s feet. The pass into the end zone was caught for a TD by wide receiver Gabe Davis and stretched the Bills’ advantage to 17-7. It was Davis’ first catch of the game.’
