‘If the Bills’ season-opening win was a statement, the home-opener performance against the Titans put an exclamation point on an outstanding start. The Josh Allen-Stefon Diggs connection is a large part of it as the quarterback and wide receiver are off to an historic start.’

‘”Teams are drafting these young quarterbacks and they want to see them play early,” Frazier told ESPN. “They have the impression that you have to have an offensive coach, former coordinator usually, to kind of guide that young quarterback.”‘

‘Davis practiced the rest of the week and was warming up normally with the team at the start of the session Saturday. The Bills’ No. 2 wide receiver caught four passes for 88 yards and a touchdown in the 31-10 win against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. The third-year receiver is taking on a bigger role this year, and while the offense has plenty of playmakers, his absence vs. the Titans on Monday Night Football (ESPN, 7:15 p.m. ET) would be significant.’

‘The decision was made because of expected heavy traffic around the stadium with parking lots expected to open around 4 p.m. ET. Dismissing school early will help ensure students get home safely and assist police officers with traffic. Bills fans often arrive at unofficial parking lots hours prior to kickoff to tailgate. The game is part of ESPN’s doubleheader that also includes the Minnesota Vikings facing the Philadelphia Eagles at 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+).’

‘The new incentives cover a variety of categories tied to playing time, on-field production (such as interceptions) and team categories (win or statistical improvements), which are well within reach based on Poyer’s role and the expectations for the team this year.’

‘Buffalo is 20-1 in the last 21 games where Allen has a passing and a rushing touchdown.’

‘”We knew how big of a deal it was for us,” wide receiver Gabe Davis said. “We knew the stage that we were on. We knew that everybody would be watching and just know to play our game.”‘

‘The Buffalo Bills extended their lead on the Los Angeles Rams with a highlight-reel worthy catch by Stefon Diggs on a bomb from quarterback Josh Allen. The score extended Buffalo’s lead to 31-10.’

‘The deal is for $53.6 million and includes $31 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It makes him one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league.’

‘”Just getting back up here, getting in the routine, seeing all my teammates, seeing my coaches, definitely from a distraction standpoint it’s great, too,” Knox said Monday in his first comments since Luke died. “But it’s also very therapeutic just doing what I love with the guys that I love. I know that my brother would want it that way, too. He wants me to give everything I got. I know he is gonna be watching somehow, someway, so yeah, it’s definitely been great being back up here, getting back with all the guys.”‘

‘”I’m good. Feel great,” Poyer said after practice. “I feel ready to go, ready to play. Exciting time of year, missed quite a bit of training camp, but I felt good to be out there, out of the red jersey today, hitting again. It felt good.”‘

‘In 2021, Martin averaged the third-highest net yards per punt (42.8) and placed 41.8% of his punts inside the 20-yard line (10th in the league) and 28 total inside the 20 (tied for fifth most).’

‘A lack of a clear return date remains, although it would not be a surprise for White to to miss more than four games as the team would like to see him get considerable practice time in first. White’s surgery was also done by an outside doctor, per general manager Brandon Beane, not one of the team’s.’

‘”This is bigger than football,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Saturday night. “Let’s just step back and [let Araiza] go handle this. That’s what we thought was most important.”‘

‘What will the Bills do about White? The cornerback is still rehabbing from his ACL injury and has not been seen working to the side during practice for weeks. General manager Brandon Beane said last week that, “we’re trying to run out the clock here” on figuring out the best move with White, who could end up on the PUP list to start the season and miss at least the first four games. Because Beane said White will need practice time before he plays, White isn’t on the roster to start the season in this projection. His availability will impact the other players on the bubble, notably Lewis, who is a close call.’
