‘“I know what type of player that I am,” Klein said. “I know what to expect from myself, and I know what this defense expects from me. I hold myself to a high standard. So outside noise and whatever anybody else says about me really doesn’t faze me. I don’t look into stuff, I don’t read articles. I’m my own worst critic, so for me it’s just constant improvement and trying to look forward. I don’t have time to listen to outside noise. We’re on a mission here, and I’m just doing my best to accomplish that goal.”’

Bills to play 49ers on Monday at home of Cardinals, site of Hail Mary loss two weeks ago
‘The 49ers have essentially been chased out of their home facility in Santa Clara County in northern California because county officials have now banned “all recreational activities that involve physical contact or close proximity to persons outside one’s household.”’
Bills offense tried to blow it with 3 straight turnovers, but Buffalo tops Chargers 27-17
‘Thankfully for the Bills, they were playing a team that specializes in finding ways to lose, and when the gun sounded, the Bills were on the positive end of a 27-17 score that improved their record to 8-3 and kept them one game ahead of the pesky Miami Dolphins in the AFC East.’
Report card: Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills won’t apologize for ugly win over Chargers
‘The Bills are now 4-0 coming off their bye week under Sean McDermott. Maybe that’s just a coincidence, but I think it shows that he and his staff do a decent job of self-scouting with the time off and his team comes back ready to play. Now, this wasn’t the cleanest performance you’ll ever see, but as Allen alluded to, they got the win and that’s what matters most.’
Bills defense must play better and it needs to start against potent Chargers
‘My pick: Bills 31, Chargers 24.’
Injuries continue to hinder Bills as Sean McDermott says Cody Ford is out for season
‘Ford has battled knee and ankle injuries this season and he had played in only one of the last four games, 14 snaps against Seattle before getting hurt and having to come out. However, it seemed he had a chance to return to the lineup before this season-ending setback.’
Nov. 27 Bills game of the day: Stunning collapse ends in tie with Broncos in inaugural season
‘This was just the 11th game in franchise history, and 60 years later the Bills, thankfully, have never done what they did on this crazy, snowy day in Denver.’
Buffalo Bills preparing for hot LA Chargers rookie Justin Herbert
‘While it took Allen into his third season to find his bearings in the NFL and prove his doubters wrong, Herbert has done so in the first nine games of his career.’
Nov. 26 Bills game of the day: Terry Miller’s lone shining moment in rout of Giants
‘Running back Terry Miller ranks as one of the top first-round draft busts in Buffalo Bills history, which is saying something given this team’s history. But on this day in his rookie season of 1978, the No. 5 overall pick was part of a record-breaking performance.’
Five things to watch as Josh Allen and Bills make their push for AFC East title
‘You can’t tell me that playing Jon Feliciano at center, meaning both Brian Winters and Ike Boettger are at the guard spots, is the best way to go for the Bills.’
Nov. 25 Bills game of the day: O.J. sets single-game record in Thanksgiving loss to Lions
‘The rest of the team managed only 49 offensive yards against the NFC’s top-ranked defense with quarterback Gary Marangi playing in place of injured Joe Ferguson.’
On their bye week, the Bills got some help in their quest to win the AFC East
‘As the Bills sat out Week 11 resting on their bye, the still burning sting of their incredible loss to Arizona on the now infamous Hail Murray was mercifully eased just a bit by what happened over the weekend.’
The focus is on the Hail Murray, but it is far from the only reason the Bills lost
‘Not that the Bills aren’t used to this. If there’s one thing the Bills might lead the league in during their 61-year history, its inexplicable losses that wind up with forever nicknames. Wide Right, Music City Miracle, now the Hail Murray. I’m probably missing a couple others.’
Bills center Mitch Morse was healthy, but Sean McDermott decided not to play him
‘“He was healthy, coach’s decision right there,” McDermott said. “We know Mitch is a good player and just felt like for that week, meaning last week, we felt like we had at least some momentum with the group we had had in when Mitch went down and wanted to take a look at it one more week there.”’
Buffalo Bills have majored in agonizing losses but Hopkins Hail Mary is one of the worst
‘But I’m guessing Bills fans don’t want to hear that because let’s be honest, the Bills have majored in gut-wrenching, vomit-inducing, tear-your-hair-out defeats for quite a while now, and somehow they always manage to top themselves.’
