‘“I don’t know what it means exactly, if it means are they going to solve him as a player or shut him down, no I don’t think that’ll ever happen until he retires because he’s just that good,’’ Harbaugh said of Jackson, who has accounted for 32 touchdowns, 25 passing and seven rushing.’

‘Ravens 19, Bills 17.’

‘“Yeah,’’ said Allen. “Obviously we’re going against a great team and it’ll be a four-quarter grudge match, it’ll take 60 minutes to go get this thing. But it’s just another one on our schedule. We’re not trying to make one game any bigger than the rest. They’re playing lights out right now and we have to come in and game plan. We’ve had a couple extra days. We’re going to trust the process that Coach McDermott likes to preach, trust the game plan that we set forth, and just kind of go out there and play football the way we know how to.’’

“We’ve been able to start hitting our stride just a little bit with scheme and doing some different things and changing up from week to week and getting it right,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “We’re getting some experience working together, probably a big part of it, and it’s just week to week. We have to be consistent with everything we do, and we’re probably more consistent than we were early, I would say.”’

‘“Not a lot of thinking, I’ve just been going out there and playing the ball free,’’ Lawson said. “I have to keep it going. I have four more weeks, five, six, hopefully seven or eight. You feel me? Other guys have put me in position to make plays and I just have to make them.’’’

‘They’re No. 1 in the NFL in scoring at 33.8 points per game, No. 2 in total yards at 420.8 per game, and No. 1 in rushing yards at a whopping, nearly unprecedented level of 207.8 per game, which is nearly 60 yards ahead of the No. 2 team, the 49ers.’

‘McCloud was the Bills’ sixth-round draft pick in 2018 out of Clemson and saw action in 10 games last season, mostly on special teams. He was cut during training camp in August, was signed by the Carolina Panthers, and when they cut him, the Bills brought him back on Oct. 17 to their practice squad where he’s resided ever since.’

‘But here’s the good news: As long as they avoid a colossal collapse which would entail losing their last four games, the Bills are nearly a shoo-in to earn their second postseason berth in three seasons under Sean McDermott. And assuming they get there – they currently have a 95 percent chance according to the New York Times playoff machine – the Bills could be a team that wins a January game. Dare we dream, maybe two.’

‘Buffalo’s 26-15 win over Dallas averaged a 13.5 rating and 32.54 million viewers on CBS, according to Nielsen fast-nationals. The Bills’ victory was the most-watched program since the Super Bowl, topping the Academy Awards, held in February.’

‘“We’re not worried about that,” Beasley said after he put forth his best game since leaving the Cowboys to join the Bills this season, six catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. “They (the world) don’t need to know. We can lurk from the depths as much as we want. People can sleep on us all they want, and we prefer it that way.”’

‘“It feels great, man,” Beasley said after his perfect scenario played out as he caught six passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Bills’ 26-15 victory over the Cowboys. “I’m just glad I’m in a place that coaches believe in me, teammates believe in me, and they give me opportunities to do what I do. I was telling everybody before the game, ‘I’m just glad I’m on this side.’ It’s been a great experience. Everybody else played their butts off, man, and we got win No. 9. That’s most important. So just glad to take another step forward.”’

‘Daboll called an outstanding game and Allen executed his game plan almost flawlessly. Working on a short week, Daboll was able to find some creativity and the offense piled up 356 yards and was 8 of 16 on third- and fourth-down conversions combined.’

‘”It didn’t take my wife very long to realize we’ve been through a lot. We’re going to beat this and we’re going to beat it together,” Kelly said. “When I look back on my life I’m so thankful that I had the teammates that I had, my wife, my two daughters and my son Hunter who is looking down on me.”‘

‘Cowboys 24, Bills 17.’

‘Calling this a big stage for the Bills (8-3) is like calling Broadway community theater. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, even though the Cowboys (6-5) are starting to deflate like an overcooked bird.’
