‘Bland, who is only starting for the Cowboys because Stefon Diggs’ brother Trevon is out for the season with a knee injury, has enjoyed one of the most incredible runs any cornerback this season. He has already set an NFL record for most interception returns for a touchdown with five, and he did that in Dallas’ first 11 games through Thanksgiving Day.’

Bills playoff hopes alive, but many questions to answer vs Cowboys: Here are three
‘Suddenly, it doesn’t seem out of the question that Buffalo can get to within one game of the Dolphins before it goes to Miami for the season finale. If that happens, and the Bills win that last game, they would win the division based on a two-game sweep of Miami.’
Grueling stretch of schedule continues as Cowboys are up next for the Bills: What to know
‘Now, the 10-3 Cowboys are coming to Orchard Park, having just moved into first place in the NFC East with a resounding 33-13 blowout of the Eagles that was every bit as impressive as it looked.’
Bills rally around Sean McDermott after tumultuous week: 6 reasons they resurrected season
‘“Our guys – the staff, the players – steadfast in their focus,” McDermott said. “I couldn’t be more proud of a group, I really couldn’t at this point in the regular season. To a person, they didn’t flinch. They were focused, they supported one another and they supported me and I don’t take that for granted at all. I’m just super proud of those guys and just a super resilient group.”’
Bills report card: Buffalo wins thanks to Chiefs penalty gaffe to stay in wild AFC playoff race
‘The offensive line had a bad night in pass protection. Allen took three sacks and pulled off Houdini escapes to avoid probably five or six others. Chiefs superstar DT Chris Jones and the rest of the Chiefs’ front seven – and I say seven because Chiefs DC Steve Sapgnuolo dialed up blitzes all night – were a constant nuisance for Allen.’

Bills coach Sean McDermott addresses controversial 2019 meeting and 9/11 analogy
‘All cards on the table, I am not a subscriber to Dunne’s “Go Long” newsletter and therefore did not have access to the expose except for the sections that were made available to non-subscribers. Even in those small snippets, it clearly puts McDermott in a very poor light for a variety of reasons.’
Von Miller still ‘part of the team’ and available to play vs Chiefs, says Bills GM
‘Beane was careful in his remarks during a 19-minute interaction with reporters, but when he was asked whether he thought Roger Goodell would put Miller on the commissioner’s exempt list, meaning he would be ineligible to play until the league’s investigation into the matter is complete, Beane said, “We don’t expect anything based on our conversations. Anytime it’s an ongoing investigation, if something was uncovered, the commissioner does have that (option) at any point. If he feels there was something that, hey, this doesn’t look good or something like that, they could, but with our knowledge of what we have today, we don’t expect that.”’
Sean McDermott should not be fired by Buffalo Bills, even if he misses playoffs
‘Let’s also remember that changing the coach doesn’t always work, and we don’t have to look any further than the 21st century Bills for glaring proof. Did they improve after Wade Phillips was canned, or after Gregg Williams was fired, or after Mike Mularkey quit, or after Dick Jauron was fired, or after Chan Gailey was fired, or after Doug Marrone quit?’
3 questions for Bills vs Chiefs: Will Khalil Shakir step up, should Von Miller play?
‘There are too many flaws and what’s problematic is they aren’t concentrated in one area. It would be one thing if it was just the offense, just the defense, or just the special teams, but at various times during this disappointing 6-6 start, every unit has struggled.’

Bills report card: Buffalo wastes heroic Josh Allen effort with crushing loss to Eagles
‘Defensively, it was the same story that has hurt the Bills all year. The defense played well for stretches, but in the big moments it wilted as McDermott’s unit allowed 23 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. The Bills just can’t close games, and that’s a huge reason why they’re a middling .500 team.’
