‘According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, Allen received 18 first place All-Pro votes this year, while Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson received 30 first place All-Pro votes, giving the reigning NFL MVP the nod as a AP First-Team All-Pro.’

‘”They’re built the right way. They’ve got a great defensive line, and they have a No. 1 corner,” said McDermott during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “Usually, when you have those two combined, you have a chance to have a great defense, and that’s what they do. They have a really good defense. They get after the quarterback, they’re able to stop the run, and then they’re able to take away because of their No. 1 corner, your best receiver. That’s a good combination.”‘

‘The Bills defense has to be aware of Nix’s ability to use his legs as a weapon. Nix has 430 yards rushing, and had the second-most scrambles for a first down. Only Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had more.’

‘Codrington, who finished the 2024 regular season ranked fourth in the NFL averaging 11.6 yards a punt return, was officially listed as limited.’

‘Codrington is fourth in the National Football League, averaging 11.8 yards per-return. His return ability has helped the Bills lead the league in average starting field position per-offensive drive (33.4-yard line).’

‘Gaine is no stranger to being atop the football operations hierarchy for an organization in the NFL. After spending one season with the Bills in 2017 as the vice president of player personnel, Gaine was hired by the Houston Texans as general manager.’

‘According to multiple reports on “Black Monday” in the NFL, a pair of teams have formally requested to interview Brady for their head coaching vacancies: The New York Jets and New Orleans Saints.’

‘McDermott says the team is still gathering more information on Codrington’s injury, and it’s too early, at this point, to tell if it will impact his availability for the team’s AFC Wild Card Round game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.’

‘The Bills are slated to play nine home games next season in the final year at Highmark Stadium before the team moves into their new facility across the street in 2026.’

‘In Sunday’s regular season finale against the New England Patriots, the Bills come just short of setting a new franchise record for wins in a regular season, falling 23-16 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.’

‘”Knock on wood, because sometimes things show up the next day,” said McDermott following Sunday’s regular season finale. “Now you want to be as healthy as you can be going into the playoffs, and as strong as you can be.”‘

‘It all starts next weekend in the AFC Wild Card Round with a matchup against the Denver Broncos at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park. The game is set for a 1 p.m. EST kickoff on Sunday, Jan. 12.’

‘No, I don’t believe the Bills did anything to intentionally lose this game. Now that it’s over, though, we know the Patriots are not going to pick first overall in this upcoming NFL Draft.’

‘All we had to worry about Sunday during the meaningless regular season finale against the New England Patriots was the Buffalo Bills staying healthy. It appears they came out of Foxboro with no further injury issues.’

‘We know the Bills will be playing quite a few backup players in this one, and quarterback Josh Allen will only play a handful of snaps, at most. For the guys who are playing, they’ll be getting a great shot to put their best on tape for coaches and the league to see. They’ll want, and have an opportunity, to play their best football individually while helping the team get a win as they all head to the playoffs together.’
