‘Diggs put up one of his best performances with the Bills to date with nine receptions for 145 yards, while also bringing in three of Josh Allen’s four passing touchdowns on the night. His three touchdowns matches a career-high set last season while with the Minnesota Vikings.’

‘Even if Stills and the Bills can come to a deal and he passes through all the proper protocols, it is uncertain if he will be ready for the team’s Week 17 matchup with the Miami Dolphins in Orchard Park. However, there could be a real chance that he will be readily available for the team come the start of the playoffs.’

‘Tailgating around the stadium for the game has been banned, and Erie County will provide its usual game day security and safety plan.’

‘Many fantasy owners who had all but resigned themselves to defeat instead enjoyed improbable comebacks, as the combination of the Bills’ overwhelming offense and the Patriots’ injury-plagued defense proved the perfect recipe for a huge night.’

‘Beasley suffered the injury late in Buffalo’s 38-9 blowout win of the New England Patriots on Monday night in Foxboro. He went down awkwardly on a pass intended for him in the fourth quarter, and was later seen walking to the locker room with a trainer.’

‘Obviously there’s a difference between depth and talent on paper and going out and doing it. There were still questions, like if Josh Allen could take another step after a really nice one from Year 1 to Year 2. Questions about Stefon Diggs fitting in with Allen and the offense, especially in a shortened offseason. Questions about where the Bills fit in the AFC East, considering there were still the New England Patriots to deal with, it was still Bill Belichick, they had just signed quarterback Cam Newton. Check. Check. And checkmate.’

‘Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense came out firing on all cylinders, putting up the most points ever by a Bills team against a Belichick-coached New England squad. Allen completed 27-of-36 passes for 320 yards and four touchdowns, while also setting a few new franchise records.’

‘Both Allen and Diggs are having career seasons in Buffalo, but the amount of records the two of them broke Monday night, while also seemingly avenging 20 years of Patriot-related misery for Bills fans, was the cherry on top of what was already an incredible game to watch.’

‘The Bills went hard early and kept their foot on the gas all night long. They went for it on 4th down, conventionally, twice in the first half, and converted them both for first downs. Then on another fourth down, while lined up in punt formation, they noticed their outside gunner Siran Neal was uncovered and up-back Jaquan Johnson threw a strike for a fake punt and first down. They also took several deep shots in the third quarter despite already being up 31-9. They just kept coming at New England.’

‘Brown will now have to go through COVID-19 protocols before he may be available for the Bills’ Week 17 matchup with the Miami Dolphins at Bills Stadium in Orchard Park.’

‘They know they can beat this team, have everything rolling for them, and know the Patriots are down and have nothing to play for. They should approach this game with a desire to show the entire country, on national television, that they aren’t just AFC East Champions this season, but that the division will go though them for the foreseeable future.’

‘While Nsekhe and Johnson are the only two players listed as “questionable” for the Bills, the Patriots listed twenty players as “questionable” for the game.’

‘The first injury report of the week was released for the Bills and Patriots on Thursday, and both of the Bills’ top-two offensive tackles are dealing with groin injuries. Starter Darryl Williams was limited, while he backup Ty Nsekhe did not practice.’

‘When you consider how many detractors Josh Allen had when he was taken No. 7 overall by the Bills in the 2018 NFL Draft, Daboll deserves tremendous credit for helping develop Allen into being one of the sport’s most complete quarterbacks. Most teams looking for head coaches tend to either have a young quarterback or a draft pick they plan to use on a quarterback, so Daboll projects to be one of the most appealing coaching candidates this offseason. The 45-year-old has worked under Sean McDermott since the 2018 season, and also has experience on the staffs of Bill Belichick and Nick Saban.’

‘”I think they’ve both done a phenomenal job. I’d hate to lose either of them, but I would highly recommend both of them that they’re ready to take the next step. I think they’ve show that they can lead and do the coordinator job at a high level, both of them. You’d hate to lose both of those guys, but when you win and you have sustained success like we’ve been able to have the last two seasons, that’s what happens.”‘
