McDermott: Playing in prime-time is what we strive for
‘”When you’re playing 1 p.m. games, I think there’s a routine part of it, which is nice. There’s nothing better than playing at home on a 1 o’clock afternoon and being able to get home [afterwards] to spend time with their families. … With that said, though, this is what you want. This is how we built the program to be. The better you get, the more prime time games you have. I think it’s an exciting time for our fanbase. We’ll be getting back Tuesday morning about 6 a.m. and try to get ready on a short week for the [Pittsburgh] Steelers a week from now, and then after that, no week is really the same.’

Bills will play 49ers in Arizona on Monday Night

Opinion: Disappointment following a win means progress
‘This my friends, is progress. No, it’s not progress towards convincing us that they can take down the Chiefs in the playoffs should they get that chance. But that sort of belief is elusive and varies from fan to fan so what it even is worth is at least debatable, at worst, useless.’

Opinion: Welcome back, old friends
‘I’ll bet many of you expected the Buffalo Bills to beat the Los Angeles Chargers. I’ll bet few of you thought the Bills’ running game and their defense would be the two main reasons why they recorded their eighth win in 11 games.’
