‘The league announced on Tuesday that Bills running back James Cook and center Connor McGovern have been named to the Pro Bowl as replacement players. Cook will go to Orlando in place of Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, while McGovern will replace Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey.’

‘”You keep going back and thinking about what you could have done differently, plays even throughout the game. It’s something that’s so little, but dropping the snap on that 2nd-and-6, turning it to a 3rd-and-9, where I probably catch the ball and I dart it to ‘Coop’ [Amari Cooper] and it’s 3rd-and-1 instead of 3rd-and-9. Things that, again, it’s not going to be in the stat sheet, but as a competitor, I think of those things of like, ‘Man, if I could have done this differently,'” said Allen on Monday while meeting with the media during his end-of-season press conference. “Anytime you lose, you’re going to have those thoughts in your head. It’s just understanding you’re not promised opportunities like that all the time. You’re not promised to get into the playoffs each and every year.”‘

‘All of them were on the team’s practice squad in 2024.’

‘The Bills could not rely on the one play they had used so successfully all season. Josh Allen was stopped on multiple quarterback sneaks, including a pivotal (and controversial) sneak while leading 22-21 early in the fourth quarter.’

‘”I got so much pride in our guys showing up each and every day, working as hard as they can. You know, guys truly adopted what we talked about this year going into it,” Allen said.’

‘”We’re a good organization. We’ve had a heck of a season. There’s momentum going into next year. We played a lot of young guys, some because they earned it, some because out of injuries. So this is good experience for quite a few of those guys. And every year is different, right? So you start from scratch every season, but we’re thankful for the success that we had this year.”‘

‘The Buffalo Bills fell short in the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 32-29. They fall short of the Super Bowl by one game and enter into the offseason to start all over again next summer.’

‘Lucy pulled the football away at the last second again as Charlie Brown went to kick it, and Charlie, again, fell flat on his back.’

‘In the three previous playoff games between these two teams, the Bills defensive line did not perform well enough. They especially didn’t get enough pressure on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.’

‘”The fundamentals are going to be important: The blocking, the tackling, the throwing, the catching, the kicking. All those areas are going to be important, which includes protecting the house, as far as taking care of the football,” said McDermott on Friday during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR.’

‘In the five regular season meetings against the Bills, Mahomes is 1-4 with 10 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. But in the postseason, Mahomes is a perfect 3-0 with eight touchdown passes and no picks.’

‘Linebacker Matt Milano (hamstring) and cornerback Christian Benford (concussion protocol) were both limited for a second day in-a-row. Cornerback Taron Johnson (neck/shoulder) was also limited after being a full participant on Wednesday.’

‘The team held a walk-through practice, so the official injury report is an estimation of what it would be if they held a normal, full practice.’

‘This was the first game all season in which Jackson had multiple turnovers. Andrews’ lost fumble was his first in five years. Baltimore had three turnovers which is the same number of giveaways they had in the previous seven games combined!’

‘The Bills didn’t force the Ravens to punt a single time in the game.’
