‘With under a minute remaining in Saturday’s first of three playoff games around the NFL, Colts quarterback Philip Rivers attempted to continue a game-winning or game-tying drive, finding wide receiver Zach Pascal deep for a 17-yard completion. Stumbling after making the grab, Pascal appeared to regain his footing and subsequently lose the football as he got back upright. In other words, Pascal quite clearly looked to have fumbled the football.’

‘Diggs wrapped up his first season with the Bills by leading the NFL with 127 receptions for a league-high 1,535 yards. He set the franchise record in 2020 for both receptions and receiving yards, while also becoming the first player in team history to lead the NFL in both categories in the same year.’

‘The Bills run defense has not been as stout as they’d like through much of this year, averaging 119.6 yards per-game allowed on the ground, which ranks 17th in the league, and ranking 26th with allowing 4.62 yards per-carry.’

‘It turns out Diggs is as fine as he claimed, as No. 14 was back on the practice field on Thursday at Bills Stadium, seeming to be in good spirits and ready to play in Saturday’s playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.’

‘Allen was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week four different times in 2020, and was also named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September.’

‘Neither Cole Beasley (knee) nor Stefon Diggs (oblique) practiced on Wednesday, and Isaiah McKenzie was limited. Beasley missed last week’s regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins with his knee injury.’

‘”Take it one play at a time and put yourself in a position to make good decisions and to play your best football. Again, what it really comes back to is our individual quality of play, and then collectively as a team, did we do the things necessary to win the game; taking care of the football being one of them. This is a very good football team coming from Indianapolis here.”‘

‘Daboll will certainly be an attractive candidate for most teams, especially those with young quarterbacks with some high upside going forward.’

‘Buffalo announced that wide receivers Kenny Stills and Tanner Gentry had been signed to the practice squad, while fellow receivers Gary Jennings and J.J. Nelson were released from the practice squad.’

‘The Bills are really, really good. Perfect? No. Only one team’s ever been perfect in the history of the league. One other one was until they got to the Super Bowl.’

‘The Isaiah McKenzie show wasn’t over with just the pair of receiving scores. The receiver added to his already impressive performance with an 84-yard punt return touchdown, the first by a Bills player since 2014, stretching the lead to 21-3 with 5:22 remaining until halftime. McKenzie finished the game with six catches for 65 yards to go along with his two scores.’

‘While many believe this year’s MVP race is between Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes, Allen has certainly put himself into the conversation with the season he has had. He also has Bills fans beaming with optimism as the playoffs approach.’

‘The Colts (11-5) were able to earn the seventh seed in the AFC Playoffs on Sunday with a 28-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. They earned the final seed in the AFC after getting some help from the Bills earlier in the day, who beat the Dolphins, 56-26 to drop Miami to 10-6 and out of the playoffs.’

‘Despite having the ability to rest some key players in Week 17 (the Bills didn’t have to play for the No. 2 seed, and they would’ve clinched it with a Pittsburgh Steelers loss on Sunday regardless of the result against Miami), Buffalo came out and played the first half like it was any other game this season. After somewhat of a slow start, the Bills came alive in the second quarter, put the game away early, and gave fans and team personnel a chance to breathe a little easier in the second half.’

‘This has been one of the most enjoyable Bills seasons I have ever experienced, and what a way to cap-off the best regular season by any Bills team in 29 years. Clinching the No. 2 seed by absolutely destroying the Miami Dolphins (I will never forget the 1970’s), and doing it with the air show known as Josh Allen and company.’
