‘While official stats weren’t kept, several media members had Allen down as going 34-for-45 for over 300 yards, including the two touchdowns and one interception.’

‘However, Hauschka’s efficiency deteriorated over time. After an impressive 87.9% field goal percentage and zero missed extra points in 2017, Hauschka regressed to 78.6% on field goals and three missed extra points in the last two seasons.’

‘During one series, Allen targeted Diggs three straight plays and all were completed. On another series shortly after, Allen targeted Diggs four straight plays, and, again, all of them were completed.’

‘The Bills will play the New York Jets on Sunday, Sept. 13 for their season opener and are back home for a Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Sept. 27.’

‘Rookie wide receiver Gabe Davis continued to impress, regardless of situation. In individual position work, he climbed the ladder to make an excellent catch over the middle.’

‘Practice was originally scheduled to begin at 10 AM, but was pushed back one hour. Right around that same time, the league released a statement indicating some irregularities in COVID-19 testing results coming from one lab in New Jersey.’

‘The battle for wide receiver spots has been as competitive as many thought and hoped it would be. Whether it’s Duke Williams, Isaiah McKenzie, or rookies Isaiah Hodgins or Gabe Davis, each guy has made plays at different times, and are generally making the most of their opportunities.’

‘The defense definitely got the better of the offense for most of the morning. They really made it tough for them to move the ball, at times, and even came up with a few turnovers. That said, the offense did have a couple highlight plays, including Duke Williams making another great high-point catch, just as he did earlier in the week, Josh Allen connecting deep with Stefon Diggs, and rookie wide receiver Gabe Davis taking a pass to the end zone for a long touchdown (more on that later). But on a down-to-down basis, the defense was clearly the winner overall.’

‘On the surface, Pornoy, a lifelong Boston fan who once handcuffed himself to the floor of the NFL’s Manhattan headquarters to protest Tom Brady’s “Deflategate” suspension in 2015 (that stunt resulted in his arrest), choosing to align himself with one of the Patriots’ chief competitors in the AFC East would seem an odd choice. However, the attention-craving “El Pres” has never been one to turn down a marketing opportunity and lending the Barstool name to an NFL stadium would no doubt increase brand awareness. If he chooses to go through with his bold gambit, Portnoy certainly has the funds to pull it off. Portnoy’s estimated net worth is over $100 million.’

‘Until a new naming rights partner has been announced, Bills Stadium is the fourth official name for the stadium in Orchard Park since 1973 when it opened. Back then it was called Rich Stadium from 1973-97, and then it was called Ralph Wilson Stadium from 1998-2015, followed by New Era Field from 2016-2019.’

‘Edwards, a native of Australia, started every game for the Jets since the start of the 2016 season. He led the NFL in total punts and total punt yardage last season.’

‘The team was only on the field or about an hour, with helmets, no shoulder pads, and in shorts or sweatpants. Players are allowed to have full-contact, including live tackling, starting Thursday, so it’s very possible head coach Sean McDermott wanted to keep their bodies fresh for a more physical day.’

‘After a really strong performance on Monday, quarterback Josh Allen had a much more uneven day. There were definitely some pin-point strikes, but also some balls that went into no-man’s land, where he either missed or there was poor communication between him and his receivers.’

‘Diggs looks every bit the part of a true No. 1 wide receiver. From the very first few minutes when he was catching red zone passes from Josh Allen to 1-on-1 drills, Diggs ran terrific routes and made difficult catches look easy.’

‘The Bills had a total of four defensive tackles tryout for them, according to the NFL’s transaction wire. Oftentimes, teams simply want to get a look and information on a player now in case they need to act quickly at the position at some point during the season. However, in this case, they were clearly looking to add to and make changes at the spot.’
