‘“That game put him back into the top-five for the season in terms of [Pro Football Focus] grades,” PFF analyst Sam Monson said on The DA Show on CBS Sports Radio. “He had slipped out of that group. He was in there during his incredible run at the start of the year, and then the last few games had dragged his grade down and pulled him away from the very top quarterbacks in the NFL. But he jumped back into that group with that game against Seattle.”’

‘”You can’t forget about Stefon Diggs,” Marshall said. “He’s not the No. 1 wide receiver, but we don’t talk about him enough. That’s a guy that can beat one-on-one coverage over, and over, and over again.”‘

‘Even though three different offensive linemen and their star cornerback left Sunday’s 44-34 win over the Seattle Seahawks Sunday with injuries, Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday most of the injuries suffered were “day-to-day type injuries,” but added, “nothing new overall on the injury front.”‘

‘Back when the two were division rivals in the AFC East, Adams didn’t seem particularly impressed with Allen’s skill set, expressing his disdain on Twitter (props to Sporting News for digging these up).’

‘Some have a great player – or a few. But even with those great ones, the gap to the next group isn’t very wide. Oh, there’s no doubt the best quarterbacks and having a collection of some of the more superior talent will make a difference. That’s why teams win 13 or 14 games, and win multiple Super Bowls over a period of years.’

‘Josh Allen played, arguably, his best game of the season, and maybe one of the best of his career so far. The 24-year-old ended the day throwing for three touchdowns, running for another, and finishing with over 400 passing yards for the second time this season.’

‘The shocking storyline from the Bills’ 44-34 win has to be the defensive effort. Getting to Wilson five times, getting four turnovers, holding them to 3-for-12 on third downs, and holding the D.K. Metcalf/Tyler Lockett duo to 148 yards and a score is a huge win for a Bills defensive unit struggling to find the success Bills fans have grown accustomed to during Sean McDermott’s first four seasons.’

‘Getting a win over a competitive, talented and well-coached team, that’s a true contender in the NFC, should give this Bills team a huge boost. With the performances we saw from Allen, a fully-healthy John Brown and the defense, there could be a lot more to look forward to as we now hit the back half of the regular season.’

‘Holy cow was Allen good in this one, especially in the first half. The Bills’ quarterback started incredibly hot and stayed that way for most of it, connecting on 13 of 15 first quarter passes, and 24 of 28 in the first half for 282 yards by halftime. He only threw ten passes in the second half, but still connected on seven of them to finish 31-for-38 (81.5%) for 415 yards and 3 TD passes. Allen added another 14 yards and one touchdown rushing, for a four TD day.’

‘Despite the Bills having a bye week after their Week 10 matchup with the Cardinals in Arizona, the NFL’s amended collective bargaining agreement says Milano must sit out three games.’

‘Since Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier have been in charge of the Bills defense their first year together in 2017, they’ve consistently been one of, if not the best team in the league in not allowing long pass plays. Seattle will want to push the ball down the field and make those plays, and they’re very good at that. The Bills will want to limit them and have been good at doing that.’

‘”His confidence has always been there, but I think it’s at an all-time high right now. I think he’s just super confidence in his arm, as we all are. Then you add [Stefon] Diggs to our receiving corps it’s just ridiculous. Why wouldn’t you be confident?”‘

‘McDermott on possibly inserting linebacker Darron Lee into the lineup on Sunday: “It’s possible. Not out of the realm of possibility at this point. It is a short run-up, if you will, so we’ll have to see how today goes and tomorrow as well.”‘

‘Meanwhile, wide receiver John Brown was a full participant Thursday, but center Mitch Morse was among those who did not practice. Morse is in the league’s concussion protocol, as is safety Micah Hyde, who not only practiced for a second straight day, but was also no longer in a red non-contact jersey.’

‘The 2020 season was expected to be a breakout year for Knox, but so far it has been anything but that. In his four games played this season, the 6-foot-4, 254-pound tight end has just six receptions for 93 yards on 12 total targets.’
