‘The league has already rescheduled the Titans’ game with the Steelers to Week 7 of the season, which was originally scheduled to be Tennessee’s bye week. Pittsburgh’s Week 7 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens has now been pushed back a week to fit into the Steelers’ originally scheduled bye week.’

‘Wide receiver John Brown, left tackle Dion Dawkins, safety Micah Hyde, defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson, and linebacker Del’Shawn Phillips were all listed as “DNP” on Wednesday, but all participated in some capacity on Thursday.’

‘Allen is the first Bills player to be named AFC Offensive Player of the Month since quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick earned the honor back in September of 2011, and only the second since September of 2002 when Drew Bledsoe won the award.’

‘Left tackle Dion Dawkins did not participate in the portion of practice open to the media. He was present, but wore a red jersey and worked off to the side.’

‘Allen was assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty after complaining to an official that he believed he was brought down by a horsecollar tackle. (He was, but because he was inside the pocket it was not illegal.) He was also penalized for a facemask trying to fend off a tackler.’

‘“The speed of the NFL game is so much different than college. I don’t care if you come from the SEC, the ACC, the Big 12, or if you come from Wyoming,” Gruden told reporters Wednesday. “And I think he’s experienced now and he’s caught up with it.”‘

‘The Bills drafted Todd Collins, J.P. Losman and E.J. Manuel with early draft picks, and none of them started more than 35 games in their NFL careers. Trent Edwards, Cardale Jones and Nathan Peterman were later fliers who didn’t do too much — Peterman was actually historically bad. And there were veterans who came to town, as well, including Bledsoe, Doug Flutie and Ryan Fitzpatrick.’

‘Allen, Diggs, Brown, and Beasley with help from Gabriel Davis, Tyler Kroft, and (just like we drew it up) Reggie Gilliam, are finding the end zone routinely. This isn’t just something that means wins now, it creates a feeling that no game is over. It gives birth to a belief that the team can hang with, maybe, any opponent.’

‘”I understand the plans they’re working on,” Cuomo said. “We have a complicated factor in Western New York because we have a higher infection rate than other parts of the state and we’ve had a caution flag up… I think it was 1.3 percent today. We’re trying to get the infection rate down. It’s something we’re looking at seriously.”‘

‘Whether this means with certainty that there will not be fans at the Bills next home game on Oct. 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs remains to be seen.’

‘Thanks to social media, those who went down the wrong path when it comes to Allen now have their chance to admit their mistake.’

‘“You learn through experiences,” McDermott said. “We as a team have learned through shared experiences.”’

‘Allen said he spent the offseason tweaking his mechanics with his coaches and offseason tutor Jordan Palmer – another former quarterback who works with several quarterbacks around the league – and Allen said that Romo wanted him to “feel your head is on a stake through the ground and you’re just trying to rotate it around and use [the torso] as an axis.”’

‘This is what we’ve all been asking for. Not just winning football games, but doing it by throwing the ball, scoring points, having a quarterback who gives you a chance every time he touches it. Being aggressive… and entertaining.’

‘”I am comfortable saying now that the conversations I’ve had with the Bills and the state is a belief that 10%, which would be a little over 7,000 fans, would be safe. As long as you had time for entry and exit. Which means the game may end and you would not be allowed to leave until your section until your section is called.”‘
