‘Of the fourteen players listed on the team’s first injury report of the week, only two of them did not actually participate in practice, tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and defensive tackle Phadarian Mathis (shoulder).’

‘Hardman joins the Bills after having spent the early parts of the 2025 season in Green Bay with the Packers. While Hardman never played in the regular season with the Packers, he did spend some time on the team’s practice squad before being released in late September.’

‘Kincaid left the Bills 30-13 loss to Miami early with the injury and did not return. Last season saw Kincaid miss three games due to injury, he dealt with a PCL sprain in his knee.’

‘The Bills appeared disjointed offensively from the start, and failed to produce much of anything until it was far too late in a 30-13 loss on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida.’

‘”I’ve got to be better,” said Allen. “Anytime you turn it over three times, two while driving into the red zone, that’s a recipe for disaster. Getting stopped on third and two, where I could have done something different didn’t really set us up great. It comes down to execution, and we didn’t execute.”‘

‘It was a struggle all afternoon for the Bills to really do anything on offense. The top rushing team in the NFL ran for just 87 yards. The passing game had no answers and the bills kept giving the ball away.’

‘It is a familiar theme, with an inability of wide receivers to get open. Allen is either making throws that are contested or is scrambling around, buying time while hoping he sees daylight between a target and the defender. Too many throws are behind the line of scrimmage or within two to three yards. Yards after catch are hard to come by because of the separation issue. Khalil Shakir is the Bills best wide receiver but passes to him are not going downfield. Shakir had just 58 yards on seven receptions.’

‘The Dolphins are having a tough season. They are 2-7. They fired their general manager a little over a week ago. They just traded one of their top defensive players. They have a couple key injuries. Bills fans will be taking over their stadium. If the Bills can jump on them quickly, they’ll know they are in for a long day and may check-out. But if Buffalo gives them any life and hope early, it could be a much more competitive game throughout. The Bills need to make sure that doesn’t happen.’

‘”We want to win games. There’s no doubt about it, that’s that’s what we’re here to do. Beyond that, there’s a bigger purpose and a higher purpose for myself for our players, for our community, for our organization, and that’s to make an impact in our community. And I’m extremely proud when I hear stories of guys like Dan and beyond making that impact, that positive impact in our community. And it’s a real thing, right? We want to win, like I mentioned, but that imprint, that footprint that we create, lasts for a long time.”‘

‘It was less than two years ago the Dolphins were playing a home game with a chance to clinch the AFC East division. I’m sure you remember since they were facing the Bills in that week 18 matchup in the 2023 season. Miami was 11-5 and the Bills were 10-6. The Bills won that game. Miami still made the playoffs but lost in the wild card round at Kansas City and the Dolphins have gone downhill ever since.’

‘Running back James Cook (ankle) and defensive end Joey Bosa (wrist) both returned to the field after missing Wednesday’s session and were listed as limited participants on the team’s official injury report.’

‘The list included several starting players who did not practice at all and others who were limited.’

‘The Buffalo Bills hold off the Kansas City Chiefs again in the regular season with a 28-21 win from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.’

‘”I think we learned a little bit about ourselves today,” said McDermott during his postgame comments with the media. “We’re not where we need to be, but I saw the team come together when it got tough.”‘

‘Bills quarterback Josh Allen had one of his best performances of the season, going 23-of-26 in the air for 273 yards and three total touchdowns. His 88.5% completion rate officially set a new franchise record for the best completion percent in a single game.’
