‘Bernard wore a red non-contact jersey as the team practiced just outside the fieldhouse.’

‘For the Bills, cornerback Taron Johnson and linebacker Terrel Bernard have already been ruled out of the Sunday Night Football contest and did not practice on Wednesday as the team held a walk-through practice.’

‘Allen became the first NFL player with 200 plus passing yards and four plus passing touchdowns in a first half since when he did it himself against Pittsburgh in 2022. Allen also became the first quarterback in NFL history to complete 75 percent of his passes throw for four plus touchdowns without taking a sack, and leading his team in rushing yards.’

‘It is not that the Bills have won these first three games that is impressive, it is how. First, they had to wake up from a slow start with a mix of pass and run attacks to come back and claim victory against Arizona. Four days later, they smother the Dolphins on a short week and Josh Allen doesn’t even need to lift a finger, as the defense and the run game did nearly all the work. Finally, after ten days off, Allen wanted in on the dominance. Allen and the air attack could do no wrong, as they put a hapless Jaguars team into the dirt.’

‘McDermott, speaking to reporters via Zoom a day after his team’s 47-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, said that both players are improving and will do a little more this week, but still won’t be ready to take the field for the game.’

‘The lone blemish of the half was a blocked point after attempt after the Bills’ first touchdown. That hat was merely an afterthought by the time fans wandered out to the concourse at halftime, enjoying orange slices and a 34-3 lead.’

‘The Bills took the field to start the game and worked their way down the field. There were some snags that led to a third down stop by the Jacksonville defense. Josh Allen and the Bills stayed on the field for a fourth down attempt to establish some dominance and successfully did so after Khalil Shakir got the first down and more.’

‘After the Bills scored their first touchdown, Tyler Bass had his extra point blocked. It didn’t cost them, but something they’ll need to correct.’

‘It was the baseball equivalent of a perfect game. The Bills could do no wrong as they steamrolled the Jaguars defense and scored touchdowns on all five of their first half drives.’

‘”The guys do a really good job of coming into work, coming in with a certain focus and and that’s really where our focus is every week is putting in the work.” McDermott said. “Preparing the best that we can, and controlling the things that we can.”‘

‘”And again, we were just guys making plays. Our offensive line blocked their tails off, and our defense gave us some good field positions, so it was a complementary football win tonight,” Allen said following Monday night’s victory with the media.”‘

‘The Jaguars are 0-2 and need a win badly. They’ve had a tough couple of losses to start the season. The Bills can get them thinking about another one if they can jump on them early.’

‘For the Bills, outside of Bernard and Johnson, all other active players are healthy and good-to-go, as none carry an injury designation for the game. That includes defensive ends Dawuane Smoot and Javon Solomon, who’ve both missed the team’s first two contests with injuries.’

‘”They mean an immense amount to me, to our organization. Still, we wish them well, their families as well. We’re happy that they’re happy,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott of both Davis and Morse during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show on Friday. “Listen, it’s unfortunate, that’s kind of the nature of the business from time-to-time. You wish you could have everyone just stay here, such as life in a lot of ways. But at the end of the day, we’re proud of those guys, and we’re looking forward to competing on Monday night.”‘

‘McDermott did not give a timeline on either player’s return, but the team did not place Johnson on Injured Reserve last week. That may be an encouraging sign the Bills are optimistic he will miss less than the required four games for a stint on IR.’
