‘McDermott added that he didn’t believe the soreness would impact Allen’s ability to practice at all this week.’

‘But you might be able to celebrate a Bills playoff berth before the Sunday night showdown with the Dolphins kicks off: If the Pittsburgh Steelers lose to the Ravens in Baltimore – they play Saturday at 4:30 p.m. EST – or the Jacksonville Jaguars lose to the Titans in Tennessee – a Sunday 1 p.m. EST game.’

‘The Patriots received the opening kickoff and got straight to work. Jalen Reagor returned the kick 98 yards for the opening score of the game just 12 seconds into the game.’

‘”We knew it was going to be a tough game, and it was a cordial, professional handshake, and an exchange of words and respect,” McDermott added of his postgame comments with Belichick.’

‘”Obviously we’d love to have a home playoff game, would love to get in the playoffs, that’s first-and-foremost,” said Allen during his postgame comments with the media. “Just doing whatever we can do to give ourselves a chance of getting in.”‘

‘The Patriots blitzed quite a bit and impacted Allen’s throwing, because they were getting close too easily, too often. They only sacked him once, but were credited with eight quarterback hurries.’

‘With a division title on the line in Week 18, the National Football League announced late Sunday night the Buffalo Bills’ and Miami Dolphins’ regular season finale showdown will take place on “Sunday Night Football” in South Florida at Hard Rock Stadium.’

‘However, Zappe has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long when in trouble and has been sacked 13 times over those four games. The Patriots’ 13 sacks given up over the last four weeks are tied for seventh most in the NFL. Sean McDermott and the Bills defense needs to confuse Zappe, to force him to look around longer, then have a greater chance to get him down.’

‘Bill Belichick went 32-3 against the Bills with Tom Brady at quarterback. Without Brady? Belichick’s record against the Bills is 5-9 without Brady, including the most embarrassing playoff loss we’ve ever seen.’

‘”He’ll be up,” head coach Sean McDermott told The Extra Point Show on WGR550 on Friday, meaning Jones will be on the roster and active for the game.’

‘”Every week the NFL is as challenging as there is in professional sports and our team comes ready to play and I give our players a lot of credit for this time of year they’ve been at their best. I think the last couple of weeks you’ve seen signs of that with this team this season, like we have in the past. This will be a big challenge this weekend here in Orchard Park and at home in December and a meaningful game. These are the games you love playing and this is what you work so hard for during the season.”‘

‘”The only thing that is true is that we do have a third son on the way,” said Miller on Thursday. “Everything else is untrue.”‘

‘This move could be an indicator that defensive tackle DaQuan Jones is ready to return from Injured Reserve, as he battles back from a pectoral injury suffered in a Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.’

‘With this roster move, the Bills are currently at the maximum of players available on the roster at 53.’

‘Just a few weeks ago, most sites that calculate NFL team’s playoff chances had the Bills pegged at below 20% to get into the postseason. But with the help of a three-game winning streak, they can actually clinch a berth this weekend with a win and a little help.’
