‘Cornerback Dane Jackson was upgraded from an estimated limited participant at Wednesday’s walk-thru to a full participant on Thursday.’

‘The NFL announced on Thursday its plans for international games during the 2023 season, with the Bills being one of five teams to host a game in Europe. Buffalo will be playing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, home of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. of the English Premier League.’

‘Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie – both missed Sunday’s Wild Card win over the Miami Dolphins – along with cornerback Dane Jackson – injured during the game – and safety Jordan Poyer were all estimated as being limited if it had been a normal practice.’

‘Jackson started the game and played 27 defensive snaps before being injured with 2:20 remaining before halftime. He did not return, and was replaced by rookie cornerback Kaiir Elam, who came up with a game-changing interception in the third quarter.’

‘If the Bills offense would just stop giving the ball to the Dolphins, they would manage to put some touchdown drives together. They did exactly that, but the Bills offense kept both teams in this game due to its mistakes.’

‘The Buffalo Bills are moving on in the 2022 NFL Playoffs by the narrowest of margins.’

‘”I give our guys credit, they hung in there and they figured out a way to get a win, and that’s one of the things I think they’ve been really good at this year. We definitely have a lot to take out of this game and learn from,” said McDermott after Sunday’s win.’

‘”One week seasons, man, that’s it,” Allen said following the win. “Gotta take it 1-0, one game at a time. Thought we did some good things today, and I did some bad things today. Some stuff to clean up, some things to learn from, but we’ll grow from it. All that matters is surviving and advancing. It doesn’t matter how we win, it’s if we win, and proud of our guys for playing the way they did.”‘

‘Pass protection was an issue for the Bills’ offensive line. They allowed seven sacks on the afternoon of Allen.’

‘Thanks to Buffalo’s 34-31 win on Sunday in the AFC Wild Card Round over the Miami Dolphins, coupled with a 24-17 win for the Bengals on Sunday night over the Baltimore Ravens, the two teams will meet for a 3 p.m. EST kickoff on Sunday, Jan. 22 in Orchard Park.’

‘The Bills need to take advantage of those backup linemen, and make sure Thompson doesn’t have any time in the pocket when he drops back. Even if he does have time, confuse Thompson and show him things he hasn’t seen before when he wants to throw.’

‘Wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips are both listed as questionable for the game, while no other player on the active roster has an injury designation.’

‘The NFL announced both the First-Team and Second-Team All-Pro rosters on Friday, put together annually by the Associated Press, with Milano being recognized as one of the best players in his position group. The other two linebackers recognized as First-Team All-Pro players are Fred Warner of the San Francisco 49ers and Roquan Smith of the Baltimore Ravens.’

‘“I think it’s great we’ve been in multiple playoff games. That said, this game will not have any attachments to any of those other games,” McDermott said.’

‘Beasley had been on the team’s practice squad since Dec. 13 and played in three regular season games, which was in conjunction with the maximum number of times he was allowed to be elevated from the practice squad during the season.’
