‘”I’m proud of our team how we battled tonight,” said Allen following the Bills’ win on Sunday in Kansas City. “Guys just kept their head down, didn’t panic, didn’t blink, as we like to say in our locker room. Trusted the game plan, trusted situational football. Got a ‘W’ tonight, that was our only goal. … It’s another win. It’s what we’re trying to do each and every week.”‘

‘The Bills were just 2-for-4 in the Chiefs red zone, and had another drive stall at Kansas City’s 21 yard line, one yard away from making it 2-for-5.’

‘The Bills just faced the Baltimore Ravens two weeks ago and elected to have nickel cornerback Taron Johnson often take on tight end Mark Andrews, who was limited to just two catches all day. Maybe that’s the course of action the Bills take against Kelce, as well. Whatever it is, keeping him from having a big day will go along way towards getting a victory.’

‘Just one player has been ruled out, that being wide receiver Jake Kumerow(ankle) and just one player is questionable, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips(hamstring). This comes after a number of weeks where the Bills have been hampered by injuries.’

‘“There are moments you can use to learn from, not only as you move forward against this team, but against every team,” McDermott said. “You try to continue to grow and improve yourself, and your team.”‘

‘Those in attendance on Thursday went wild when Allen was shown on the scoreboard. He was also wearing his new Alex Tuch sweater.’

‘The possibility of that happening took another step forward on Thursday, when Jordan Poyer and Christian Bedford were both on the practice field for a second day in a row, both wearing red non-contact jerseys.’

‘By practicing, the Bills now have 21 days to either activate White to the 53-man roster or place him on Injured Reserve.’

‘In addition to playing each team from one specific division every three years, the scheduling formula also includes a game against the same-place finisher in the other two divisions.’

‘McKenzie missed Sunday’s 38-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers while in the protocol. He suffered the concussion in the team’s 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens the previous week, and was listed as questionable to play before being inactive on Sunday.’

‘The Bills stuffed the run, holding Najee Harris to 20 yards on 11 carries. They recorded three sacks, had a takeaway, and held the Steelers to 0-for-4 in the red zone and 0-for-3 on fourth down.’

‘It’s gonna look less like grading and more of a recollection of highlights…’.

‘Buffalo came into the game with a few lingering injuries from weeks prior, but that didn’t phase the Bills, as they turned to rookies like Khalil Shakir and James Cook to become crucial pieces in the team’s 38-3 win.’

‘”Not flinching when things don’t go our way with the injuries, in this case, or anything for that matter,” said McDermott with the assembled media. “Coming out in the second half the way the guys did, not flinching in that regard either. When things are going well and we’re up like we were, to have the leadership and the wherewithal and the poise to go back out there and play one play at a time.”‘

‘”That’s gonna help us going forward, getting this run game involved,” Allen said of Cook. “Our backs did a great job running the ball today. Seeing James get going, get his first touchdown. Getting Khalil his first touchdown. That’s a special moment for those guys, and I’m happy we got to be a part of it.”‘
