‘No offense to Howard, but apparently all I needed was to watch Josh Allen and the Bills offense march right down the field on the season opening drive, capped by a brilliant Ken Dorsey play call for an Allen to Gabriel Davis TD. Just like that, all the anxiety left my body.’

‘If they want to succeed more in the run game, they don’t need to run it more, they need to run it better. That remains the case here. Allen and Singletary save this group tonight.’

‘And if it weren’t for self-inflicted mistakes, the score would’ve been even much more lopsided than the 31-10 outcome everyone saw.’

‘“I’m taking it one day at a time, where I’m locked in and focusing on my technique and fundamentals,” said Elam leading up to Thursday’s game in Los Angeles.’

‘The Bills and Dawson Knox have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension that will tie him to Buffalo through the end of the 2026 season, the team announced on Wednesday.’

‘We’ve heard a lot of good things about how things have gone at camp between him and quarterback Josh Allen and the rest of the unit. Allen has certainly given Dorsey his endorsement, but none of that really matters until it gets real, which is does Thursday night.’

‘The idea of keeping things in perspective is certainly something McDermott has learned to do over his five years as head coach of the Bills. Since he has taken the helm, his teams have gone 3-2 in Week 1 matchups, with all three wins coming against the New York Jets.’

‘“I wanted to thank everybody. I’ve really felt a lot of love and support the last few weeks with my brother,” said Knox on Monday. “My family’s been very thankful, and just everybody in Buffalo have been incredible. The amount of texts I’ve gotten, the messages, the posts, the moment of silence for the preseason game. It’s just been everything that I’ve expected out of Buffalo and more, because this city’s incredible. It’s meant the world to me, and I think they raised over $200,000 for the P.U.N.T. Foundation in my brother’s name. It’s really mind blowing the support that I’ve had, so it’s just an absolute blessing.’

‘This is Dorsey’s first season as offensive coordinator and the Rams are defending Super Bowl Champions and he said there aren’t too many secrets on that side of the ball either, “They’re incredibly talented all over the board and he’s (Aaron Donald) one of the best players in football. They pose a lot of different problems, not only personnel wise, but scheme, so it’s not only trying to slow him down, but that front is a very talented group.”’

‘Only two players did not practice on Monday. Backup offensive tackle Tommy Doyle and backup tight end Quintin Morris worked with trainers off to the side as the team worked just outside the ADPRO Sports Training Center.’

‘Wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and defensive tackle Tim Settle, Jr. were both back on the field after missing time recently due to injuries.’

‘Those nine players include quarterback Josh Allen, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, center Mitch Morse, linebackers Von Miller and Tremaine Edmunds, safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer, and special teamers Taiwan Jones and Tyler Matakevich.’

‘”Tre’s in a good spot, he’s working hard.” Beane said of his All-Pro cornerback. “Remember, it’s a long season so he’ll still play a considerable amount of games, and far he’s experienced no setbacks. We’ll start trying to get him ready as soon as he is able. He’s still doing all the drills that you saw him doing in training camp.”‘

‘The Buffalo Bills filled out their practice squad on Thursday by announcing the signing of tight end Zach Davidson, cornerback Kyler McMichael, and offensive tackle Ryan Van Demark.’

‘The Fayetteville, Georgia native can also handle kickoffs. He served as the Lions primary kickoff specialist throughout his nine years in Detroit.’
