WHAM

‘Safety Jordan Poyer (shin) and defensive end Leonard Floyd (illness) have also been sidelined this week, but both were full participants at Friday’s practice and should be good to go for Monday night’s home matchup against the Broncos, airing on 13WHAM ABC.’

‘”Confident,” McDermott said. “Confident in our team, confident in our coaches, confident in our players, confident in our staff. Doesn’t mean we don’t have work to do, doesn’t mean we don’t have a gap to close — and there’s different things that make up that gap — so we’ve got to continue to drill down on those areas and play better as an overall team, complementary-wise, and reset some things that we to reset.”‘

‘West is currently pursuing a bachelor of arts in jazz studies at SUNY Fredonia. His studies encompass voice, piano and trombone.’

‘”Coming off a game like that, I just feel like we can play and we can beat anybody,” Murray said. “A lot of times — this is getting redundant — but it’s us beating ourselves. (So we talked about) how can we avoid that? What can we do different during the week? How can we find something different amongst ourselves so we can get a different result?”‘

‘The first-round draft pick has 23 catches in the last three games.’

‘The team rested for two days after losing to the Bengals Sunday night, falling to 5-4. The Bills took a break, but I think most fans also need a break — from this team. It was another ugly performance in Cincinnati, and the offense struggled once again.’

‘”I understand everyone’s frustration. I absolutely do,” McDermott said. “We’re working extremely hard to make the adjustments we have to make, and Ken is doing the same. I remain confident in Ken and our offensive staff, and we continue to work hard at improving and getting the results we’re all working for.”‘

‘I think there’s good reason to believe Miller could take a big leap this week. He did look noticeably better against Tampa Bay. There were multiple reps where you saw some burst and some strength.’

‘”That’s honestly what it comes down to — our guys and myself just getting in the right position to make the plays,” Allen said. “Sometimes it’s not so much about the X’s and O’s, but the ‘Jimmys and Joes,’ and going out there and playing together. And like I said earlier, playing complimentary football and not putting our defense in bad situations.”‘

‘But the biggest part has been the fact that Cincinnati’s star quarterback, Joe Burrow, finally seems healthy after injuring his calf earlier this year.’

‘The Bengals come into the Week 9 matchup off three straight wins. Their star quarterback, Joe Burrow, has gotten healthy, and the Cincinnati offense has taken off. Yet, they’re only 4-3 on the season, and remain winless in the AFC.’

‘”I don’t think it’s going to linger too much,” Allen said. ” If I had to practice today, I absolutely would have. If the game was today, I’m playing in the game. But (I’m) just trying to make sure it’s not super sore and we’re just trying to stay on top of it and get ahead of it while we can.”‘

‘Buffalo acquired the 28-year-old corner and a 2024 fifth-round pick from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick. He’s been a durable player, missing just nine total games since coming into the league in 2018. He also intercepted Josh Allen during the Packers’ loss to the Bills last season.’

‘Fournette, 28, was reportedly set to visit Buffalo earlier this month, but it was cancelled when the Bills realized they would be able to keep running back Ty Johnson.’

‘But what made it different for the Bills offense on this night was the fact Gabe Davis also had nine catches, Khalil Shakir led the team in receiving yards, Dalton Kincaid had five catches and his first touchdown. They spread it around, and it worked.’
