‘But make no mistake about it — Buffalo played well against Tampa Bay, especially on offense.’

‘”We’re here to cheer in a team that we have faith in, and I just ‘Bill-ieve.’ Like my flag over there says — ‘Bill-ieve,'” he said. “It’s who we are. There’s no concern. We all go through tough times. They’re trying to find themselves out there. You know Josh Allen is a god. We’ll be OK.”‘

‘”When you look at the things that are fun, I think fun is scoring touchdowns,” the star wide receiver said. “We haven’t had too many touchdowns. When I say getting back to being us though, I really mean that by just scoring touchdowns, that’s the fun part. If we haven’t been doing that, it’ll kind of seem like we’re not having that much fun, I guess. You want (us) to get excited, we can go to the local ice cream shop.”‘

‘”I don’t have any pride. All I want to do is win,” Miller said. “I want to win. I want to see my teammates play well. Obviously I want to play well too, but the bottom line is I want to win and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to win.”‘

‘The game is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. and will only be available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, except in the Buffalo market.’

‘”Every week is a crossroads in the NFL,” McDermott said. “We’ve shown that we know how to win and we know how to figure things out and we know how to develop players and find the answer and the solutions. That’s what we’re here for.”‘

‘”Who knows, maybe I need to just think a little bit less and play football,” he said.’

‘”Each and every one of us should start by looking at ourselves and what we can do better,” McDermott said. “I think that’s really where it starts — take ownership of your piece of this and then raise your game in terms of doing your job better. I think that’s a healthy place to start.”‘

‘The Bills erased a 12-point deficit midway through the fourth quarter and took their first lead with 1:58 remaining, only to give up a game-winning touchdown in the closing seconds as they lost to the Patriots 29-25 Sunday in Foxborough, Mass.’

‘An inconsistent-to-bad team on offense right now, and a beaten-up defense.’

‘”We had an opportunity to win at the end, and we just needed a stop,” he said. “It was total collective failure by defense of just not getting the ball back or not stopping them. I’m not going to make an excuse for the injuries, none of that. This is the life of an NFL player. You’ve got to go out there, you’ve got to compete each and every week, whether there are injuries or not.”‘

‘”It just builds up my confidence,” said Miller. “Just continuing to build on that the week before in London and baseline. I thought last week I continued to take steps. Eventually I’ll start racking up sacks like I’ve been doing. I would love to just jump back in there and be the player I was back in November — but in reality, it just takes time to build up to that type of position on the football field.”‘

‘However, the defense will be without another key piece on the defensive end — Ed Oliver will not play, as he continues to nurse a toe injury.’

‘”Josh came in there and threw a shoulder, and that’s what you want to see. That’s why I came here — a huge part of it was Josh,” Miller said. “I love Josh, I love his mentality, and you can’t try to tame a mustang — you just gotta let him be wild and let him be him. You can’t try to tame him and change him. He’ll evolve into a Hall of Fame quarterback in due time. You can just see it — he has the moxie and the personality and all the roots to be a great quarterback.”‘

‘”Just because we hit a lull right now doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world,” Josh Allen said. “We’re working through some things.”‘
