‘”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.”‘

‘Allen has had all the tests done. He said Wednesday it’s a pain management issue.’

‘”I messed up my ankle, probably a couple plays before,” Morris said. “Game on the line, we’re low on numbers, I was just like, ‘We ain’t got no more people, so I’ve got to do something.”‘

‘However, the 28-year-old did not end up visiting Buffalo Tuesday, as his visit was cancelled. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Bills thought they were going to lose running back Ty Johnson from their practice squad, but they did not, meaning the team didn’t need to add another running back for now.’

‘”At the end of the day, you have to find a rhythm,” McDermott said. “We got to establish a line of scrimmage and get our quarterback in a good rhythm. It’s probably a little bit of everything, it’s usually never just one thing. So, we got to go look at that and look hard at it.”‘

‘Taron Johnson found a way to make a play and hold on for the victory.’

‘Running back Damien Harris left the field in an ambulance and was reportedly taken to the hospital after injuring his neck while being tackled in the second quarter of Buffalo’s Sunday night matchup against the Giants.’
