‘”The neighbors and the good people of Buffalo helping teammates dig out of their driveways and allowing them to get their cars out so they can make it to the facilities so we can get on the plane to come here,” said Josh Allen, thanking the community. “Obviously, crazy week, didn’t practice Friday, small practice Wednesday with some guys out, so not your typical week, but we’ve got some resilient guys on this team, guys that care about each other.”‘

‘Coming off two heart-wrenching losses to the Jets and Vikings that were filled with costly mistakes, Josh Allen and company came into this week looking to limit those errors, and they came out successful.’

‘It wasn’t an easy journey for some of the players, who posted videos of members of Bills Mafia helping them get their cars and trucks out of the snow so they could get to the airport.’

‘Buffalo will now play in Detroit twice in five days. The Bills were already scheduled to play the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.’

‘”You can’t buckle your knees. Things happen in this business all the time,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said. “We know where we live. We know weather can be a factor. I wasn’t here in 2014, but I’ve heard many stories of that snow event and what happened and how they handled it. We don’t have the players from 2014, but we’ve talked it through, we’ve got a plan and I think Sean’s done a good job of getting the guys to focus on the task at hand.’

‘Klein, 31, played for the Bills the last two seasons before the team released him in March.’

‘Leading 27-17, facing 4th & 2 at the Minnesota 7, McDermott passed up a short field goal that would have put the Bills up by 13 points.’

‘”Decision-making I think is number one,” Allen said. “Trusting the game plan, trusting the guys around me, not trying to do too much.”‘

‘You may recall in 2017, the Bills hosted the Colts amid heavy snowfall. On that day, the snow didn’t begin until right as the game started — creating a mess on the field. The Bills won that game 13-7 on a touchdown run by LeSean McCoy in overtime.’

‘Whether it was the defense allowing a 4th & 18 conversion or Josh Allen fumbling a simple snap on his goal line, the Bills now find themselves in third place in the AFC East.’

‘All the Bills needed was a stop on 4th & 18 and the game would have been all but over. But Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson made one of the great catches you will ever see in an NFL game.’

‘Let’s start with the fact that they had a 17-point lead in the second half and couldn’t close it out.’

‘Four turnovers – three by Josh Allen – and too many mistakes to pull out the win.’

‘Diggs said he’s been reading a lot recently, including a new book called “The Power of Unlocking You” — adding he’s been trying to educate himself more. “I’m getting old,” Diggs laughed. “This is just how it goes.”‘

‘McDermott said Allen would not practice Wednesday and said “we’ll see” whether he plays on Sunday.’
