‘Johnson said his job was to read Lamar Jackson’s eyes. “He never saw me.”‘

‘”It feels amazing, I was telling the guys I finally don’t have to host an AFC Championship game at my house,” smiled Hughes. “People can sit back and watch me.”‘

‘”Guys see what people say on TV. Being the home team, we still didn’t have a chance,” said Allen. “That’s what a lot of people said.”‘

‘It was a game straight out of the 1960s.’

‘Sean McDermott has embraced the Bills wildly successful plan of letting Josh cook. The franchise that couldn’t throw straight became Air Buffalo in 2021. But at heart he is a defensive coach. On the biggest night and biggest stage of his coaching career, the defense run by Leslie Frazier and McDermott dominated. They frustrated Lamar Jackson and the Ravens for the entire night. The Bills had heard all week that Baltimore was the defense that can win the game. And while the Ravens D is still very good, the best unit on the field Saturday night was Buffalo’s defense. What he stands for at his coaching core was justified again and it got his team to the brink of a Super Bowl.’

‘Meet J.K. Dobbins, he is fast and he is physical. While this his first NFL season, he hasn’t played like a rookie. In the last seven games straight he’s scored a touchdown.’

‘The bottom line is Lamar is going to get his big explosive plays. The name of the game is limiting HOW MANY of those 47 yards rushes he gets.’

‘The six year NFL veteran last played for the Bills in October against the Titans where he rushed for 52 yards and tacked on another 22 receiving yards with one catch.’

‘”I don’t care where you’re from,” smiled Hyde. “We’re all humans. The cold is not fun to play in. I’d rather be in South Florida.”‘

‘To be apart of an organization, that he says, ‘believes in him.”

‘”That man is fast out there on the field,” said Poyer after practice on Tuesday about Lamar Jackson, “that guy can break open a game at any moment.”‘

‘Now let’s be real, a lot has changed for Allen and the Bills in the last year.’

‘Well, at least to the fans-his performance was no surprise to the people in the Bills locker room.’

‘The Ravens have been unbelievable on the ground this season. Baltimore has rushed for 3,307 yards in total this year.’

‘”They’re big. They’re strong. They’re tough,” said Sean McDermott.’
