‘Josh Allen played a good part of this season like a superstar. Saturday he played like a leader. Yes his numbers were impressive and yes he made some Josh Allen experience plays. But this wasn’t some pad the stats blowout of the Broncos. This was an NFL playoff game and a massively important moment for the franchise. Allen put the team on his back, highlighted by the phenomenal end of the first half drive that gave them a lead they never lost. His fumble in the 4th was a Houston flashback from a year ago. But thanks to Daryl Williams he survived that and got to celebrate the first of what he hopes are a series of playoff wins.’

‘Diggs became the first wide receiver in franchise history to be named First-Team All-Pro.’

‘On Wednesday, Stefon Diggs downplayed his injury listed as an oblique issue. But both Diggs and Beasley did not practice on Wednesday.’

‘The Bills were having fun at practice Thursday, something this team has done seemingly every week.’

‘Over the Bills final five games of the season, Allen threw for 1,516 yards, with 15 TD’s while adding in another 110 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.’

‘When asked how he’s feeling the Bills wide receiver said, “I’m cool. Don’t believe everything you read,” smiled Diggs behind his mask.’

‘The Bills defense has played consistently better throughout the year, but the run defense was certainly a point where Buffalo has struggled.’

‘Allen says the main lesson he learned from last year’s playoff loss was to ‘not press and understand the situation’ they’re in.’

‘”I’m going to take my test, I’m going to be out there to watch the game with you, and we look forward to it,” said Cuomo.’

‘”Really good team. Well coached,” said McDermott. “Led by a hall of fame quarterback. Good front. Good offensive line. He’s got tight ends, receivers, backs.”‘

‘”We have a very important job this week. We’re behind. We have a short week. Everything I’m going to do, and I know the staff is going to do, is focus on the Colts.”‘

‘A year ago Allen went into Houston after a full season when he threw for less than 200 yards a game. Allen had 20 TD passes and 9 interceptions in 16 games. There were still questions about Allen’s long term future in Buffalo. In 2020? Allen is an MVP candidate and a star in the league. His statistic rise is meteoric. Yards from about 200-300 a game. TD’s from 20 to 37. Completion percentage from 58% (inaccurate) to 69% elite. Allen is a player that can carry the franchise to the Super Bowl.’

‘The win also gave the Bills an undefeated record in the AFC East (6-0) for the first time in franchise history.’

‘When the Titans edged the Texans on a last second field goal, it locked up the AFC South title for Tennessee and the playoff spot for Indy.’

‘There’s also the chance that other players will have to quarantine as a result of contract tracing from Kroft’s diagnosis.’
