‘”If you’re not on your ‘A’ game, it shows up rather quickly,” McDermott said. “And then you head to the buses with sour faces.”‘

‘”Coordinators, they want to throw the ball too. Don’t get it twisted,” Allen said. “You want to be able to be balanced and throw in some wrinkles and have the splash plays, but, again, when something’s working so well, to go away from it, it’s very hard to do and it’s probably not the smart thing to do.”‘

‘The second-year player out of Georgia posted 179 rushing yards, 42 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns in Buffalo’s 31-10 win Sunday against Dallas.’

‘Head coach Sean McDermott said Sunday’s win was great, but doing that once only goes so far. “It should help confidence, number one. Beyond that, though, the good teams do it more than once,” McDermott said. “I think that’s where our focus has to be this week — doubling down on the focus, doubling down on the execution and the preparation that leads to the execution, and the details we have to have on gameday.”‘

‘The Bills’ defense also played an incredible game, holding Dallas to just 10 points and 195 total yards on offense.’

‘”The key is James Cook,” Allen said. “Having that mindset, having that mentality, putting his shoulder down, running through tackles, in the pass game making plays. I know he’s going to beat himself up over that one at the goal line, but you can’t ask for much more from the guy. He’s been working hard. He’s probably top five in most scrimmage yards in the league right now. We’ve got to keep relying on him.”‘

‘The Bills got a ton of pressure, making Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott uncomfortable all game.’

‘”Josh reminds me a lot of that one crazy guy at the frat. I probably would have hated to meet Josh in college. He’s the one that makes his friends get all the way drunk and you just be like ‘Ah, I ain’t going out with this guy,'” Parsons joked. “He just does anything. He’s that wild dude on the field. He wants to dip his shoulder, he’s going to talk trash, and he’s going to get rowdy. You shoot the beer pong and he ace the cup and it’s on and popping. I would love to have a bar and grill out with Josh, for sure. Just not this week.”‘

‘”We have to start with ourselves and making sure that we’re fundamentally strong,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said. “They’re a tough matchup, and it’s a matchup game. They’re tough because of the skills that they possess.”‘

‘The Bills star receiver was ineffective in Kansas City, and has averaged just four catches for 40 yards per game over the past month.’

‘Here’s the thing, though. Mahomes isn’t just being a sore loser — he’s just flat-out wrong.’

‘Despite a controversial ending, the Bills made big plays on both sides of the ball to put this game away.’

‘It’s the third year in a row they won a regular season game here, even though they’ve lost here twice in the playoffs.’

‘It’s going to be a tough task to come into Arrowhead and pull out a win against Patrick Mahomes and company to keep their playoff hopes alive. Yet, Buffalo has won both regular season games they’ve played in Kansas City during the Josh Allen era.’

‘”It was clearly, to me, an attack on my character, and that’s important to me, as much — if not more — than wins and losses,” he said. “Wins and losses are important. What’s important to me, from day one, is how you handle yourself. It doesn’t mean I’ve been perfect. It doesn’t mean I haven’t been without flaw. But what’s most important to myself, my family and kids, is that I handle this job the right way.”‘
