‘The Buffalo Bills will kick off the season on Sunday at Highmark Stadium against the Arizona Cardinals and with a new season comes new food and drink offerings.’

‘On Sunday, his charity, Chasing M’s Foundation, held a Back-to-school event at the Johnnie B. Wiley Stadium on Jefferson Avenue.’

‘The one word he used to describe the feeling of being named to the initial 53-man roster of his hometown team, was grateful.’

‘Andreessen’s unlikely path to the NFL began at Lancaster High School, where he led the Legends to some of their best seasons in program history. He then went to Bryant University for five years before finishing his collegiate career at the University at Buffalo. After a strong season with the Bulls, Andreessen earned a tryout with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in May and eventually signed with the team a few days later.’

‘The 29-year-old has spent time with both the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins and has appeared in 14 NFL games.’

‘The bonds will be available for one day only on September 23, the day before the bonds go on sale to outside investors.’

‘“Where the current stadium is, to have your hotels, eateries, shops, and maybe a family-friendly portion of that, where you have a small carnival-type setting,” Majchrzak said. “You’ll see growth throughout the village and also as you move closer to the stadium.”’

‘Just One Before I Die is a title that hits home for a championship-starved fan base and is a film being directed by award-winning filmmakers, die-hard Bills fans, and Buffalo natives Addison Henderson and Kevin Polowy.’

‘“I think I look like I stole the show. I got my chops out, I got my red cleats, but I can’t compete with Josh [Allen] and [Matt] Milano,” Dawkins said. “To be a part of Fisher-Price’s Little People… Little person in a big town, I guess being a little person is a big thing.”’

‘Hamler could’ve pushed for a roster spot with a strong preseason but I’m expecting he’ll stick around on the practice squad. I could see the same thing happening with Justin Shorter, but it wasn’t a great summer for the Bills 2023 draft pick.’

‘Joe’s biggest fan though is his 10-year-old cousin Bowen, also known as Bo. Bo, and his sister Rhemmy, have gone to support Andreessen when he played football for both Bryant University and University at Buffalo.’

‘”He was going against NFL starters,” said Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babich. “It’s really cool to see. I think you see the professionalism, how smart he is and obviously he showed some things in that game. But it’s just one game. The true sign of a pro is consistency.”‘

‘Wide receiver was arguably the most concerning position group heading into training camp and entering the final preseason game those doubts remain. With Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling both injured, the Bills don’t have many proven options heading into the season.’

‘”I’m not going to mention any names but there are a couple of guys emerging,” said Babich. “I don’t want to put any expectations on any players. I want it to happen organically and let the chips fall where they need to.”‘

‘The game is the team’s “Kids Day” game and the festivities kick off with a Junior Tailgate starting at 9 a.m. in the bus and limo lot at Highmark Stadium. There will be games, activities and giveaways along with a dance party hosted by DJ Milk.’
