The only people I’m worried about is my teammates and not letting them down.”’

‘The fourth-year defensive end has talent oozing from his 6-foot-7, 265-pound frame and the Bills have been waiting for a consistent drip from the 2021 first-round pick. The Arizona Cardinals felt that talent pour out in Buffalo’s 34-28 season-opening win.’

Charles Barkley says Buffalo Bills will win the Super Bowl
‘“The Buffalo Bills win their first Super Bowl,” Barkley told Simmons on the podcast, before strangely conflating the current team to the 1990s powerhouse, which repeatedly fell agonizingly short. “They are the most underrated great team ever.

Ability to adapt on the fly helped Bills defense spur season-opening win over Cards

Bills stock report: New receivers, edge rusher have star-making performances in Week 1 win
‘Bernard had 11 tackles, but wasn’t great in pass coverage. Per PFF, he allowed four catches and also wasn’t great against the run. Kyler Murray ran all over the Bills’ defense, which isn’t solely on Bernard, but he certainly shoulders some blame. This isn’t a “the sky is falling” type of thing, either. He’s a terrific linebacker and a leader of this team. He’s just shouldering more of the load.’
Bills set NFL record that may never be broken with win over Cardinals
‘Buffalo reached its 42nd consecutive game without losing by more than six points. The record looked very much in doubt in the first half, but they overcame the deficit off the strength of Allen and a defense that didn’t allow a touchdown in the second half. The last time the Bills lost by more than six was November 21, 2021 when they lost to the Indianapolis Colts 41-15.’

Community Benefits Oversight Committee asks Buffalo Bills for more input in investments
‘”We want to be able to help them in that process,” said Reverand Mark Blue, Chair of the Community Benefits Oversight Committee. “A lot of the community members who are on the committee are invested, and they know maybe some of the hidden pockets that have not been addressed not only by the Bills, but organizations that may not have the opportunity, to receive some of the financing moving forward.”‘
