‘When Spector suffered his fourth calf strain, he was having the best training camp of his career. Although he thought that was the case the year before, too. Twice he injured his hamstring that cost him eight games in 2023 and a back fracture in the AFC wild-card round against the Pittsburgh Steelers.’

High-scoring Bills attack led by Allen pose a challenge for Falcons to turn yards into more points
‘Led by Allen, the reigning NFL MVP, and dynamic running back James Cook, the Bills bring a more solid statistical offensive foundation to the prime-time game. Buffalo’s averages of 395.8 yards and 30.6 points each rank third in the league, even after their 23-20 loss to New England on Oct. 5.’
Allen and high-scoring Bills will try to rebound from 1st loss when they face Penix and Falcons
‘Key matchup – Bills TE Dalton Kincaid vs. Falcons safeties Jessie Bates III and Xavier Watts. Kincaid had a career-best 108 receiving yards last week. He leads Buffalo with 287 yards receiving and three TD catches.’
Closer look shows Buffalo Bills have responded well following losses in recent years
‘Since the 2021 season, the Bills are 15-4 overall coming off a loss. Guys like Taron Johnson and Dion Dawkins, who have been with this organization for multiple years, say that success could be something as small as guys sticking to the process that has brought them success during that time.’
Today in Bills stadium history: Oct. 11
‘2009 — Browns 6, Bills 3 — An unforgettable game even if very little that happened on the field was worth remembering. Winning quarterback Derek Anderson needed to complete only two passes in directing an offense that scratched out just 193 yards. Buffalo’s offense was hardly any better with 288 yards and three turnovers. The Bills were flagged for 15 penalties, nine of them false starts. Roscoe Parrish lost two fumbles in the last four minutes, the first one putting the Browns in position for Billy Cundiff’s winning goal from 18 yards away, and the second one near midfield on Buffalo’s last gasp to get in position for a tying field goal. Considered by many to be the worst NFL game played this century.’
Firebaugh High honors alum, NFL MVP Josh Allen with field dedication
‘It was halftime of Firebaugh’s 35-3 win over Tranquility, and in a few moments, the turf beneath their feet would be named: Josh Allen Field. “He wishes in the worst way that he could be here, but he’s in his season right now,” Lavonne said. “We’re here representing him, and we could not be more honored.”‘

Inside the Bills: Is Keon Coleman's latest transgression the start of a troubling trend?
‘Remember: This is not the first time the receiver has been disciplined by the team. He missed the first quarter of a Week 3 win over Jacksonville last year, with McDermott revealing afterward that it was a coaching decision after Coleman was late.’
Bills notebook: Matt Milano, T.J. Sanders don't practice; Josh Allen ready to check off Mercedes-Benz Stadium
‘Seven players were limited for the Bills: left tackle Dion Dawkins (thumb), safety Damar Hamlin (pectoral), tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique), defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle), safety Taylor Rapp (nose) and linebacker Dorian Williams (knee).’
Bills make major strides in new stadium field grass, seat installation
‘The field and lower levels of the more than $2 billion stadium also are taking shape, with about a third of the stadium’s seats installed and work in the interior of the building making great strides in places such as the concourses and field level suites, which will provide fans unprecedented access.’
Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen didn't always take what the Patriots gave him, because of two reasons. Take a look
‘The first was a fumble by Allen on a botched jet sweep, and the second was committed by Keon Coleman. The penalties negated momentum and continuously robbed the Bills of positive plays, while the turnovers transferred momentum to New England. The Bills had nine offensive drives in the game, and their three total turnovers eliminated one-third of their possessions, giving New England more opportunities. And the Patriots cashed in.’
Bills coaches and receiver agree it’s time to grow after second disciplinary action
‘“I wouldn’t call it a setback, you know, it’s just a growing pain in the sense,” Coleman said Thursday as the Bills returned to practice in preparation for Monday night’s game in Atlanta. “It is frustrating because you know you’re better than that as a person and an individual and you don’t like the things that it shows. Sometimes it might show that you don’t care and things like that, and that’s not the case.”’
Bills may see return of one defensive starter vs Falcons, but another appears to be out
‘The potential good news is that defensive tackle Ed Oliver is practicing again, though McDermott said it would be on a limited basis. That has been Oliver’s designation the last couple weeks, and McDermott said Monday that he was “hopeful” that Oliver can play for the first time since Week 1. He sprained his ankle in practice a few days after that game and has missed four games.’
The numbers tell the story of Bills’ cornerback collapse
‘Since the moment the Bills convened for training camp at St. John Fisher University, one of the biggest questions McDermott and defensive coordinator Bobby Babich needed to determine was who would start opposite Benford.’
Rochester natives turned Falcons teammates will face hometown Bills
‘Cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr. and running back Nathan Carter both trace their origins to western New York, where their families and early football journeys took shape before diverging onto very different paths to the NFL.’
