‘Before this season, NFL analysts and punters – er, pundits – often bemoaned the Bills’ losses of star players like Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Micah Hyde, Tre White, Mitch Morse and so on.’

Bills need to use Amari Cooper more in order to make deep playoff run
‘”The Bills traded for Amari Cooper to bolster the receiving corps ahead of their playoff run,” the piece said. “They welcomed him to the gameplan with five targets in his first game. He responded with four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. He’s only combined for five targets over the last two weeks, though. He made his presence felt against the Chiefs with two receptions for 55 yards, but he was only targeted three times. Cooper is one of the team’s best downfield separators now. It would be good to see the Bills use him more as the season goes on.”‘
Bills' path to No. 1 seed in AFC gets much easier after Browns win over Steelers
‘Cleveland defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are now 8-3 rather than 9-2. And according to Nick Veronica of News 4 Buffalo, that all but sets up a two-team race between the Bills and Chiefs for the No. 1 seed.’
Opinion: Bills at the bye
‘Don’t all of you sleep better knowing the Bills have Allen locked in as their franchise quarterback? Even though the wide receiver group was almost completely overhauled (more likely because of it), Allen looks to have his best shot at winning the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award this year.’

Ice tubs, massages, acupuncture, IVs: How Bills players use new methods to recover from game day
‘We’re talking ice baths, in which they sit in a single-person tub of ice water that’s between 48 and 52 degrees. You think that’s cold? They also can stand in a cryogenic cold chamber for two minutes that’s minus-180 Celsius (minus-292 Fahrenheit). They use hot tubs. Hyperbaric chambers. Massage. Chiropractic. Ultra-violet light therapy. Intravenous infusions. Acupuncture. Platelet-rich plasma injections. Stem-cell therapy. Cupping therapy. Electrical stimulation. And on and on.’
Sacks are down but Bills defensive line is creating mayhem for opposing offenses
‘Rousseau is ranked second in tackles for a loss (12), third in quarterback hits (18) and knockdowns (12) and eighth in pressures (26). And while his sack production has been mercurial — he went five games without a sack after recording three in Week 1 and has 2 ½ over the last five games — Rousseau has been consistent about one thing: he doesn’t care about sacks.’
AFC East-leading Bills stand to come out of their bye week healthier with LB Milano set to return
‘“You talk about a guy that’s been on a journey, right? Two years now of going through what he’s gone through,” coach Sean McDermott said. “He’s so resilient. He’s persistent. He’s got a goal. And he’s worked his butt off to get back to where he’s at.”’
J.J. Watt raves about Bills Mafia after taking pregame show to Buffalo
‘”I see why you love Gameday so much,” Watt said to McAfee. “That atmosphere… I tried to get the Buffalo crowd going and they delivered. We were chugging beers, we had people showing up at 6:00 AM. It was electric… very similar to Wisconsin folks. I felt right at home.”‘
Latest stat shows exactly why Josh Allen is NFL MVP, not Lamar Jackson
‘Buffalo sits at 9-2 for a number of reasons, the biggest of which being No. 17 under center being the best player in football. And while many were practically engraving Lamar Jackson’s name into the 2024 MVP Award for the last several weeks, Josh Allen has proven that he is the one who should be crowned as the league’s top performer of 2024, with his 26 yard viral scramble against the Chiefs being the exclamation point on his work thus far. However, it is a different stat that shows just how great Allen is compared to just about every other quarterback in the NFL.’
Bills could clinch AFC East without playing in Week 12
‘For those playing at home, the scenario is simple. The Dolphins take to the field twice before the Bills return from this week’s bye to face the 49ers, meaning just one loss to either the Patriots or Packers would leave them too far back to close the gap.’
Do we already know who the Bills will play in the playoffs?
‘If that is the case, the Bills have a 40 per cent chance of meeting up with the Broncos or the Chargers in Round 1, both posing challenging matchups against either Sean Payton or Jim Harbaugh.’
