‘”It’s been important for us,” head coach Sean McDermott said. “We knew that going into the season that it was going to take some time, and it’s still a work in progress in a lot of areas. There’s always something to work on with your team… With the young guys in this case, I think they’ve contributed very well in this short season to this point. Will their experience pay off? I’ve got to believe it will… I think that holistically it’s been good for us, been good for them and we’re getting more and more comfortable in these roles.”‘

Is Keon Coleman ready to take off? 3 questions as Bills prepare for Seahawks
‘For as exciting as it is for the Bills to have injected Amari Cooper into the offense, the reality is this: He’s the present, but he’s probably not the future because it doesn’t seem like the Bills would be looking to pay him a sizable chunk of change in free agency before 2025. Coleman, the 2024 second-round pick, is the future, a future that looked a whole lot brighter Sunday.
Justin Timberlake learns Buffalo Bills fans are a serious bunch during tour stop
‘After the photo-op ended, Timberlake asked if the fan was giving him her Bills hat. In the famous words of Lee Corso, “Not so fast!”’
Watch as Bills rookie WR Keon Coleman shows off his comedic skills in new ad campaign
‘In the social media promo, Coleman visits Niagara Falls with the help of Booking.com, and he puts on a performance worthy of an “I Think You Should Leave” sketch. Between a comically large tie, his outtakes being left in the video and the late-night infomercial graphics, Coleman should get a few laughs out of this ad campaign.’
Bills WR Keon Coleman’s New Commercial at Niagara Falls is Too Funny
‘Outtakes of Coleman’s spot for Booking.com made their way onto the internet earlier this week and they are tremendous. Coleman is amped up for getting up close and personal with Niagara Falls, walks viewers through his thought process as he reinforces how simple it is to get a great deal, and channels some of the same memorable energy Fred McGriff displayed in those classic Tom Emanski instructional videos commercials.’

Upon Further Review: Bills should be proud of win vs. Titans ... but they know slow starts could cost them
‘“I think we just went back to playing and being who we are,” rookie defensive tackle DeWayne Carter said. “It’s just fundamental football, sound fundamental football. That’s we have to do to win in this league. You know, (in) my short time, coach McDermott always preaches it. I think the coolest message he ever told us was, ‘You’ve just got to keep hitting good shots on the fairway, just keeping getting shots on the fairway. That eventually leads to success.’ We had that mentality, that mindset. I think it showed in the second half.”’
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid producing with more time on the field
‘Trust in Kincaid was reflected in the team’s snap counts. The second-year tight end played 40 of the team’s 55 offensive snaps, 73%. It’s the second straight game Kincaid has played at least 73% of the offensive snaps. That comes after a run of four games in which he didn’t top 63%. Perhaps not coincidentally, Kincaid has nine catches for 103 yards during the Bills’ two-game win streak.’
Joe Brady watch: Here's how bigger personnel helped jump-start Bills in second half vs. Titans
‘The Bills ran their three-wide-receiver set on 18 of 20 plays in the first half against the Tennessee Titans. Mixing personnel worked a lot better in the second half. Josh Allen was only 3 of 10 passing out of three wides (“11” personnel) in the first half. In the second half, the Bills ran bigger personnel, with multiple tight ends or an extra lineman on more than half the plays (18 of 34). Allen was 17 of 22 passing for 258 yards in the second half.’
Position grades: Bills' Josh Allen passes Jim Kelly on an all-time list; OLs, WRs get high marks

Alan Pergament: Nobody does Bills games better than CBS' Andrew Catalon
‘Nobody knows the Bills better than CBS’ play-by-play announcer Andrew Catalon, who works Bills preseason games for WIVB-TV (Channel 4) alongside Steve Tasker.’
Bills head west to take on NFL's top passing team in Week 8: What to know
‘With Geno Smith firing on all cylinders this season, the Seahawks have the No. 1 passing offense in the NFL at 271 yards per game, so it’s no secret what they will try to do against Buffalo. However, while the Bills rank just 17th against the pass, they have a top-flight trio of cornerbacks in Taron Johnson, Christian Benford and Rasul Douglas. How the Seahawks fare with apparently only two of their threesome of wide receivers – DK Metcalf is expected to miss the game with a knee injury, leaving Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba – might determine the outcome.’
