No injury designation for Josh Allen, who improved to limited today. Joey Bosa, Dalton Kincaid, and Jordan Phillips questionable. No Terrel Bernard, DaQuan Jones, or Jordan Poyer. #Bills

This blue BMW is getting pummeled. I don’t know why it’s parked there or why its windows are down but quite a few people are coming to see it. These are brutal conditions along Lake Erie in Hamburg. @WGRZ
