Earlier this week, Emmanuel Sanders took a group of kids who have lost a parent or a sibling to Dave & Buster’s. Monday marked 10 years since his mother died so giving back to these kids was special.
"Everybody was thanking me but really I was thanking the kids, I needed that."
Von Miller: "I could have just stayed in LA and just rode off into the sunset and just rushed with Aaron Donald and piled up sacks but I wasn't content...this is a special team, they're right on the edge and I just wanted to be that last drop to overflow these guys."
Sean McDermott's reaction to Josh Allen's touchdown pass to James Cook as time expired in the first half is gold.
"He's lucky he threw a touchdown pass right there or else I probably would have flattened his tires." 😂
Quick PSA: When talking about women in sports media you think are good at their job, do not follow it with "she ACTUALLY knows her stuff" or "she really knows what she's talking about". You might think it's a compliment but it's rude & insulting & would not say it about a man.
Sean McDermott gets choked up talking about Tre'Davious White's injury as he was carted off in today's game with an Achilles injury on a non-contact play. Tre was McDermott's first draft pick after he took over as head coach of the

rookie LB Dorian Williams was very excited to play with A.J. Klein: "That's like my uncle...he balled out today...even he just came off the couch playing with the kids it doesn't matter."
Lorenzo Alexander says he's retiring and said he made the decision a while ago and says he hopes he can do something like what Kyle Williams and Eric Wood are doing by still being engaged with the team.

Josh Allen on Patrick Mahomes: "He's an awesome dude and has his foundation set up that helps a lot of people, that's something I admire. He's a really good dude off the field."
Josh Allen also gave a shout out to Tre'Davious White for his big play on Taron Johnson's pick-six: "For Tre White to go out and get a block on Lamar, it's unbelievable."
Stefon Diggs: "I got text messages from guys across the league. It's crazy because when I first got traded to Buffalo outside of Bills Mafia, not many people thought it was gonna work out and now I can smile and say God works in mysterious ways."
Isaiah McKenzie on not testing free agency: "I love being here, for me and my life it's always been about loyalty. The Buffalo Bills have been loyal to me and I want to stay loyal to them. We have a lot of great things happening. This is the place I want to be."
Cole Beasley said he wants to play another season and would like to be back with the

"I didn't play to my potential I would say...I'm happy I got the pick but it's not anything to hang my hat on."

Rookie RG O'Cyrus Torrence on Josh Allen's 52-yard touchdown run against the Steelers:
"It's like every game he does something like man, that's probably only something that he can do."
Dion Dawkins: "This is a different Buffalo Bills football team. We don't have to get in on anybody's back, this is all our doing. It feels good to kick that front door down and sweep the East."
4 years ago my cardiologist said I probably won’t make it through 13+ miles given how high my heart rate got when I exercised (250+ BPM). I had a cardiac ablation in 2018.

interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady on Josh Allen's 52-yard touchdown run & Allen running the ball in general:
"I think when you try to hold Josh Allen back you're probably doing a disservice."

WR Zay Jones: "I want to be in Buffalo for my career. I don't want to go anywhere else. That's how I think it should be."
"I think there's a lot of opportunity out there. I wish Kelvin the best but I want to move on from that."

on finding Josh Allen after the game last week: “I pretty much told him we’re gonna do this a lot. This isn’t gonna be the end of our story of going up vs each other, there’s gonna be a lot of great battles for us in our career.”
You can tell Frank Gore loves talking about Devin Singletary who he says is like his "little brother."
"I’m going to stay on the phone with him
every day, even when I’m done."
Singletary had the first 100-yard game of his career with 106 yards vs. Broncos.

Tre'Davious White said to see where this organization was in 2017 to where it is now is "nothing short of amazing." He also said "I'm happy I was able to help Buffalo do this."
Micah Hyde said he loves playing at home but also "wherever we go

He also adds it's kind of fun being in "enemy territory".
Cole Beasley describes the touchdown pass from Josh Allen in the second quarter.
While he does, John Brown is next to him and Beasley says "we had two great quarterbacks today" as Brown threw a TD pass to Devin Singletary.

"I guess I'm just glad Dawson needed a break."
“My name’s on it!”
Bills center Mitch Morse is this year’s recipient of the Kent Hull Standup Guy Award as voted on by media members who cover the team. Easy, easy decision this year. Always appreciate Mitch’s respect, professionalism and making our jobs easier.
Just raw emotion here from Tre'Davious White talking about Damar Hamlin's injury and what the week has been like. I asked him what it was like to talk to Damar on FaceTime after the game and

Here's the 1st part of his answer (1/2):
Von Miller on his impressions of Josh Allen: "Huge reason why I came here, I'm a huge believer in Josh Allen and what we're doing with the Bills and I wanted to be a part of it. Being here close up to Josh everything you see on TV is real. He's down to earth, he's a great guy."

Josh Allen when asked if the NFL's Covid rules are fair: "It's really not my place to speak on that I'm just trying to be the best quarterback I can be and try to win a game on Sunday. I try to pay littlest attention as possible."
Tre'Davious White said
@HamlinIsland
texted the team around 2:30 in the morning saying "I'm thinking about y'all, I'm sorry that I did that to y'all."
"That just shows what type of person he is."
Here's the 2nd part of his answer (2/2):
Josh Allen: "That's a really good team we just played, I'll say that over and over. Our guys played today with a hungry attitude and you saw the results."
Sean McDermott on if Mitch Trubisky has to play: "That's why we brought Mitch in, he's more than capable, we have 100% confidence in him. There's no hesitation there whatsoever."
Stefon Diggs on standing behind his QB after a game like this: "He leads the best way he knows how, he makes a lot of plays out there so rallying behind him at a time like this. I mean turnovers are gonna happen, you know you hate them, but shit does happen."
Josh Allen admitted it's a little hard to watch film of the last time he played the Patriots in week four and that he was trying to do too much.
"That was a game that helped me realized that I didn't need to make every single play by myself."

CB Tre'Davious White talks about how his kids helped him during his rehab from a torn ACL last November:
"Once I started walking normally he was like dad you wanna play hide 'n seek?"
"They got me through it, each and every day seeing them."
Micah Hyde and Christian Kirksey have been best friends for a while so it's no surprise Hyde was pumped to see his dude at One Bills Drive this morning.
"It was pure excitement, it gave me a little more boost."
Already on Greg Rousseau's wiki page: 😂
"He is not related to the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, but he will spend the next ten years Enlightening NFL quarterbacks to his presence."
Micah Hyde is not sorry for the way they've been winning games. Hyde after a 24-9 win over the
