A limited-edition beer made with snow from Highmark Stadium, Blizzard Brew celebrates the great lengths Bills fans will go for one of the NFL's greatest traditions, the company says. This season is the last for the Bills at the original Highmark Stadium[JJ1.1], and NFL fans around the world have become very familiar with one of the venue's most iconic traditions: Bills Mafia shoveling it out following an overload of snow before an upcoming home game, it adds.
At this point of the season, monitoring the pick availability in your group is critical, especially in a week where one team projects as the overwhelming chalk. The Houston Texans are being picked in over half of remaining Eliminator entries early in the week. They are available for 58% of Eliminator Challenge entries, but that will vary for each group. The more teams that have the Texans available, the more valuable fading them becomes.
Among the biggest problems with the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Bills, a side from blowing a 21-point halftime lead, was the officiating. Although it's never ideal to discuss how referees may have impacted a game one way or the other, it's sometimes too big a story to ignore, and that is partly the case with this loss. Beyond the questionable pass interference calls, one of which took away an obvious interception by Marcus Jones, there was also a noticeable lack of penalties on the Bills.
"Our guys, they understand. They have a good feel for when they are and when they're not playing the way we need to play," coach Sean McDermott said. "And I saw Josh [Allen] as I was kind of bringing everybody up [at halftime], and he looked at me. I just knew he was seeing it like I was. The entire team was on the same vibe."
Over the last few years, the Patriots have lost every member of the dynasty team either by cutting them outright or letting them leave in free agency, becoming the official sign that the best days are in the rearview mirror. That has led fans to hope some of them will eventually return after spending time with other teams, including a beloved cornerback who remains unsigned this season.
Will Harris' return from injury was always going to come with collateral damage. As it turned out, Darnell Savage Jr. was the Washington Commanders' odd man out in their safety room. Savage was a healthy scratch against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. This didn't sit well with the defensive back, and he asked for his release. The Commanders granted his wish, putting him on the waiver wire to see if someone else would take the plunge.
The Buffalo Bills will be without pivotal pieces of the offense when the team plays the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday as both starting offensive tackles -- Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown -- have been ruled out by coach Sean McDermott. They are dealing with injuries stemming from the team's Week 12 loss to the Houston Texans. Brown suffered a shoulder injury in the game and tried to play through it, but was unable to finish the game, sitting out the final drive.
The Bears now have five wins this season after trailing in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, tied for the most in a season since the 1970 merger, according to ESPN Research. Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams has five game-winning drives in the fourth quarter this season, the most in a season by a Bears quarterback since the merger.
Of course Josh Allen didn't take a breath in the final seconds of the latest Chiefs-Bills classic. You never know with Pat [Mahomes], Allen told reporters after Buffalo eked out a 28-21 win on Sunday. Bills kicker Matt Prater had earlier missed a 52-yard field goal with 27 seconds remaining that would have sealed the win for Buffalo. Even the miss was dramatic, with Prater doinking his kick off the right upright.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- A Buffalo Bills defense that has dealt with a variety of injuries this season has yet another as starting nickel cornerback Taron Johnson was added to the team's injury report on Friday and is now questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson was limited in Friday's practice with a groin injury. If he can't go, the team's primary backup nickel has been veteran Cam Lewis.
