Josh Allen

After the surprising firing of head coach Sean McDermott, the Buffalo Bills are interviewing former quarterback Philip Rivers. Rivers recently unretired to play for the Indianapolis Colts to help push for a playoff bid. After the Colts were eliminated from playoff contention, Rivers went back to being retired. The choice to interview Rivers is surprising as he only has high school coaching experience. One can argue that Rivers intimate knowledge of football is his strongest suit.

This development could be huge for Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Allen and Rivers share the same agent and Allen worked out with Rivers during the pre-draft process. Being on the same page with a knowledgeable coach can be very beneficial for Allen. Allen has been a top three quarterback in fantasy for the last six years, including QB1 in four of the six. Rivers could help Allen become even better.

Josh Allen was battling through multiple injuries in the Buffalo Bills loss to the Denver Broncos and now might need a procedure to take care of one of them. Allen suffered a foot injury late in the regular season and the Bills limited his practice reps because of it.

Brandon Beane said that he expects Allen to be ready for the team’s OTAs regardless of if he as the procedure or not. The Bills face another long offseason after coming up short again in the playoffs. Allen remains an elite quarterback option for fantasy managers and it doesn’t appear that he’s in any danger of missing significant time.

The Buffalo Bills have fired head coach Sean McDermott, ending his nine-year tenure in Buffalo.  The decision comes just two days after a 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC divisional round of the playoffs, another postseason disappointment for McDermott and the Bills.

McDermott finishes his Bills career with 98-50 regular season record and a playoff record of 8-8.  The Bills became the first NFL team to win a playoff game seven straight years without a Super Bowl appearance.  With the Bills never getting over the hump to make to Super Bowl, general manager Brandon Beane made the choice of needing a change.  The Bills are set to open a new stadium next season and will have to do so with a new head coach.

Sean McDermott moves to the top of several head coaching vacancies and should have no problem finding a new home.

It’s time for the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs. It also means the latest in injury news to report before the teams release before gametime.

• Today, the No. 6 seed Buffalo Bills head to Mile High Stadium to face the top-seeded Denver Broncos. Josh Allen has many bumps and bruises ailing him, but he will be “full go” for the matchup, absent receivers Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers, who landed on the injured reserve last week, ending their season for an already-depleted wide receiver corps.
• Good news in that department came in the form of Curtis Samuel being activated from the list. He is active for the game and will jump right in as a weapon for Allen.
• Tight end Dalton Kincaid was limited all week (knee, calf) but has been playing through the injury of late. He will do so again on Saturday.
• Placekicker Matt Prater is good to go; it appears his quad injury is completely behind him.
• Running Back Ty Johnson (ankle) was only able to practice once this week, and on a limited basis. Expected to be the Bills’ No. 2 RB over Ray Davis. Johnson is officially out.
• The Denver Broncos have no notable injuries on the offensive side after a week of rest.

• The No. 6-seeded San Francisco 49ers will have to take on their rivals in Seattle without tight end George Kittle against the Seahawks.
• Wide receiver Jacob Cowing (IR) will not be activated before the game.
• Wideout Ricky Pearsall (PCL) is questionable and will be a game-time decision. Pearsall himself admitted a lack of explosiveness thanks to the injury but hopes to be on the field. Kyle Shanahan relayed that if he can play, there will be no snap count restrictions whatsoever.
• Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, already battling a quad injury, aggravated the injury in practice and was forced to cut the session short. Darnold maintains that he is “fine” and is “looking forward to being out there.” Seattle’s backup quarterback is Drew Lock.
• Wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba missed practice on consecutive days this week, but neither absence was injury-related.

6 Buffalo Bills (12-5) at 1 Denver Broncos (14-3) – 4:30 PM ET

6 San Francisco 49ers (12-5) at 1 Seattle Seahawks (14-3) – 8:00 PM ET – Update coming soon

Josh Allen and the Bills showed the Patriots what they’re capable of, scoring 28 points in the second half to rally for the 35-31 victory and give them hope in the AFC East title race. Buffalo has now reached 10 wins for the seventh consecutive season. The season series is split one win apiece.

Allen finished 19 of 28 for 193 yards and three touchdowns, connecting with veteran tight end Dawson Knox on two of the throws and James Cook, the other. “No matter what the score is, if it’s in the third quarter, in the fourth quarter, whatever it is, if we’ve got a chance and we’ve got the ball, we feel like we like our chances,” Allen said.
