The Buffalo Bills provided Josh Allen and their inconsistent passing attack yet another veteran option by signing free agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks

The only real hurdle to clear before the veteran wide receiver can realistically see game action is his acclimation to the offense. According to Allen, however, Cooks has hit the ground running.

“They had 12 hits on Josh, eight sacks. That’s not a healthy formula right there,” McDermott said about the Texans' defense. “It’s not a healthy way to play or a healthy way to keep our quarterback healthy through the remainder of the season.”

The Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers face off with both trying to bolster their playoff positioning in the wide-open AFC.

Allen was present as the University of Wyoming football team retired his jersey at halftime of a Saturday afternoon matchup with Nevada.

Buffalo falls as low as No. 12 in some rankings after their fourth loss, with experts questioning their Super Bowl contender status.

Aaron Rodgers and his broken left wrist could play on Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Buffalo Bills. The 41-year-old Rodgers practiced in a limited capacity last week, but ended up watching Pittsburgh's 31-28 loss to Chicago from the sideline in sweatpants after Steelers coach Mike Tomlin decided to make Rodgers inactive and start Mason Rudolph instead.

The Pro Football Reference QB Hall of Fame Monitor already ranks Allen one spot ahead of Jim Kelly, and Allen has the most rushing touchdowns in the history of an organization that handed off to league MVPs Cookie Gilchrist, O.J. Simpson and Thurman Thomas.
