Buffalo Bills: Rookie quarterback Josh Allen apparently listened to the advice of team captain LeSean McCoy before the Bills’ unexpected 27-6 victory over Minnesota on Sunday in Allen’s first road start. “I told him before the game, ‘Josh this is the first time you’ve played in Minnesota Vikings stadium,'” McCoy said, according to the team website. “‘There are so many fans out there who may have heard of you, but don’t know you. So when you leave this game today, have them fans saying, ‘Wow, that 17 can play.’ So each game have that same attitude, where someone who hasn’t seen you play, you want to leave a great impression on their mind, like, ‘Hey, that kid can get after it.’ So I can say this. Each game he takes that approach he gains more confidence and gains more experience.”Miami Dolphins: In his five years with the Patriots before signing a two-year, $12 million contract with the Dolphins, wide receiver Danny Amendola certainly learned a thing of two from Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. One of them must have been to stay tight-lipped about the opponent. With the Dolphins headed to Foxborough, Mass., to play the Patriots on Sunday, Amendola did his best Belichick impression when answering questions about the game. What will it be like to be on the visitors side of the field at Gillette Stadium? “I’m going to be on the other side of the field. That’s it,” he said, according to the Miami Herald. Would it be emotional for him to see his ex-teammates again? “Emotions? I play with a lot of emotion every game. I have a lot of friends on every team. This won’t be really much different. I’m familiar with a lot of people in the organization and I’m excited to get up there.”New England Patriots: The roles are reversed in Foxborough this week. The Patriots are the team off to the 1-2 start; the visiting Dolphins are 3-0. And coach Bill Belichick had some nice things to say about the Dolphins, including their quarterback, Ryan Tannehill. “Seventy-three percent completions. You can start with that. He handles a lot of responsibility for their team with what looks like plays at the line of scrimmage where he can get the team into the right play or change the protection, things like that, and then his decision making on some of the option plays that he has and, obviously, in the passing game, his decision making on who to throw the ball to and so forth. There’s obviously a lot of confidence in him as there should be, and he’s done a great job for them.”New York Jets: The Jets will meet the Jaguars in Jacksonville on Sunday and will face their former teammate, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. He recalled that the Jets took a chance signing him after he was arrested on drunk driving charges and waived by Tampa Bay, then stood by him as he rebuilt his career. They didn’t re-sign him this year, but he’ll forever be grateful. “They chose me,” Seferian-Jenkins said, according to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco. “That was a big deal, to me. I was really messed up at that point in my life. Didn’t have any direction. I felt lost and they brought me in. They helped me. They had gotten me help that I needed and I’ve been playing good football ever since, so I really owe them a lot.”
