New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor tries to avoid tackle New York Jets linebacker Jermaine Johnson during an NFL preseason game, Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023 in East Rutherford, N.J. The Jets won 32-24, but the two teams meet for real in a Week 8 regular season contest.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo holds a special place in Brian Daboll’s heart that goes beyond being his beloved hometown.
“When you’re able to coach good players and be around good players as a coach, they help you,” Daboll said during a Zoom call with Buffalo-area reporters as the Giants prepare to travel to play the Bills on Sunday night. The only lament, perhaps, for Daboll is wishing the circumstances might be more ideal for his homecoming, with the offensively challenged and banged-up Giants limping to Buffalo in a less than attractive matchup for prime time.
Bills coach Sean McDermott didn’t bother with the Giants’ struggles, saying they’re better than their record before noting his team has plenty of issues of its own. “Excited to see him,” said Allen, noting the two keep in touch regularly. “He’s meant so much to me in my football career, and in my life, for that matter.”Buffalo’s fourth-year edge rusher A.J. Epenesa is enjoying a breakthrough season and is coming off an outing in which he had two sacks, batted down three passes and recovered the fumble he forced.
Taylor went 22-20 in Buffalo and helped the Bills end a 17-season playoff drought in his final year, and first under McDermott. The Bills traded Taylor to Cleveland the following offseason to pave the way for drafting Allen.
