Bills

Bills DE Joey Bosa is in the 10th year of his career, but still feels like he has a lot of gas in the tank. Bosa said this year is the best he’s felt in his career.

“It is crazy to think that I’m 30, but I have a lot of life left,” Bosa said, via John Wawrow of The Associated Press. “And when I’m feeling good, I feel nice and young. And I’m feeling as good as I have my entire career.”

Bosa said he still has a lot to prove in his career.

“I think I have a lot to prove to mainly myself, because that’s all that really matters, that I still have stuff to give to this game,” Bosa said. “It’s just nice to have a fresh start with a new team and get to experience football in a different environment and a whole new situation.”

Bills DT DaQuan Jones signed with Buffalo in 2022 and feels coming to the organization was rejuvenating for his career. He thinks Bosa has a similar feeling since joining the team.

“You kind of felt like your career takes a little boost just from the culture standpoint and how we go out there and play, and I think he’s living in that moment now,” said Jones. “I think it’s a match made in heaven, and I hope he just continues to grow and continues to be happy.”

Dolphins

The Dolphins have dropped to 0-2 following their 33-27 loss to the Patriots. When asked about his job security, HC Mike McDaniel said he remains focused on doing his job at a high level.

“I think if I worry about my job security, I won’t be doing my job,” McDaniel said, via Alanis Thames of the Associated Press. “And I think that inherently is against all things that I believe in. I’ve never felt entitled to this position, and it’s very important for me to spend all of my waking hours worrying about exactly how to do my job, and all the residual effects of that are there’s a lot of people affected.”

McDaniel still feels he hasn’t lost the locker room, and players are still receptive to his leadership.

“I think if there was anything that would lend me to believe that messages weren’t being received, then you address those things,” McDaniel said. “To me, I think I’ve seen a team that is trying to do everything they can to win and coming up short and pressing forward and trying to change that result.”

Dolphins LB Chop Robinson said it’s on the players to execute.

“At the end of the day, it’s not him out there on the field,” Robinson said. “It’s us out there playing the game, making the mistakes on the field and stuff like that. So at the end of the day, it may look bad for him, but it’s really on us. We’ve got to get it better.”
