This is Terrence McGee’s seventh season in Buffalo. But he’s only spent the past two as the team’s top cornerback—which means he gets to chase the opposition’s best receiver all over the field week-after-week. Obviously he’s been up to the task. In fact, last year he was the Bills’ leader in interceptions and pass breakups. So, he was awarded for his talents today. And a new four-year, $27 million contract extension will keep him in Buffalo’s defensive secondary.

I worked last night’s incredible Monday Night Football game from Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, NY. It was the first MNF game in Buffalo in 13 years. Despite finishing +5 in the turnover battle, the Bills were not able to hang on and lost a 25-24 heartbreaker to the still-undefeated Dallas Cowboys on the last play of the game. I’ve got an interview with Bills DB Jabari Greer over on the BPR Home Team Edition podcast series. You can also read my thoughts from the game. But here’s a short interview I …read more
