Ticket-price increases are on the way for the Buffalo Bills, the team announced Friday.The amount and percentage will vary, with 52% of the general-admi sion tickets seeing increases ranging from $3 to $8.50.According to a statement released by
Sergio Rodriguez Jersey the team, or le s as the Bills continue to offer one of the lowest season-ticket prices in the NFL at $45 per game."Season tickets will increase by an average of $11.57 and will vary based on seat location. The average price per season ticket including club and regular seats
Wilt Chamberlain Jersey will be $113, including tax.The average general-admi sion seat will be $92 and average club-seat ticket $275. Those prices still rank below the NFL averages of $107 and $319, respectively. "We think it's fair market value," Bills vice president of ticket sales and service Chris Colleary said. "We compare other teams' prices; we compare our historical prices. We compare the value of that seat as a season ticket, the value as a single game
Robert Covington Jersey . We evaluate every seat, every row. There are some seats that may go up $3 a game and there are others that might go up $20 a game. The seats that go up $20 a game might be in the first five rows of the 100 level compared to a seat in the 300 level. So we factor all those things in it."Scroll to ContinueThe Bills also will feature dynamic ticket pricing based on the strength and popularity of opponents who will visit Highmark Stadium, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, Tenne see Titans and New England Patriots.A season-ticket waiting list
Timothe Luwawu Jersey that swelled to 3,000 following the decision to cap sales at 60,000 may be adjusted for 2022, according to the Bills.In the meantime, spots on the list can be secured for a deposit of $125 per seat."I just want to echo what general manager Brandon Beane said the other day. We're just so appreciative of the support for our season ticket members," Colleary said. "We can't thank them enough
Allen Iverson Jersey on behalf of the entire organization for their pa sion and loyalty. They set the bar for all of our fans."The Bills also expect the bulk of their Canadian fans back after travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic kept almost all of them away in 2020 and 2021.
Snapping a three-game losing streak and completing the season sweep of their rivals from the bay area, the Seahawks rebounded from an early 10-point deficit to defeat the 49ers 30-23 on Sunday, improving their record to 4-8 on the season.After keeping their (very) slim playoff hopes alive, which players shined in Seattle's bounce-back victory? Here are my top five grades and other notable performers from the team's much-needed Week 13 win at Lumen Field.Travis HomerOverall Grade: 88.0 (Rushing 97, Pa s Blocking 92, Receiving 75)Special teams standouts often don't receive the love they deserve, but Homer stole the show with several critical plays on Sunday. Receiving the green light from the coaching staff, he called his own number on a gutsy fake punt deep in Seattle's own territory on the game's opening drive. Taking a direct snap from Tyler Ott, he bolted outside to find a huge crease off the edge and rocketed into the 49ers secondary, eventually setting up a lead block by Nick Bellore that sprung
Semyon Varlamov Jersey him for a 73-yard touchdown. Then to open the second half, after Bellore punched the ball out of receiver Travis Benjamin's hands in kickoff coverage, the third-year back bounced on the loose football for a fumble recovery to set the Seahawks up with outstanding field position. In addition, he played flawle sly in pa s protection and tacked on four receptions out of the backfield for good measure.Ru sell WilsonOverall Grade: 87.0 (Pa sing 90, Rushing 80)Hindered by poor pa s protection, Wilson's recent struggles continued with just 22 pa sing yards on six completions in the opening quarter. But he found his groove midway through the second quarter and rediscovered his Pro Bowl form, starting with a 33-yard dime to DK Metcalf to move the chains on 3rd and 14. Two plays later, Adrian Peterson found pay dirt to trim the 49ers lead to 17-14. After San Francisco answered with a touchdown drive of its own, Wilson came right back with a seven-yard score to Dee Eskridge to cut the deficit to two points before halftime. With the game knotted up at 23 apiece midway through the third quarter, the star quarterback dropped a perfect 12-yard pa s into the bucket for Tyler Lockett in the back corner of the end zone on what wound up being the game-winning score. He finished the day 30 for 37 with 231 pa sing yards
Ben Smith Jersey and would have had three pa sing touchdowns if not for a drop by Gerald Everett at the goal line leading to an unfortunate interception by K'Wuan Williams.Dee EskridgeOverall Grade: 85.0 (Receiving 90, Run Blocking 70*)*Weighted for five run blocking repsScroll to ContinueLockett and Metcalf had more receptions and yardage than Eskridge, but the speedy rookie wideout made the most of his opportunities and provided a spark when the Seahawks absolutely needed it late in the first half. Down nine with under a minute to play in the second quarter, he first made a critical third down reception on a quick hitch and then broke cornerback Josh Norman's tackle attempt, allowing him to slip out of bounds after an 11-yard gain. Three plays later, following a roughing the pa ser call against the 49ers, Wilson climbed up in the pocket and then fired a dart to him on another quick curl. Just as he had done on the previous play, he used his strength to power through Deommodore Lenoir's tackle and dove into the end zone for his first career touchdown to cut the lead to 23-21. Later in the third quarter, he came open on a cro sing route and Wilson hit him along the sideline for a 17-yard gain to the
Tyson Jost Jersey 49ers 34-yard line. He finished with three receptions for 35 yards on three targets, coming through in the clutch with a touchdown and two first down conversions.Jordyn BrooksOverall Grade: 84.5 (Run Defense 90, Tackling 86, Coverage 80)Prior to Sunday, the 49ers had rushed for nearly 180 yards per game during a three-game winning streak. But with Brooks leading the charge, the Seahawks were able to thwart their red-hot ground attack, limiting rookie running back Elijah Mitchell to 66 yards and a meager 3.0 yards per carry average. The sophomore linebacker out of Texas Tech continues to improve each week, as he snuffed out numerous runs by Mitchell, including blowing him up for a tackle for lo s on San Francisco's opening po se sion. With teammate Bobby Wagner blowing up Kyle Jusczcyk's lead block, Brooks flew in to clean up the play behind the line of scrimmage. He finished with a team-high 11 tackles and made four stops holding Mitchell to two or le s yards. In coverage, Jimmy Garoppolo only targeted him three times and he allowed a pair of receptions
Joe Colborne Jersey for just 13 yards.Rashaad PennyOverall Grade: 83.0 (Rushing 76, Receiving 85, Pa s Protection 90)Although he only rushed for 35 yards on 10 carries, Penny ran tough all afternoon, averaging a team-high 2.60 yards after contact per carry according to Pro Football Focus. After battling injuries all season long, the former first-round pick finally showed off his explosivene s too, producing a pair of 10-plus yard rushes and breaking loose on a 27-yard pickup on a screen midway through the fourth quarter to advance the Seahawks into the red zone. But Penny's best play came without the football in his hands early in the third quarter. Wilson's left side in the backfield, he alertly broke off from his play fake when he noticed safety Talanoa Hufanga coming untouched off the edge on a blitz. Hitting the deck, he executed a perfect cut block on the defender to upend him, allowing Wilson to slide his pocket to the left and hit Eskridge for a 17-yard gain.Other Notable PerformancesSeveral defensive players narrowly mi sed out on the top five, led by safety Quandre Diggs, who registered his team-best fourth interception of the season and laid several big hits as a tackler. If not for his role allowing a
Blake Comeau Jersey 24-yard touchdown to George Kittle down the seam, his grade would have been significantly higher than 81.0. Mi sed tackles ultimately hurt Wagner's overall score, as he picked off his first pa s of the season and finished with nine tackles in a stellar effort against the 49ers run game, earning him an 80.0 mark. Cornerback Sidney Jones turned in a third consecutive strong outing with an 80.0 grade of his own, allowing two catches for 27 yards and making a key pa s breakup in the end zone during Seattle's final goal line stand. Fellow cornerback D.J. Reed also played well aside from Kittle's first touchdown grab, registering a pair of pa s breakups and receiving a 78.0 overall grade. Up front, Carlos Dunlap made the most of just seven defensive snaps, sacking Garoppolo for a safety and producing a game-clinching fourth down pa s deflection for an 81.0 grade. On the low end of the spectrum, Jamal Adams had a tough afternoon before exiting with a shoulder injury, mi sing two tackles and allowing a 28-yard catch to Kittle while caught in no man's land deciding whether or not to bli

Here's what three All49ers writers think will go down Week 13 when the 49ers play on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.Chuy MarquezThe 49ers head up north to play potentially the last meaningful game this season for Seattle at home. This is a typical trap game for the 49ers who travel into Seattle without Deebo Samuel or Fred Warner (more than likely). This game will prove what the 49ers are made of and if they are true contenders this
Winnipeg Jets Jersey season. The 49ers leaders must step up in this contest and Im talking about Jimmy Garoppolo, George Kittle, Trent Williams and Jimmie Ward. When youre named a team captain that means your teammates will look to you when adversity strikes and now is that time. I expect Garoppolo to have a big game including three touchdowns. He will spread the ball around to Kittle, Juszczyk and Aiyuk. Elijah Mitchell will have a good game but this is the time for your veteran leaders to show up and show out. If the leaders falter, then the 49ers will lose this game. Ward completely changed the fortunes of the 49ers season a few weeks ago against the Rams. Well, Jimmie you are needed once more and my feeling is that he will come through again. Expect Ru sell Wilson to chuck the rock downfield all day long, but this will hurt the Seahawks more than help them. The Seahawks will fall behind early and be completely one dimensional on offense, which will allow Nick Bosa to get after the QB. I expect him to have multiple sacks in this game. The 49ers will pull away early behind a balanced offensive attack and a big game from Garoppolo. Final Score: 49ers 31 - Seahawks 18Waruna Perera49ers fans claim that they own the Rams, but tend to forget Seattle's dominance, which stands at 14-4 in the past 18 matchups with San Francisco. Now, the 49ers have a chance to bury the Seahawks. The question is, can they do it without Deebo Samuel?Fred Warner's participation is doubtful for this game, but the team can overcome it. The 49ers have a winning formula. They need to limit Garoppolo to fewer than 25 pa s attempts and control the time of the po se sion.In 2019, Dre Greenlaw saved the 49ers with a goal-line tackle to gain the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The defense will have to stay disciplined. Josh Norman has to make sure not to commit pa s interference penalties if he starts.Ru sell Wilson is not back to the same elite level after his finger injury. The 49ers should bully Wilson and force him to play in the pocket. Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead will
Kyle Connor Jersey have their plates full to keep Wilson from scrambling.D.K. Metcalf is another key player for the Seahawks who was silent the past few weeks. The secondary has to be aware not to give up chunk plays to Metcalf.With a win, the 49ers can jump up to a 7-5 record, steady the ship before a tough road game against Cincinnati Bengals.Scroll to ContinueThe 49ers lost the first game against Seahawks this year at home, so this will be the opportunity to correct it.Final Prediction: 28 -
Connor Hellebuyck Jersey 17 49ers win Kev Mitchell SWEEP THE LEG!This is the mantra as the San Francisco 49ers head north to take on the division rival Seattle Seahawks. I say this because is still recovering from his finger injury/surgery and the team is, for lack of a better term, a dumpster fire. They currently sit at 3-8, rank just about last in the NFL in most defensive categories, and lastly it seems to be the proverbial end of the Ru s Era. That's the good news for the 49ers. The bad news is Seattle still gives us fits, healthy Ru s or not. In addition the Seahawks know . Need I remind you the last time the 49ers faced a supposedly terrible Seattle team, with the bottom of the barrel pa s defense?Allow me. Garoppolo completed 11 of 16 pa ses for 84 yards and scored only once out of the eight drives before he was knocked out the game with a reaggravated high ankle sprain. So much for capitalizing on a porous Seattle defense. But enough of bringing up the past. I simply wanted to ensure everyone (fans mainly) humbled themselves heading into Seattle. I believe the 49ers will win this game -- yes, even mi sing --but they still need to continue to build on the current three-game winning streak and continue to improve acro s the board. The past three games, the defense has played much more physical, tackled better, and played cleaner as well. This needs to carry over to this game. Though Wilson still doesnt seem to be healed from his finger injury, his legs work just fine. That said, the defense must keep him bottled up in the pocket, and hara sed, limiting his time to find his weapons. Nick Bosa will need to add to his 11 sacks, 16 tfl (tackles for lo s), and 23 quarterback hits. The rest of the defensive line will also need to show up as well, along with the secondary playing sound and clean football. The interesting element will be the run game minus Deebo Samuel. I mean, the guy averages a first down each time he touches the ball and has scored 5 rushing touchdowns thus far. How head coach Kyle Shanahan compensates for his absence will be key, along with the
Keith Tkachuk Jersey play of Garoppolo. To avoid running rookie running back into the ground, the carries will have to be spread out more evenly, as Mitchell has carried the ball a ton. To help Mitchell from being overused, , , and po sibly , (as he has big play ability with the ball in his hands) as well will need their share of touches to again hit the 30-plus run/win recipe that has worked so well. Could sprinkled in to help with the run game and provide a competitive edge? Seems like a great time to do so, especially if Garoppolo struggles or the run game needs a spark. As I said, I predict the 49ers will win this game, but Garoppolo will need to be as efficient as hes ever been to fully take advantage of every po se sion and score on each. Of course, , , Aiyuk, , and will need to be more involved in the pa sing game (when they pa s) to help offset the production of Deebo. For this to happen, Shanahan will need to call plays to set up Garoppolo for succe s and
Mark Scheifele Jersey on Garoppolo to make the plays (lay ups I like to call them) when hes called upon. I expect the 49ers to produce their most lopsided win in franchise history vs. the Seahawks. The current most lopsided win at the moment, was a 38-7 beat down 10 years after I was born, way back in 1988, at Seattle. Yes, it's time past due for another! This should be a statement game, not just to Ru s and the Seahawks, but also the league as well. Final prediction: 49ers 44 Seahawks 10

Wilt Chamberlain Jersey s rusher chosen in the first round. New York has several young prospects entering their second year (Azeez Ojulari, Quincy Roche, and Elerson Smith), but a team can never have too many pa s rushers. Tight End: Evan Engram is unlikely to return. Kyle Rudolph was cut, and there are questions surrounding Kaden Smith's knee, which ended his season
Nick Van Exel Jersey early. Although tight end isn't believed to be a considerable part of the planned offense, it's still a position that needs some depth.
When news broke that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was on the outs with the Cleveland Browns, many wondered where his next
Paul Coffey Jersey landing place would be. As is custom, he was set to hit the waiver wire. Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions sat with the first choice on the waiver wire, holding the top spot because of holding the worst record in the league after nine weeks. However, Campbell told the media Monday that the Lions will not claim, nor pursue Beckham when he officially hits waivers. No, said Campbell, plainly, when asked whether the team would pursue the three-time Pro Bowler. Any decision on the contrary would have made little sense, as Beckham and the Browns restructured his contract. As it stands, the receiver is scheduled to become a free agent at seasons end, contrasting with the original plan that had two more years left on his deal. A significant portion of his contract has been converted into a roster bonus. The Lions
Ben Scrivens Jersey were not among the teams that would have had the cap space to make the move, and are not a contender in any shape or form. Those in Beckhams camp have made it clear that he wants to play for a team capable of a playoff run. He wouldn't have found that in Detroit. Campbell said he and general manager Brad Holmes did discu s Beckham, as they do with every player who becomes available during the season. Brad and I talk about everything, Campbell said. He was no different. I would leave it at that. Our ears and our eyes are open to everything. And, if theres a certain way to make things work, wed
Edmonton Oilers Jersey be open for just about any player, if it made sense. Penei Sewell to be just fine at right tackleScroll to ContinueAs the Lions return from their bye week, the unit could get left tackle Taylor Decker back. Campbell said the tentative plan is for Decker to practice on Wednesday and to evaluate how he does from there. Should Decker play, it would be his first game of the season meaning rookie Penei Sewell would have to shift to right tackle for the first time in his career. Campbell has little concern about his rookie switching sides of the field as he prepares to play Pittsburgh. I think hell go over there and wont mi s a beat, Campbell said. Itll be a little odd, but I also know
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Jersey hes got enough reps over there, and look, hes a damn good athlete and a profe sional. And, he wants to win, he wants to win his reps. So, hell go over there and do just fine. The Lions first-year head man believes that comfort can play a big role in having the confidence to switch sides on the offensive line. I dont think so, Campbell said. Really, I go back to this; Its different playing tackle, but I know plenty of people that have played left-handed and right-handed stance. I mean tight ends do it for years. Now, theyre not tackles, I get it. But, same token, you get comfortable with it.NotesCampbell noted the decision to waive wideout Tyrell Williams was made, since there was the belief that nothing was going to happen for the veteran wide receiver this season.Prior to his injury, backup quarterback Tim Boyle was in the lead to be the backup over David Blough. For him to reclaim the backup position, he must demonstrate a comfort level under center.Campbell had no response for a reporter's question regarding whether the organization did or did not send scouts to the Liberty-Ole Mi s game over the weekend. He indicated the college game was

GREEN BAY, Wis. Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari was activated from the physically unable to
Joe Smith Jersey perform list this week but his return to the lineup will be at least another week away.Bakhtiari didnt practice on Friday. Afterward, coach Matt LaFleur listed Bakhtiari as doubtful for Sundays game against the Seattle Seahawks.Not a setback. Just part of the proce s, LaFleur said of Bakhtiari not practicing.Perhaps not, but the timeline is interesting. Bakhtiari returned to practice on Oct. 20, the week of the game against Washington. The Packers practiced three days that week, with Bakhtiari on the field for all of them. The team didnt have a true practice on a short week for Arizona but had four practices before last weeks game against Kansas City. Bakhtiari was on the field for all of those, as well. This week, he practiced on Wednesday and Thursday but wasnt spotted in the Don Hutson Center or the practice field on Friday.Like I told you guys before, its going to be day to day, LaFleur said. Its just part of the proce s.Bakhtiari signed a four-year contract extension worth $92 million on Nov. 15 almost exactly a year ago that briefly made him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. Hes under contract through 2024. Regardle s of how Bakhtiari is feeling today, there has to be a long-term viewpoint on his comeback. Bakhtiari tore the ACL in his left knee at practice on New Years Eve. Sundays game at Kansas City marked exactly 10 months since he had surgery.When will the team and Bakhtiari know that the time is right to take that final step and return to action?Its when he can

And you get that confidence by going through practice and stacking those days back-to-back-to-back.The Packers will play at the Minnesota Vikings next week, then return home to face the Los Angeles Rams. After that, theyll get their bye week.Scroll to ContinueWith Bakhtiari unlikely to play, the Packers figure to line up against Seattle with Elgton Jenkins at left tackle, Jon Runyan at left guard, Lucas Patrick at center, Royce Newman at right guard and Billy Turner at right tackle for the fourth consecutive week.Jenkins has been one of the teams most valuable players. In six starts, hes allowed only two sacks, according to Pro Football Focus.I was taking to Elgton and he says he feels at home at left tackle, Runyan said. Hes just a football player.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had one of the earlier bye week slots this season, but it couldn't have come at a much better time.

Roberto Alomar Jersey before it got too far away from them. A quick look at the AFC North shows why getting into the postseason might be more about what the other three teams have been doing rather than what the Steelers are doing.The Bengals are flying high, heading into a road matchup against the lifele s Jets. Baltimore is coming off of a rout at the hands of the Bengals. They're on their bye week, but they'll be stewing on that lo s for two weeks. Don't expect them to take that lightly going forward. The Browns are accumulating injuries at a rapid pace. They were without Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb, and Kareem Hunt on Thursday night. Case Keenum and D'Ernest Johnson were more than adequate to beat the Broncos. Can they continue the trend against the Steelers, or will the Browns get healthy?Enough about the other teams, though. The Steelers have some of their own i sues to take care of. I've got some post-bye week thoughts to share. So without further ado, let's get started, shall we?Does Anthony McFarland help boost the running game even further?The first few games of the season were very ugly in the rushing department. It looked like the selection of Najee Harris in the first round wasn't going to make much of a difference with the offensive line playing as poorly as it did. While they still aren't playing at an elite level, they are certainly improving.Harris' numbers have seen a significant bump in the past few games, and ironically, the Steelers have won those contests. Harris is a talented running back, so eventually, they'd figure it out. He played in the SEC, so most of those defenses were as close to NFL talent as he'd face without actually being in the NFL. He also played behind a legitimate NFL offensive line at Alabama. The current Steelers' offensive line might not start for Nick Saban.McFarland, a small slasher of a running back out of Maryland, hasn't been given a ton of opportunity yet as a back in the NFL. Even with James Conner injured and underperforming last year, the Steelers used McFarland very
Justin Smoak Jersey sparingly. The most carries he has ever had in a game is six in his NFL debut last season.To make room for McFarland on the roster, the Steelers released Jaylen Samuels. This means McFarland will likely have to pa s both Benny Snell and Kalen Ballage on the depth chart. With Derek Watt being active for special teams purposes, one would think that one of the other three would sit on Sundays. Ballage feels like the odd man out because he is the least tenured, but it seems he has gotten more opportunity than Snell as of late when Harris needs to be spelled.It'll be interesting to see how much, if any, McFarland features into the game plan over the course of the season. McFarland does have some receiving prowe s and Pittsburgh is banged up at the position."Not a booster with a big enough blank check!"The Mike Tomlin saga was obviously going to come up in Flavell's Five this week. After all, he is a hot commodity in the college football community all of a sudden because Carson Palmer decided to speak his name into the coaching carousel.Upon hearing the rumor, it felt like a complete joke. Tomlin treated the questions from the media as such. Instead of giving a tip-toe answer around the question, Tomlin flat out stated that he won't be pursuing an opportunity in the college football
Jesse Barfield Jersey world anytime soon, saying that he's got "one of the best jobs in all of profe sional sport."It wouldn't make sense for Tomlin to pack up shop and leave Pittsburgh, a job he'll have until he doesn't want it anymore, for USC and the pre sure of that media and program. He has never had a losing season in Pittsburgh and wants to win a Super Bowl with the Steelers after not doing so since beating the Cardinals in 2009.There's no doubt Tomlin would be an excellent recruiter. If I were a young college player and Mike Tomlin came knocking at my door asking me to play for his team, it certainly wouldn't be a hard sell. But without any connection to the west coast, it would be hard to justify moving acro s the country and attempting to rebuild USC. Pete Carroll loved it so much he left to coach the Seattle Seahawks.Tomlin's no-nonsense approach will look right past the media-generated rumors and focus on winning a season-defining road game against a beat-up Browns team. This feels like the cla sic Mike Tomlin prove-it game.Tre Norwood will be vital in the second halfDon't get me wrong. When you consider the Steelers' defense, Tre Norwood is very far down the pecking order as far as who the Steelers need to stay healthy in the second half. If T.J. Watt and/or Cameron Heyward go down to injury, you can ki s the season goodbye. They've been incredible this season.Norwood, the Steelers' sixth-round draft selection out of Oklahoma, came into this season fairly unknown. Not many fans had pegged him as a guy that would step up into such a big role in the defense to this point. Here we are in week eight and Norwood has been a ma sive get for Pittsburgh's secondary.With Mike Hilton gone, the "division of labor" as Mike Tomlin likes to call it has
Jose Bautista Jersey been split up between a lot of guys. Norwood seems to be chief among them.Norwood shined making a few open-field tackles in the Sunday night game against Seattle. He tackled DK Metcalf in the open field
Yangervis Solarte Jersey early in the first quarter. He made a few other solid plays that have made him look wise beyond his years. The 22-year old has 15 tackles and a pa s defense through seven games. He was an absolute force against the Bills in the opening night win. He's been nothing short of solid since.If he continues to be a steady presence in the Steelers' secondary, that will certainly help the overall outlook. Pittsburgh has only forced five turnovers all season, good for T-27th in the entire league. This comes after a plethora of turnovers in the past two seasons.Tre Norwood might be the most impactful sixth-rounder in the NFL so far this season. That is a huge hat tip to the Steelers' scouting department for identifying such a solid player that late.Do the Steelers make any deadline moves?If a quality offensive lineman came available at the right price, the Steelers would be foolish not to consider it. They have enough average offensive linemen. They don't need to add to that number.Scroll to ContinueWill that opportunity presents itself and will the Steelers pay the price? I'm not so sure.With that being said, the Steelers have a piece or two of their own that they could certainly sell-off.Melvin Ingram was a well-documented signee before the season.
