Christian Benford said yesterday that he actually messed up his technique on a play that became a 63-yard pick six.

What did DC Bobby Babich make of the mistake? "Production over technique," he said with a smirk.

Here's more on Benford:

Twenty-five years ago, a pre-Thanksgiving snowstorm snarled Western New York, trapping many Buffalonians overnight in their schools and places of business. Check out all of our coverage and photos of the November storm of 2000 here.
State of emergency: Looking back at the November storm of 2000
At 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 20, 2000, snow began to fall in downtown Buffalo. Though skies were dark, snow was intermittent before intensifying after noon. By the next morning, 24.9 inches had fallen.

One could follow the beef on weck rabbit hole for a very long time. I followed it for a bit. Here’s my story on the (ancient, beloved, controversial) beef on weck’s current status in and out of Buffalo. buffalonews.com/life-enterta...
The beef on weck isn't the most popular food, but hey, it's ours. And it's growing. What makes it special?
Instead of joining the graveyard of extinct regional fare, the beef on weck became relevant again in a changing world. With nostalgia as its gimmick, it reminds Buffalonians of their past and reminds ...

Please see our statement about tonight's event at the Buffalo History Museum. Statement also here: buffaloguild.org/wp-content/u...
Buffalo History Museum event postponed after threats of violence made against Buffalo News editorial cartoonist and family 7.10.25 – The Buffalo Newspaper Guild and Buffalo History Museum are postponing a planned happy hour event this evening at the museum in light of serious concerns about public safety and direct threats that have warranted intervention by Buffalo police. The initial event, “Drawing Support for Local Journalism,” was planned more than a month ago to launch the Guild’s public “Protect Local Journalism” campaign at a museum exhibit highlighting the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Adam Zyglis, before the exhibit’s closing. The free, public and nonpartisan event was intended to promote a message about the need to protect this community by safeguarding a strong, local free press amid pressures being faced by news organizations across the country and here in Western New York. However, public criticism of an editorial cartoon about Texas flooding published Tuesday in The Buffalo News, and malicious campaigning for individuals to protest and confront Zyglis at this event, has resulted in a series of death threats against Zyglis and a deluge of other direct threats to hurt him and his family. We wholly condemn the individuals who have chosen to twist a positive, public event into an attempt to terrorize and silence Zyglis, spread fear among journalists and their supporters, and distort the mission of a free press. Zyglis is an opinion cartoonist who puts his name to every cartoon he draws. While his work is separate and independent from the work of newsroom reporters and editors at The Buffalo News, the Buffalo Newspaper Guild will not stand for physical threats of harm against him and his family. Those who stoop to such cowardly, disgraceful and anonymous acts must be held accountable. The threats made against Zyglis are being forwarded to law enforcement. Out of an abundance of caution and in the interests of public safety, however, we have decided to postpone the Buffalo History Museum happy hour event. It will be rescheduled. We thank the museum leadership and staff for graciously hosting this event and enduring the needless inconvenience recent events have placed upon them. The Buffalo News remains the largest news organization in Western New York. Its staff, including members of the Buffalo Newspaper Guild, are dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate information to the people who live and work here every day. The spiteful campaign to attack and harm Zyglis represents only one more example of the challenges we face as a community and the need to better communicate and support our vital, public role. We encourage everyone to speak out against these hateful and illegal intimidation tactics and to support the Guild’s greater mission, found at www.ProtectLocalJournalism.com.

Navigating the challenges of Duchenne is a constant battle, managed with many medical visits, infusions, daily muscle stretching & more.

But as Suneel told us, "Even if my goals in life are impossible, if people believe in me, I'm going to go for it."

Suneel Ram looks up as doctors ask questions about his breathing machine at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Mass., June 13, 2024. The visit to the Duchenne Program at UMass is an annual excursion for Ram and his mother Dr. Neera Gulati. They make the eight hour drive to run extensive physical tests on Ram to gauge the progression of his Duchenne and ensure he is getting the best care possible. (Libby March/Buffalo News) Suneel Ram and his mother, Dr. Neera Gulati, joke around together as Gulati adjusts a blanket around Suneel’s shoulders, visiting Oishei Children’s Hospital for Suneel’s twice-annual bone infusion in Buffalo, July 14, 2024. Suneel receives bone infusions every six months, receiving zoledronic acid, which helps strengthen his bones, and acetaminophen, through his port. (Libby March/Buffalo News) Suneel Ram motors up the van ramp, leaving a pizza shop after stopping for dinner with his mother Neera Gulati, and aide, David Rowe, before heading to their hotel in Worcester, Mass., June 11, 2024. They have driven over 400 miles from Williamsville, N.Y. to bring Suneel for an annual visit to the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Center at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester. Driving time, with stops, was almost eight hours. (Libby March/Buffalo News) Suneel Ram gazes up at galactic photographs seen at the planetarium inside the EcoTarium in Worcester, Mass., June 12, 2024. After eight hours of travel the day before and a full day of medical appointments in Worcester, Suneel was eager to make it to the planetarium show, which was not playing when they tried to see it during last year’s excursion to Worcester.
