A few weeks earlier, a federal judge ruled that five of the eleven original plaintiffs could take their injury claims to trial, which led to a deal being reached.Under the terms of the agreements, the city admits no fault, and lead plaintiff Michael Acosta, who lost his left eye, will receive $2.9 million, while four other claimants will share $450,000.“I’m glad the lawsuit has been resolved, but no amount of money could ever return to me what has been taken,” Acosta...

(AP) — The many assurances Bills quarterback Josh Allen provided in April and repeated throughout the summer over how he was placing an emphasis on cutting down on turnovers suddenly seem like empty promises entering Week 2 of the season.There, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, an emotionally drained Allen sat at the podium having to explain how his four-turnover outing ultimately cost Buffalo in a 22-16 overtime loss to the New York Jets.“Trying to force the ball. “Same (stuff), same place, different day,” the player who graces this year’s Madden video game cover said glumly, spiking his words with a profanity. “I can’t. I hurt our team tonight.”This was hardly the first time Allen has been required to explain himself in front of cameras following an error-filled performance.And it may not be the last for someone who is just as capable of throwing three or more touchdowns — he’s 19-1 when he does that — as he is committing two or more turnovers (9-12) in an ...
