What’s behind Bills’ incredible turnaround on defense?
‘You’ve been doing this a long time, it’s such a long season and there are so many ups and downs over the course of a season. I don’t know if I could point to one thing, I just know that it’s a long season, and where we are today, you just want to keep building on where we are. Just keep building and improving; that’s the goal.’
The Bills are wasting one of the league’s best defenses
‘The Bills defense now ranks seventh in the league in defensive efficiency or DVOA (defensive-adjusted value or average).

4 observations from Bills-Texans and Week 6 in the NFL
‘They might be the two oldest players on the roster, but Lorenzo Alexander and Kyle Williams were critical components in what was a dominant defensive effort up front.’
Bills Today: Kyle Williams stellar in Week 6 outing
‘“Yeah I thought the defensive line got pressure on the quarterback with the front four, which is good, especially (in the) second, third, fourth quarter,” McDermott said. “That goal-line stand; that game could have maybe been sealed at that point. But to have the ball at the one (yard line) and for them to go backwards, Matt Milano made a huge play at the end there. You know, I thought the defense continues to improve and grow. We’ve got to make sure those other two phases continue to grow and develop, at critical positions in particular.”’
Vic Carucci: Inept offense wastes dominant showing by Bills’ defense
‘Alexander and Williams had played some of the best football of their lives. Yet, they fixated on the fact the Bills couldn’t prevent an 84-yard field-goal drive that tied the game at 13-13 with 1:34 remaining, on how close they had come to getting a crucial turnover when Jerry Hughes forced Deshaun Watson to fumble with just less than three minutes left only to have the Texans recover.’
Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin denies report he refused to ‘work on routes’ with Josh Allen
‘“Josh goes in pretty early (compared to) all the rest of the players, to come in and do his routine,” Benjamin said. “Right before I guess he was about to go in, he asked me, he’s like, ‘Do you need anything?’ And I was like, ‘No, I’m good.’ And then he ended up leaving and then I ended up leaving, but I guess she put the tweet out thinking like this was a big break, you know? I mean, you put stories out there like that and, you know, Twitter pages start to get followers.”’
Jason Wolf: Peterman’s historically terrible play still haunts Bills
‘Peterman keeps showing up – which is more than you can say about Vontae Davis – because no one in a position of authority has told him to stop.’
Observations: Tre’Davious White sounds off about DeAndre Hopkins after Bills’ loss
‘“Obviously, we didn’t do enough if we didn’t win,” White said. “So, I mean, the only thing we can do is go back to the drawing board, continue to play defense like we’ve been playing, continue to take the ball away and getting our team in a great position to win ball games.”’
