‘“The guy’s been balling,” safety Jordan Poyer said of Phillips. “It’s hard to keep him off the field. He brings a lot of energy to our team, brings a lot of juice to our team. … He’s a great player. He’s going to continue to play well for us.”’

Isaiah McKenzie’s jet-sweep action made big impact vs. Redskins
‘McKenzie was part of pre-snap, jet-sweep motion on 23 of the Bills’ 61 plays. He got the ball only twice on those plays, but the 23 plays netted 148 yards, an average of 6.4 a play.’
Taron Johnson was unsung hero with late plays vs. Redskins
‘The second-year nickel cornerback made two strong plays in the fourth quarter with the Bills clinging to a 17-9 lead and the Redskins marching at the Bills’ 46-yard line.’
Efficiency by Josh Allen is hallmark of Bills’ victory
‘Oftentimes running plays are paired or tagged with an “alert” passing concept that would allow Allen to check out of a run if the defense had more defenders than the offense could account for. Allen was dead-on as the Bills ran Singletary on four of the first eight plays of the opening scoring drive.’
Chris Myers’ weather crack wasn’t the only mistake to leave Bills fans cold
‘Myers had a worse first half than the Bills defensive line against Washington back Adrian Peterson.’
Buffalo Bills midseason report: They’re 6-2 and better, but still have room for improvement
‘More than anything, I sought to gain a little perspective on where the Buffalo Bills are now as opposed to 365 days prior. I wanted to remind myself that while the Bills can be a maddening team to watch, especially when they have the ball, they are four games better in the standings, and that’s nothing to scoff at.’
Bills’ Singletary, Oliver headed in opposite directions
‘The 6-1, 287-pound defensive tackle, taken with the ninth overall pick, has been pretty much invisible even as coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier have touted his “disruptive” presence and how well he gets along with his teammates. The numbers contradict his alleged impact.’
Should Buffalo Bills’ decision to start Jordan Phillips over Ed Oliver be concerning?
‘The truth is Oliver was facing average talent at the college level and the Bills (6-2) knew there might be a learning curve as he started going up against NFL-level talent.’
Buffalo Bills Monday: Is John Brown a No. 1 receiver? Numbers don’t lie
‘How good is Brown this season? He has as many catches at future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald, a former teammate of Brown’s in Arizona. He has more catches and yards than Odell Beckham Jr. He has 10 20-plus yard receiving plays — as many as Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper and Marvin Jones Jr.’
Buffalo Bills Remain Work In Progress Despite 6-2 Start
‘Though Buffalo is projected to have $24 million in salary cap space still available this season, some of that money must be kept in reserve to re-sign players, such as star cornerback Tre’Davious White. And it’s a much better position than the Bills were in when their payroll was skewed by high-priced contracts handed out to underachieving players under previous regimes.’
At Buffalo Bills’ Halfway Mark, Some Evidence That Josh Allen Is Getting Better
‘Allen’s performance, more than that of any other player, will determine how far the Bills go this year. Much is expected of the sophomore QB, who is still only 23 and has started only 20 games (11-9). We have to remind ourselves of those facts before we drill down too deep.’
Bills midseason awards
‘While CB Tre’Davious White and S Micha Hyde have been equally as important, S Jordan Poyer has been the glue to this defensive unit.’
