Bills Offense Cruises in Low Gear to Win in Miami
‘But two games in for Buffalo (1-1), its offense — even with its five touchdowns Sunday — does not quite resemble the unit that last season passed for loads of yards and scored loads of points and, generally, rampaged up and down the field, smashing records and elevating quarterback Josh Allen into most valuable player contention.’

Buffalo Bills strike fast with 46-yard touchdown run by Devin Singletary against Miami
‘After an incomplete pass on first down, quarterback Josh Allen handed off to running back Devin Singletary. With the help of a big hole from the offensive line, Singletary burst up the field for a 46-yard touchdown. The run was the second-longest of his career, behind a 51-yard touchdown run against the Denver Broncos last season.’
Bills blank Dolphins 35-0
‘On the defensive side of the football, the Bills gave Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa fits early on in this affair. Miami was unable to generate any momentum on offense, and while trying to get a pass off Tagovailoa took a massive hit from Buffalo’s AJ Epenesa that forced the second-year signal-caller to be carted off the field.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Dolphins
‘For an overall performance, Allen does not deserve an Arrow Down. He made some dynamic plays and throws and led the offense to 35 points. It was not a bad game for him. However, he still seemed a bit off as far as accuracy and timing with some of his receivers which resulted in him completing only 17 of 33 passes for a completion percentage of a too low 51.5%.’
