4 Observations: Bills beat Panthers 31-14
‘A rookie’s rough game. Spencer Brown will want to forget Sunday as quickly as possible. The 23-year-old offensive lineman was flagged 5 times(4 upheld) including a personal foul that got him benched for a few plays in the 2nd half. “That was me being an idiot and hurting my team,” Brown said after the game.

His 1st NFL start at left tackle came against one of the best passing rushing defensive lines in the NFL. It wasn’t an ideal situation for Brown or the Bills but there will be better days to come.’
