Ken Dorsey Watch: Bills mixed personnel a ton to keep Miami off balance
‘While the three-receiver group (11 personnel) saw the most snaps, the Bills varied their personnel a lot vs. Miami and were very effective powering up with bigger personnel.

We knew exactly what we wanted to do. exactly how we were going to do it, the communication that needed to be had and we worked on it all week and felt very confident coming into the game.”’

‘”We’re going to do our best to support Tre and his family,” McDermott said. “I had a chance to visit with him yesterday after the game and just obviously, it was not an easy time and it isn’t going to be an easy time for him right now, and he’s got a challenge in front of him, but he’s overcome challenges before and I’m confident that he will overcome this challenge as well and that’s what Tre White does.”‘
