Buffalo Bills hold on for 14-9 win over Giants

‘A massive fight near the end of the 3rd quarter summed up a night that’s been slow due to penalties, injuries, and tensions being high. But regardless, the Bills cashed in to open the 4th quarter, taking their first lead of the game.’

Bills 14, Giants 9 | Final score, game Highlights, stats to know

‘It took all of 60 minutes for the Buffalo Bills to grind out a gritty 14-9 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football in front of a full house at Highmark Stadium. Holding onto a five-point lead, the defense survived a 90-second potential game-winning drive after a pass interference called against Terrel Bernard gave the Giants a shot at the end zone from the one-yard line with zeros on the clock.’

‘”Great, I mean, he’s been working his tail off,” Allen said on how it felt to see Harty find the end zone for the first time this season. “He’s a guy that doesn’t complain. He works extremely hard in practice. He’s made some really big plays for us in the last couple games that have helped us out quite a bit. So as the year goes on, we got to find more ways to utilize him and his talent.”‘

Bills announce injury update on Damien Harris

‘The injury occurred late in the second quarter as Harris took a handoff up the middle and was met by Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke. Players from both teams signaled for the Bills training staff to aid Harris immediately after the play.’

Middle man: Changing faces on Bills’ defense amplifies role for middle linebacker Terrel Bernard

‘Bernard’s preparation has been on display through five games. He has not merely ably replaced Tremaine Edmunds at middle linebacker, he’s made Edmunds a semi-afterthought. Bernard has been that sound in directing pre-snap traffic and that consistent in producing post-snap. He leads the Bills’ defense in snaps played (288 of a possible 301) and tackles (45, which is tied for 14th in the NFL through five weeks).’

Bills Mailbag: Why hasn’t Dalton Kincaid had a bigger role on the offense?

‘Here is what Ken Dorsey said in part about that topic this week: “Dalton’s really kind of grown into a player that we can definitely move around, do some different things with. Very good route runner, good feel for the game. I think it’s something that we need to continue to grow, need to continue to make sure that he’s a big part of this offense and continue to grow that.” Dorsey went on for another 100 words or so, but you get the point. Translated, he’s saying the Bills need to get Kincaid the ball more. To your point, Bob, it would be nice if that would happen down the field. Kincaid’s average depth of target, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats, is 3.9 yards. Of 115 players who have been targeted at least 15 times this season, that ranks tied for sixth in terms of the shortest distance down field. Of Kincaid’s 17 catches, only four of them have produced a first down. So he’s not stretching the field and he’s not moving the sticks at the moment.’
