‘Buffalo’s speedy start to Thursday’s win came as a result of an up-tempo style of offense employed throughout the course of the game, but particularly early on Buffalo’s first drive, which resulted in a 37-yard field goal from kicker Tyler Bass. Bass’ kick provided Buffalo a 3-0 lead with 8:04 remaining in the first quarter and came after an extensive 10-play drive that traveled 77 yards in 3:41. Although they failed to finish the possession in the end zone, the Bills’ game plan on the first drive set the stage for a torrid performance from the Buffalo passing game.’

Josh Allen’s audible ignites NFL debate: Did he say Taylor Swift or J.R. Smith?

He had been listed on the Bills’ report with a right shoulder injury and was checked in the blue medical tent in the second quarter, but remained in the game.’

Bills place TE Dawson Knox on IR after his wrist surgery
‘Knox, who had surgery on his wrist on Tuesday, will miss at least four games with the injury after coach Sean McDermott said earlier this week that the Bills did not have a clear timeline yet for his return. The tight end initially injured his right wrist in the team’s Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.’
