Sean McDermott: Third-down defense a point of emphasis for Bills following Miami game
‘“Those are situations that the defense – you want to be a good defense? You shut them down right there,” McDermott said. “And the drive goes no further. Last night, we had an opportunity to blitz, free runner. They make a play, right? So, we can learn from that. We can learn from when we get from the rush and coverage piece working better together. So, there’s a lot we can take from that set of plays last night.”’
Buffalo Bills OC explains lack of deep passes against Miami Dolphins
‘“(The Dolphins) do a unique job of (playing) a bunch of versions of split safety–showing, and then dropping out, getting a lot of depth,” Brady explained. “(They’re) Trying to put an umbrella to the defense. And that’s not to say that there’s not plays out there that are to be had in those situations.”’
James Cook proving Bills were right to dish out a hefty extension by becoming a top-tier running back
‘Cook followed a 132-yard, two-touchdown Week 2 performance against the New York Jets with 108 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s 31-21 win over the Miami Dolphins. And Cook has logged 100 yards from scrimmage in all three games this season, to go along with his four touchdown runs.’
Tale of the tape: Dolphins put Bills’ rush and coverage in a bind until Terrel Bernard’s interception

But the Bills frequently won early downs Thursday, limiting the Dolphins to 3.4 yards on first down, only for someone to break open on third down.’

Bills running back James Cook is already validating his new contract 3 weeks into the season
‘Though the five-time defending AFC East champion Bills are unquestionably Josh Allen’s team, the fourth-year running back has played a critical role in an offense that’s averaging 420 yards and has topped 30 points in each outing.’
Josh Allen’s Perfectly O.K. Game vs. Dolphins Inspires Wild Claim From Mike Greenberg
‘”I’m mad at myself that we spent nine minutes and 17 seconds and I didn’t say this yet,” said Greenberg. “I’ve been watching this sport 50 years. I’m just fan. I’m just a reporter. Whatever the case is. No one has ever played that position better than Josh Allen plays it. He’s not the greatest player ever. You tell me who played the position better than he plays it.’
Mike Greenberg’s wild Josh Allen take is the GOAT of NFL overreactions after Bills’ Week 3 win
‘”I’m mad at myself that we spent nine minutes and 17 seconds and I didn’t say this yet. I’ve been watching this sport 50 years. I’m just a fan, just a reporter, whatever the case is. No one has ever played that position better than Josh Allen plays it. He’s not the greatest player ever. You tell me who plays the position better than he plays it. You can’t be better than Josh Allen. Josh Allen does everything. His command of what he’s doing in the game right now is ridiculous. He just hasn’t won anything. If he had won anything, we’d be talking about him with literally the best quarterbacks that have ever played.”‘

‘1987 — Bills 34, Oilers 30 — Two days before the player strike that would alter the ’87 season, Jim Kelly engineered a fourth quarter comeback for the first time in his NFL career. Leading three touchdown drives in the final nine minutes, Kelly found Ronnie Harman for the winning score with 57 seconds left.

Attendance at Rich Stadium was 56,534, down closer to 20,000 from the opener.’
Joe Theismann predicts Bills Super Bowl run at Rochester event
‘”I think the Bills are finally going to get over the hump this year,” he said. “First time I’ve ever made this prediction, first time this year, I think the Bills will win the world championship this year. I’m on record now, of saying I think the Buffalo Bills have the opportunity, and i believe will do that.”‘
LB Matt Milano not placed on IR, RB James Cook nears Bills history and DT Deone Walker’s improvement
‘A roster decision perhaps flew under the radar prior to Buffalo’s home tilt against the Dolphins. The Bills elected to not place linebacker Matt Milano on injured reserve prior to Thursday’s deadline before the game. That’s a positive sign as had the team felt his absence would be long term, an IR designation likely would’ve taken place to open up a roster spot.’
