‘”One of the biggest challenges is just ability. They have the ability to go left or right, see down the field and make throws that not many people in the league can make,” longtime New England Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty said. “I think the second part of that is that they’re both mobile enough to really hurt you. We saw that when they played against each other. It wasn’t fun as a defensive player [to watch], but it was also cool to see their greatness show in the back and forth because it was those two guys making plays.”‘

‘”And I don’t ever want to take the passion out of the game, we’re all in this to win football games obviously for the Bills, for our fans, and we’re going to give them everything we got, but it’s something I’m gonna learn from and make sure let’s correct moving forward.”‘

‘With the Bills’ final drive falling short as time expired after quarterback Josh Allen passed to Isaiah McKenzie, when the wide receiver appeared to have time to get out of bounds to stop the clock, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey was shown on the CBS broadcast reacting in frustration, slamming his headset, hat and tablet into the desk and crumpling the papers around him. Allen also slammed his helmet to the ground in frustration after the 21-19 loss.’

‘Earlier Saturday, Hyde’s agent, Jack Bechta, wrote on Twitter that a healthy return in 2023 is expected for Hyde, who is under contract with the Bills through next season.’

‘If the Bills’ season-opening win was a statement, the home-opener performance against the Titans put an exclamation point on an outstanding start. The Josh Allen-Stefon Diggs connection is a large part of it as the quarterback and wide receiver are off to an historic start.’

‘”Teams are drafting these young quarterbacks and they want to see them play early,” Frazier told ESPN. “They have the impression that you have to have an offensive coach, former coordinator usually, to kind of guide that young quarterback.”‘
