‘Oliver is dealing with an ankle injury he suffered in Thursday night’s 31–10 win over the Los Angeles Rams. As for Settle, he was also injured in the game, but his injury is undisclosed at this time.’

Isaiah McKenzie: “This offense is special”
‘“I would say I’ve grown tremendously whether it’s running routes, catching the football, learning defenses learning the plays on offense. I feel like every year I’ve gotten better with my game.” McKenzie said.’
Bills kickoff 2022 season in style winning 31-10 over Super Bowl Champs
‘The offensive problems for Los Angeles continued as the fourth quarter went on when Jordan Poyer picked off a pass by Stafford that was intended for Cooper Kupp. Allen and the Bills capitalized once again. This time Allen showed off his arm hurling an 53-yard pass to Stefon Diggs for the Bills third touchdown of the game. Tyler Bass made his third extra point attempt giving the Bills the 31-10 lead.’
Listen: McDermott: We knew coming in we had to be efficient offensively
‘”It’s just about one game. We came together in the second half and played good complimentary football.”‘
Listen: Allen: I play hard, I wanna win games no matter how I can do it
‘”Just trying to be smart with the football. Allowing our guys to catch and run.” Allen also said, “I had a couple plays that I wish I had back tonight, I think every game you’re gonna have those, but just allowing our guys to catch the ball in space and make some plays for us.”‘
Opinion: Bills toyed with defending Super Bowl champions
‘Josh Allen and the offense toyed with a Rams defense that should still be good despite losing Von Miller to the Bills in free agency. Miller and the Bills defense shut down the Rams offense and the pass rush was unstoppable. You couldn’t write a much better script.’
Opinion: Anxiety? What anxiety?
‘No offense to Howard, but apparently all I needed was to watch Josh Allen and the Bills offense march right down the field on the season opening drive, capped by a brilliant Ken Dorsey play call for an Allen to Gabriel Davis TD. Just like that, all the anxiety left my body.’
Opinion: Bills grades: Week 1 at Rams
‘If they want to succeed more in the run game, they don’t need to run it more, they need to run it better. That remains the case here. Allen and Singletary save this group tonight.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Rams
‘And if it weren’t for self-inflicted mistakes, the score would’ve been even much more lopsided than the 31-10 outcome everyone saw.’
Rookie cornerbacks Elam, Benford ready for opener
‘“I’m taking it one day at a time, where I’m locked in and focusing on my technique and fundamentals,” said Elam leading up to Thursday’s game in Los Angeles.’
Bills sign Dawson Knox to four-year contract extension
‘The Bills and Dawson Knox have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension that will tie him to Buffalo through the end of the 2026 season, the team announced on Wednesday.’
Opinion: Bills at Rams: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘We’ve heard a lot of good things about how things have gone at camp between him and quarterback Josh Allen and the rest of the unit. Allen has certainly given Dorsey his endorsement, but none of that really matters until it gets real, which is does Thursday night.’
Listen: McDermott: Thursday is just ‘Game 1 of 17’
‘The idea of keeping things in perspective is certainly something McDermott has learned to do over his five years as head coach of the Bills. Since he has taken the helm, his teams have gone 3-2 in Week 1 matchups, with all three wins coming against the New York Jets.’
Dawson Knox thankful for support from Buffalo community
‘“I wanted to thank everybody. I’ve really felt a lot of love and support the last few weeks with my brother,” said Knox on Monday. “My family’s been very thankful, and just everybody in Buffalo have been incredible. The amount of texts I’ve gotten, the messages, the posts, the moment of silence for the preseason game. It’s just been everything that I’ve expected out of Buffalo and more, because this city’s incredible. It’s meant the world to me, and I think they raised over $200,000 for the P.U.N.T. Foundation in my brother’s name. It’s really mind blowing the support that I’ve had, so it’s just an absolute blessing.’
Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey is really looking forward to the challenges the Rams present
‘This is Dorsey’s first season as offensive coordinator and the Rams are defending Super Bowl Champions and he said there aren’t too many secrets on that side of the ball either, “They’re incredibly talented all over the board and he’s (Aaron Donald) one of the best players in football. They pose a lot of different problems, not only personnel wise, but scheme, so it’s not only trying to slow him down, but that front is a very talented group.”’
