Joe B: 7 observations from Buffalo Bills - Minnesota Vikings (9/23/18)

 

MINNEAPOLIS (WKBW) - The Buffalo Bills traveled to Minnesota and did just what no one expected them to. Up against a more talented roster in the Vikings in a daunting road stadium, all the Bills did was dominate from start to finish.
 
The Bills claimed their first victory of the season, a 27-6 road win, and changed the short-term scope of the conversation about them in the meantime. Through the first three weeks, head coach Sean McDermott has been consistent with saying that it's still early and they are looking to grow their roster this season.
 
Well, the team jumped up a year or two in their adolescent development with a win over a tough team on the road, in the hopes that this is a win they can look back on as a building block heading into 2019 and 2020.
How did it all unfold? Seven observations from the Bills' win:
 
1) Allen takes a notable step forward
2) Hughes, the pass rush, dominates
3) Milano should not leave the field
4) White is entering a new realm at CB
5) When is enough, enough with Benjamin?
6) Daboll deserves a lot of credit
7) The offensive line, too
 
Bills MVP: Jerry Hughes
- Josh Allen came close with his three touchdowns, but Hughes looked like his feet were dancing on fire ants, and the only relief was getting to the quarterback. He wrecked the Vikings and left tackle Riley Reiff.
 
Bills LVP: Kelvin Benjamin
- The top receiver on the Bills roster was anything but, and another measly performance calls into question what his role should be if it continues.
