Analysis: Bills' offensive line turns in encouraging night vs. Packers
‘The linemen helped the Bills running backs rush 19 times for 102 yards, a 5.4-yard average. And the line did a respectable job pass blocking against a Green Bay front that entered the game ranked 10th in the NFL in sacks and fourth in ESPN’s pass rush win rate metric.’
Ken Dorsey Watch: Bills vs. Packers
‘Green Bay’s defense entered the game struggling against 21 personnel. While the Bills didn’t use the two-back set much, they did put bigger personnel on the field on 15 plays. Buffalo likely figured the Packers weren’t going to put a third linebacker on the field, even when the Bills went to bigger personnel, out of fear for Josh Allen’s passing. The Bills are powering up with an extra offensive lineman about the same amount as they did last year. They’ve done it on 28 plays this season, according to Buffalo News charting, and have run 19 times for 57 yards (a 5.7-yard average) with a sixth lineman.’
Tim Settle relieved to get first sack since joining the Bills
‘On the Packers’ first drive, Settle sacked quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a loss of seven, bringing up third-and-15. The Packers would punt two plays later. It was a solid start to the game for Settle, who had his best game yet with Buffalo.’

Potential targets for Bills as NFL trade deadline nears: What they could bring to the team
‘Running back is an interesting area to be exploring for Beane. Devin Singletary has been a good soldier since he arrived as a third-round pick in 2019, and he has given the Bills pretty consistent performance. However, two things have never changed with Singletary: He lacks that ability to grind out tough yards in short yardage situations behind an offensive line that doesn’t often succeed in that area, and he also falls short when it comes to explosive plays. His longest career run is 51 yards back in 2020.’
Road game vs. improving AFC East rival Jets up next for Buffalo Bills: Here's what to know
‘As for the Jets, they have to be kicking themselves after losing to the Patriots thanks to a litany of huge mistakes including a game-changing roughing the passer penalty on John Franklin-Myers at the end of the first half. It wiped out an 84-yard pick-six by cornerback Michael Carter, and instead of being up 17-3, the Jets allowed a field goal which cut their lead to 10-6.’
Allen, McDermott not satisfied despite beating Packers
‘They scored just 3 points in the second half, and the quarterback, Josh Allen, who does so many things well, made two really boneheaded decisions, throwing two interceptions in the second half when they could have put the game away.’
Sullivan: Simply winning no longer meets Bills' high standards
‘A 10-point win has become commonplace for this team, a yawner. Of the Bills’ last 24 wins in the regular-season, 22 have been by double-digits. They lead the NFL in point differential at plus-105. Going back to the start of the 2021 season, it’s a staggering plus-299, by far the best in the league over that time.’
Sabato: Devin Singletary shows why the Bills don't need to trade for a running back
‘Time after time, Devin Singletary has proven he’s adequate enough to be Buffalo’s featured back when given the opportunity. and two days before the NFL trade deadline, Singletary ran for 67 yards and accounted for 83 total yards in the Bills’ 27-17 win over the Packers.’

Opinion: Ho-hum, nothing to see here
‘A 24-7 halftime lead had the Orchard Park party peaking until a neighbor called the cops. The cops, in this case, being the Green Bay Packers, who decided the only way to not end up as roadkill was to hold onto the ball tightly and for extended periods of time.’
