Battered Bills defense harassed Mahomes in signature win, but can it hold up?
‘The Bills defense may have found a nastier attitude along the way, but the defining identity of this unit has a lot to do with its ability to handle one dose of adversity after another that can largely trace to injuries. To say you don’t know what you’ll get from week to week is not a knock. It’s fact. Buffalo (6-3) has fielded at least seven different starting lineup combinations on its defense this season, leaving McDermott and coordinator Bobby Babich to churn for answers.’

Bills' Joe Brady reacts to 'outstanding' Josh Allen in Chiefs win
‘“Sometimes you can see in pregame, sometimes you can see just early in the game by the ball placement or he’s seeing how he’s feeling,” Brady said. “Sometimes it’s after a hit, you might need to get him hit a little bit. Hopefully it’s not a sack and it’s a run. But I felt in the box, I think you can tell a little early where he was and had a good feel and pulse of how the game was being played and how they were going to play him. I thought he was outstanding.”’

Upon Further Review: Maxwell Hairston goes stride for stride with Chiefs, injecting Bills' defense with speed
‘“He brings a lot of energy and if you just go back to his journey when he was hurt, a couple down days, maybe, rightfully so, but his character also shone through in terms of getting himself mentally where he needed to be, doing what he could, even though he couldn’t do a lot and then just staying positive,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Sunday night of Hairston. “Positive energy goes a long way and I thought that the training staff did a great job of bringing him along the right way and getting him back, and then his work behind the scenes with our DB coaches and some of the veteran players as well that have helped him. That’s huge.”’

Bills look to reclaim AFC East lead against struggling Dolphins
‘Tua Tagovailoa has proven time and again that he’s not capable of outgunning Allen, and that’s when he had Tyreek Hill in his arsenal.
