‘Offensive coordinator Joe Brady used big personnel more than the three-receiver set in the win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The Bills went with 11 personnel (three wideouts) on 29 plays. They used multiple tight ends and/or an extra offensive lineman on 30 plays. Josh Allen was 11 of 16 passing for 136 yards out of big personnel.’

Alan Pergament: Kevin Harlan shows he's 'got it' at end of Bills win; Trent Green 'was money' throughout
‘The golden throat of CBS play-by-play announcer Kevin Harlan found just the right words after Tyler Bass’ record 61-yard field goal with 5 seconds left in the game gave the Bills the victory. Harlan’s enthusiasm on key plays is exceeded by few play-by-play announcers.’
Bills may be without key WR vs Colts, defensive lineman placed on IR: Injury updates

The Bills look to keep rolling on the road: What to know about their Week 10 matchup
‘Still, for the Colts’ offense to hum, it needs to be effective on the ground. That was certainly the case when Richardson was playing, and it remains so with Flacco under center. The Colts were not able to get Jonathan Taylor rolling against the Vikings (13 carries, 48 yards) and he’ll need to be much better against a Bills defense that plays the pass well, but is not at all strong against the run. The Bills allow the seventh-worst yards per run average (4.8) and have given up 35 runs of at least 10 yards, fifth-most in the NFL. Offensive balance will be imperative for the Colts, and Taylor is the key to that.’
Buffalo Bills pass rusher needs surgery, going on IR after wrist injury vs. Dolphins

Bills PFF Week 9 grades: Buffalo posts elite pass blocking grade in win over Dolphins
‘Buffalo’s offensive line did a great job of keeping Josh Allen upright on Sunday. Allen was hit three times in the win and sacked just once on his 39 pass attempts. In the past, Allen has evaded much contact using his athleticism. This season, however, the offensive line has done a fantastic job of blocking and PFF recognized the unit for their play on Sunday. Buffalo’s pass blocking received a grade of 91.8 in their overall grades for the week.’
Buffalo Bills fan upset when security says he can’t wear Trump shirt at game (video)
‘A clip shared by the Erie County GOP on X (formerly Twitter) shows a security guard telling an unidentified fan sitting in the front row at Highmark Stadium that political clothing is not allowed.

Upon Further Review: Normally impatient Dolphins nearly piece together Bills puzzle
‘Miami’s 149 yards rushing marked the fifth consecutive time it has surpassed 100 yards against the Bills and the Dolphins have lost all those games. In fact, the one time Mike McDaniel’s Dolphins have defeated the Bills since he became head coach was when they ran for 41 yards in 2022. That’s because, despite averaging 5.6 yards per carry in those losses, there has always been a moment when McDaniel gets skittish, feels the pressure and gets away from the run. Though quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has hit 250 yards passing and threw six interceptions once in those games.’
Bills defying preseason projections by once again asserting themselves as class of AFC East
‘The answers should become clearer over a six-week stretch — including a bye week — before the Bills close with two meetings against New England and another against the Jets. With one win against an opponent entering Week 10 with a winning record (Arizona), and losses at Baltimore (6-3) and Houston (6-3), Buffalo enters the meat of its schedule.’

The NFL flexed the Cincinnati Bengals-Los Angeles Chargers game to “Sunday Night Football” that same week, meaning CBS will have a standalone national game in Week 11.’
Bills’ Bond On and Off the Field Paying Dividends
‘“I understand why you’re asking it,” McDermott says. “Through the natural flow of business in the NFL, guys come and go. To me, big picture here, it’s really about more than football, with the relationships you’re able to build through football. This business is tough. It’s transactional at some points. We try our best to make it more transformational here to the best of our abilities. But that transactional piece is undefeated.’
