‘“Our new players that are playing this year that have never played against Lamar, it’ll be an adjustment for them,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “And then just trying to get them to understand the techniques that you have to use and how on-point you have to be. And you’re never going to stop a player like (Jackson). He’s just too good. And you just hope that you can win more than you lose in terms of the plays. But they’re just so powerful. And then he’s just so explosive.”’

Upon Further Review: Bills receivers prove they can separate, Joe Brady mixes in motion to make it easy
‘A big key to Buffalo’s success was getting the necessary time to throw. After having more than 2.5 seconds to throw on 22 of 42 attempts in the first two games, Allen had 19 such attempts against the Jaguars, allowing some longer routes to develop, as three of his four touchdown passes came on throws that traveled more than 10 yards in the air.’

Bills rookie receiver Keon Coleman overcame a 1st-quarter benching to score 1st career touchdown
‘“It meant a lot. It meant I paid for the mistake that I made, and I had to stay locked in on the game,” Coleman told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “And when the ball gets called to go to you, do your job, make the play and keep pushing.”’
Josh Allen's glowing remarks about Bills teammates raise eyebrows
‘”I understand that the guys in that room understand that, but at the same time, the approach that these guys have had of working hard and putting their head down, and when they get the ball, they get the ball, and when they don’t, they’re doing everything they can to help somebody else get the ball and break them free. So, I guess we’ll find out.”‘

Bills' Josh Allen clarifies perceived dig at former teammates
‘”I know there’s a lot of people talking out there, again, I’m not trying to tear down anybody,” Allen said on Wednesday. “I’ve loved everybody that I’ve played with, and you don’t have to tear other people down to build each other up. And we’re building each other up right now and that’s all we’re trying to do and trying to stay together as a team. We’re really caring about each other and everybody in this building’s got that feeling.”‘
Josh Allen Clarifies Comment That Was Perceived As a Jab at Stefon Diggs
‘”I know there’s a lot of people talking out there, again, I’m not trying to tear down anybody,” Allen said. “I’ve loved everybody that I’ve played with, and you don’t have to tear other people down to build each other up. And we’re building each other up right now and that’s all we’re trying to do and trying to stay together as a team. We’re really caring about each other and everybody in this building’s got that feeling.”‘
Josh Allen is tired of answering Stefon Diggs questions
‘”You know what I mean,” Allen said. “I love 14 [Diggs]. I still do, but everyone wants to keep making this thing a thing and we’re so focused on what’s going on inside of our building and that’s the only thing we’re caring about right now.”‘
Bills don't need to rush injured defensive stars back into lineup
‘And while fans would love to see Bernard and Johnson back, their defense has shown they can more than hold their own while they await the return of their stars. Ja’Marcus Ingram has been fantastic in place of Johnson, picking off two passes and having a pick-six against the Dolphins. Dorian Williams and Baylon Spector have been very good replacements in the middle of the field, and the Bills have the best cornerback tandem in football with Christian Benford and Rasul Douglas both playing out of their minds. Buffalo doesn’t need to rush this, especially because you want to make sure everyone is healthy for January, not October.’
Josh Allen sets another NFL record
‘Allen 23-of-30 for 263 yards and four touchdowns in the Bills’ 47-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the first time since 2007 that a quarterback threw four first-half touchdown passes in the first half of a Monday night game – Ben Roethlisberger was the last to do so against the Baltimore Ravens.’
First injury report released for Bills and Ravens
‘For the Bills, cornerback Taron Johnson and linebacker Terrel Bernard have already been ruled out of the Sunday Night Football contest and did not practice on Wednesday as the team held a walk-through practice.’
Josh Allen named AFC Offensive Player of the Week
‘Allen became the first NFL player with 200 plus passing yards and four plus passing touchdowns in a first half since when he did it himself against Pittsburgh in 2022. Allen also became the first quarterback in NFL history to complete 75 percent of his passes throw for four plus touchdowns without taking a sack, and leading his team in rushing yards.’
Opinion: Kramer: Wandering Thoughts
‘It is not that the Bills have won these first three games that is impressive, it is how. First, they had to wake up from a slow start with a mix of pass and run attacks to come back and claim victory against Arizona. Four days later, they smother the Dolphins on a short week and Josh Allen doesn’t even need to lift a finger, as the defense and the run game did nearly all the work. Finally, after ten days off, Allen wanted in on the dominance. Allen and the air attack could do no wrong, as they put a hapless Jaguars team into the dirt.’
