‘Allen owns an 11-2 record against the Dolphins in the regular season. That’s the most wins he has against any NFL franchise.’
Bills may have NFL's best cornerback tandem
‘One of the biggest reasons why Buffalo had any sort of disruptiveness defensively in Week 1 was because of the cornerback tandem of Rasul Douglas and Christian Benford.

Bills get huge break by not placing star defender on IR

Allen: 'I'm very proud of the guys how they're handling it'
‘”You know, you look at the stat sheet, I don’t, I don’t know what our numbers were, but I know we were really low in time with possession, and we were probably really low in total yards, but still managed to put up 31 points, and that, that means your defense is doing something, right? So they had our back tonight, and we’re going to need them going forward. And I’m just very proud of how guys stepped up into their to their roles, and they played together. You know, when you play together like that, you’re typically going to have good results.”‘
McDermott proud of defense stepping up when their number was called
‘”These guys work hard, so good things happen when you work hard, and sometimes the ball finds you like that.” McDermott said postgame. “And again, it was a good team win. So all three phases. It’s not about one person, but again, all three phases factored in the win.”‘
Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Dolphins
‘While we don’t know the specific diagnosis or extent just yet, a pectoral injury can be serious and longer-term. DaQuan Jones missed twelve games last year with his torn pec. If the Bills lose Bernard for that length of time, along with Matt Milano already out long-term, it will be a significant blow.’
Bills 'Squish the Fish' in Thursday night win over Dolphins

Opinion: Simon: Bills Defense Taught A Master Class
‘They did all of that with a secondary that included two sixth round draft picks(Christian Benford and Damar Hamlin and two undrafted free agents(Cam Lewis and Ja’Marcus Ingram). The Bills find talent wherever and whenever they can and then coaches develop those players on the job. That’s how the best teams in the NFL keep winning.’
The demise of the Buffalo Bills was greatly exaggerated
‘In a short week, the Bills rolled into Hard Rock Stadium and dominated from start to finish. The first drive of the game started with a Ja’marus Ingram interception that eventually turned into James Cook’s first touchdown of the night. Ingram added another interception later in the game and returned it for a touchdown.’
