Two Bills Drive

‘Trainers were able to quickly stop the bleeding – something the home team never could do, at least not on the scoreboard – and the Bills cruised to a 30-10 road win, improving to 2-0 on the season and holding onto their early lead in the AFC East.’

‘“We’ve had multiple times where we’ve come in here and said, ‘Yeah, we won, but we started slow and they got the first points,’ ” Bills edge rusher A.J. Epenesa said his locker stall Sunday afternoon in MetLife Stadium. “Starting fast is a huge point of emphasis for us.”’

‘“Oh, well, it was my first play being made back in Bills blue,” White said after the game. “So, it’s something to (expletive) celebrate.”’

‘Logue’s work ethic was relentless. He never took a snap off during practice and looked determined to make the 53-man roster. Though Logue landed on the practice squad, he showed Sunday in the Bills’ 30-10 win over the Jets that he’s a different player than the last time he was on the field for them in the regular season.’

‘The Bills have a short week to get ready to host the 0-2 Miami Dolphins. The Bills will wait to see if they can get back nickel cornerback Taron Johnson (quadriceps) or defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle), who had to sit out Sunday. But the defense proved it can win big without those two starters. Defensive end Joey Bosa stepped up big with two forced fumbles. The Bills have won the turnover margin in back-to-back weeks, and they will look to continue that streak against the hapless Dolphins, who started with an embarrassing defeat to the Colts and played better against New England on Sunday but still lost 33-27.’

‘Torrence, the Buffalo Bills’ right guard, planned to drive both of his hands into Jets edge rusher Michael Clemons with enough force to push his opponent toward the right sideline and create an open lane in the middle of the field for Allen to run for a big game. If the Jets were in man coverage, they were toast.’

‘Fields could do absolutely nothing through the air, finishing 3 of 11 for just 27 yards. Old friend Tyrod Taylor went 7 of 11 for 56 yards and a garbage-time touchdown after Fields left with a concussion. The Bills sacked Fields three times, with Joey Bosa and DaQuan Jones bringing him down. Zion Logue and Greg Rousseau shared the other sack. Cole Bishop also had a sack of Taylor. The Bills defended three passes – one each from Logue, Rousseau and Dorian Williams. The Bills limited the Jets to 154 yards of offense, the fewest on the road in a game since 1990 by a Buffalo defense. The Jets did not convert a single third down. The Bills have only done that twice since 1991, with the other time also being against the Jets in the 2023 season.’

‘I have all of these games – a lifetime of wins, losses, and a lot of heartache – jumbled in my head. All of that came into play with a split-second decision to walk out of Highmark Stadium on that Sunday night. Would I have stayed if I knew the outcome? Sure. Would I have left if someone told me leaving the stadium at that very moment would secure a win? Absolutely.’
