‘Josh Allen’s doubters took a big hit today. After the loss to the Jets in Week 1, there were a lot of people second guessing the Bills quarterback. He followed that up with a decent game in a Week 2 win over the Raiders but the doubters were left saying he needed to be more of “game manager.” The Bills won in Week 3 but “It’s just the Commanders” became the naysayer’s rallying cry. Allen torched the previously undefeated Dolphins, going 21-25 for 320 yards and accounting for five total touchdowns. The Bills offense looked smooth in the win, scoring on eight of their first nine possessions. The Jets game seems like a distant memory.’

Leonard Floyd, a late-offseason addition, is early-season impact for Bills pass rush
‘“Floyd gives them an element of jumping around the line that they lose with Von being out of the lineup,” the assistant coach said. “That’s what makes Floyd tough to go against. He’s been a developed pass rusher since he got into the league. He’s light (240 pounds) but he uses it to his advantage. The jump-around guys are the ones that tight ends and tackles fear more than the straight-strength guys.”’
