‘Catalon’s enthusiasm level was first class during all the big plays, including Josh Allen’s missile to Gabe Davis for a touchdown and his scramble for another touchdown; A.J. Epenesa’s pick six; and every big play by Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard in a career game.’

Bills to face an offense on historic pace as Dolphins come to town in Week 4: What to know
‘Right now, Miami’s offense is unstoppable. With Tua Tagovailoa firing on all cylinders, the Dolphins have piled up 1,651 yards, the most-ever for a team through three weeks, while their 130 points are the second-most behind only the 1968 Dallas Cowboys.’
Buffalo Bills dominate in the trenches vs. Commanders (Encouraged/worried)
‘Ken Dorsey is doing a fine job as the team’s offensive coordinator, but he continues to baffle me with his play calls on 4th and 1 or 4th and inches.’
Buffalo Bills grades vs Commanders: Terrel Bernard has dominant showing
‘Bernard was a powerhouse and proved why he was chosen to replace Tremaine Edmunds. His stat line does the talking. The 6-foot-1 linebacker led the team with seven tackles, a fumble recovery, an interception and two sacks — which made him the first to accomplish the feat since 2007, when it was done by Chicago Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher.’
From best day to worst day? Buffalo Bills DE pays up for lost bet
‘While Epenesa was likely still on cloud nine on Monday, a few of his teammates brought him back to earth a bit as he had to pay up for losing a bet. Epenesa made a friendly wager on Saturday’s Iowa-Penn State football game. The defensive end wagered that the Hawkeyes, the team he played for in college, would defeat a Nittany Lions team that Ryan Bates, Connor McGovern and DaQuan Jones played for in their collegiate days. Penn State would win the game 31-0.’
Terrel Bernard's splash plays allowing for smooth transition as Bills middle linebacker
‘It’s too early to claim Bernard is better than his predecessor, Tremaine Edmunds, who was a Pro Bowler with the Bills that signed a record-setting contract with the Chicago Bears during the offseason. But it already seems that Bernard has a trait that Edmunds, to the frustration of many, never developed. Edmunds ran sideline to sideline, racking up tackles or taking on blockers, but rarely created turnovers. He only had one season with two interceptions, two sacks was a season-high and he never recovered a fumble in five seasons.’
Bills have little time to enjoy rout over Commanders with high-scoring Dolphins up next
‘The difference might come down to defense, where the Bills appear to have an edge.’
McDermott says Dolphins offense is 'almost revolutionary'
‘”They have unreal team speed on the offensive side. That’s really where my focus has been the last hour or two,” said McDermott during his weekly Zoom call with the local media on Monday. “It seems like they added to it this offseason.”‘
Opinion: Ophelia, what went wrong?
‘Howell’s tendency to hold onto the ball a little bit longer was not a great idea against this Bills defense. The third quarter started with a nice looking Washington drive, but then the Bills’ pass rush got to Howell again, helping force a third interception. This time, it came from cornerback Tre’Davious White in the end zone.’
Bills TE Dawson Knox supports children fighting cancer with every touchdown, reception
‘Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox supports little fighters in Buffalo by backing the P.U.N.T. Pediatric Cancer Collaborative. For every touchdown catch he hauls in this season, he’s donating $1,000 to the cause, along with $100 for every reception.’
How much are Bills vs Dolphins tickets for Sunday at Highmark Stadium?
‘Prices on Ticketmaster are mostly starting in the $260 range for 300-level seats, with fees included. Save for a few in the end zone, you won’t find many lower-level seats for under $300. Same deal on StubHub.’
Bills emerging star on defense: Terrell Bernard looks to turn the tide against red-hot Dolphins
‘We also didn’t see much of him last season, but all of a sudden, Bernard has stepped in and is making a huge difference for this defense.’
Bernard emerging as playmaker on Bills defense
‘”I think I’ve said it from the beginning of the year, this is a guy who just seems like he’s always around the ball,” safety Jordan Poyer said. “Great instincts, commands the defense. He made some huge plays today — some plays that just kept our momentum going, and he’s going to continue to make plays for this defense. Great player.”‘
Terrel Bernard follows up Week 2 with dominant game at Commanders
‘“We knew that TB was a good football player and he’s gotten off to a good start,” McDermott said. “We’re just going in a week for and he’s off to a good start. I think that’s the key is he continues to play and grow and learn all the while, and that his play improves each and every week as he embraces that kind of mindset.”’
Bills coaching staff quickly turning their attention to the undefeated Dolphins
‘”It seems like they added to it this offseason, right?,” McDermott noted. “So, very good skill. Tua is throwing the ball extremely well. And their schematics are almost revolutionary in what they do. Coach (Mike) McDaniel is very creative and does a lot of things to get you out of position on defense.”‘
