Matt Milano was underrated standout in fourth quarter
‘Milano’s strong play carried the unit. Tremaine Edmunds didn’t make any splash plays but was sound overall in his pass drops. He had good coverage downfield early on tight end C.J.

Bills’ defensive tackle Harrison Phillips to miss rest of 2019 season with torn ACL

Josh Allen gives uneven performance in Bills vs. Bengals
‘It was evident from the beginning of the game that Allen was not seeing the defense as clearly as he had in his previous two games. Allen struggled throughout and tried to do too much. He was pressing, perhaps overly motivated by the home crowd. But Allen’s dynamic plays ultimately outweighed the negative ones.’

The film doesn’t lie: Bills’ LB Tremaine Edmunds didn’t have a good game against Bengals
‘We all expected big strides from the 21-year-old in his second NFL season, but in these first three games, Edmunds has been a ghost. He has 19 tackles, only one for lost yardage, and two pass breakups.’
Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Harrison Phillips out for season with knee injury

You know, I’m very early on my film process at this point, but what they’re doing and how they’re doing it – they’re playing really well with a bunch of good players. (The Patriots have) done some really, really cool things on defense.”’
Buffalo Bills DT Harrison Phillips suffered torn ACL vs. Bengals
‘Phillips suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter and was seen in the tunnel postgame getting taken into a training room. The injury happened on the first play of the final drive after the Bills had taken the lead. Phillips went to cut inside on his pass rush and just collapsed and seemed to know immediately that the injury had taken place.’
