‘“I think now that I’ve been able to make a play or two I feel pretty comfortable with where I’m at,” Knox said. “The timing between me and Josh, we’ve gotten on the same page. Me and Matt even at the end of the last game were able to connect a few times. I just run every route as if the ball’s coming to me. When it does, I try to make the best of the opportunity and get as many yards as I can.”’

It might not be a ‘must-win,’ but Bills better take care of business vs. Titans

Buffalo Bills at Tennessee Titans in NFL Week 5: Will Josh Allen or Matt Barkley start at QB? (7 things to watch)
‘If Allen cannot go, Buffalo will look for Matt Barkley to lead them to a road win. Barkley was terrific in his one start last season against the Jets on the road, but Tennessee’s defense is a lot better than the Jets unit he saw one year ago. The veteran quarterback is more than capable of leading Buffalo to a win, but he would likely struggle to evade pressure in the backfield if Tennessee can beat the Bills’ offensive line.’
