Josh Allen’s ‘best overall game’ complements another Bills defensive gem

‘”I think, you take away one throw, that was the best overall game I’ve played so far,” Allen said. “So there’s progress there, trusting the five guys in front of me, trusting the receivers to go get open, I felt comfortable in the pocket. And our defense, again, played outstanding. That’s something we know they’re going to do, week in and week out.”‘

Bills’ Duke Williams supports Zay Jones after game-winning TD in NFL debut

‘“Someone who has came through so much and has worked his tail off to be in this position,” Jones said, “and then have it pay off, and being able to celebrate with his teammates, everyone here is proud of him. It was an awesome thing to see. You can’t say enough about a guy who’s really done everything right. He’s really deserving of it. The guy, he’s a great football player and everyone’s really excited for him.”’

Bills’ defense continues to raise the bar in win over Titans

‘“We’re built for this,” defensive tackle Jordan Phillips said. “Week in, week out, you guys see the same thing every week. It’s just time for the world to see it. We’re finally starting to get the respect we deserve, but we’re going to keep going and try to do what we do.”’

Timely play calls, big special teams play contribute to Bills’ win

‘A week after getting an “F” grade, Sean McDermott and Co. responded with a strong performance. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll dialed up a few impressive plays, including the Smith touchdown, McKenzie’s long gain and Allen’s first-down run that allowed the team to run out the clock. It’s a credit to the coaching staff that the players who came into the game as injury replacements didn’t miss a beat.’

Bills survive a slugfest to beat Titans as Duke Williams rose up when his moment arrived

‘“It meant a lot,” Williams said following Buffalo’s 14-7 victory over the Titans that sends the Bills into their bye week with a 4-1 record. “It’s a long ride, a lot of people don’t know my journey. All I can do is thank God, my teammates, thank everyone around me, my family, they supported me a lot. I’m overwhelmed, there’s so much emotion going through my mind right now. I’m just thankful for the opportunity.”’

Bills’ Jordan Phillips, who was ‘terror on inside’ vs. Titans, a critical piece of elite defense

‘Phillips called his shot and went out and delivered. He sacked Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota three times to help lift the Bills to 4-1 for the first time since 2011. It’s the first time in Phillips career — high school, college or the NFL – that he’s finished a game with three sacks. The last Bills player to accomplish the feat was Lorenzo Alexander in 2016. All three of Phillips’ sacks came in the first half. Former defensive end Mario Williams was the last Bills player (2013) to do the same.’
