‘“I think it was a little bit of bye week rust and a little bit of thinking too much,” said Oliver, who recorded his first career sack, albeit on a wide receiver who was attempting a pass on a trick play. “When you’re in the rhythm of football it’s kind of like second nature. When you interrupt that rhythm with seven days off or however many days off, you (have to) get back in the flow.”‘

‘On just the second play of the game, the Miami Dolphins rookie was ejected against the Buffalo Bills. The ejection came after Wilkins threw a punch at fellow rookie Cody Ford following the play.’

‘The All-22 footage is going to be pretty telling on Levi Wallace’s performance on Sunday. Was it a matter of Ryan Fitzpatrick simply putting the ball on his wide receivers or Wallace struggling in coverage? We’ll know soon enough.’

‘It became apparent how important Matt Milano is to the Bills defense on Sunday. The Bills linebackers did not look nearly as impressive as they have in previous matchups. Lorenzo Alexander led Buffalo in total tackles (10) while adding one pass defensed and one quarterback hit. Tremaine Edmunds had eight tackles, including a tackle for loss, and one pass defensed in the win. Maurice Alexander, however, really struggled in place of Milano.’

‘Foster was expected to return to active status after rehabbing a groin injury. Bills quarterback Josh Allen even said during the week that there are “absolutely” going to be opportunities for Foster going forward after Zay Jones was traded. But the way receiver Duke Williams played in his first game action against the Titans has obviously made enough of an impression on the coaching staff to be the team’s primary No. 2 receiver.’

‘Philadelphia is set to face-off with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, but early odds have the Bills as an early favorite in Week 8.’
