‘“You never can relax,” he said. “It’s the NFL so we have to bring our A game every week … no game is going to be easy. You can’t look at anybody’s record … bring it every week and come ready to work.”’

John Brown looking every bit like a No. 1 receiver for Bills
‘After making five catches for 83 yards during Sunday’s 31-21 win over the Miami Dolphins at New Era Field, Brown has 473 receiving yards in the Bills’ 5-1 start. That puts him on pace for 1,261 yards this season. If he gets there, he’d be the first Bills receiver to top 1,200 yards in a season since Lee Evans had 1,292 yards in 2006.’
Bills’ pass protectors took a step forward against Miami pressure tactics
‘The Bills faced the heaviest blitz package they have seen this season and handled it well. That at least should give a little bit of pause to upcoming defensive coordinators.’
A 5-1 start ‘feels good,’ but Sean McDermott knows Bills are ‘not where we need to be’
‘“We’ve got a lot of work to do this week,” McDermott said. “A lot of things as you saw in the game that we’ve got to get cleaned up this week as we move forward and look to try and play better football against a good opponent this week in Philadelphia.”’
Lorenzo Alexander had biggest workload in 3 years for Bills’ defense
‘Alexander played 70 of 73 defensive snaps in Sunday’s 31-21 victory over the Miami Dolphins. He had been averaging 31 snaps over the first five games, and it was his highest total since a game against Cincinnati in the middle of the 2016 season.’
Dolphins’ Bobby McCain says he regrets incidents with Bills fans
‘Dylan Wentland, 28, of West Seneca said he heard the boy shout, “You’re irrelevant!” as the Miami players walked through the tunnel to the field for warmups. That’s when McCain, 26, turned around and threatened to spit in the boy’s face, Wentland said.’
Josh Allen’s poise in not making bad decisions for Bills continues to grow
‘Allen took another developmental step forward Sunday. He was calm and decisive, making solid decisions and careful, accurate throws. It would have been easy for an immature quarterback to begin to press as the Bills headed into the fourth quarter trailing the Dolphins 14-9. Allen could have thrown the ball up into the middle of the field when he was being sacked, but he didn’t. He could have forced the football down the field and into coverage, but instead threw it away on a crucial third-and-10, which resulted in a successful field goal.’
Catalon impresses, Lofton expresses weird but entertaining takes in Bills’ broadcast
‘Just as Miami quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick played like the Fitzpatrick that Bills fans came to know and love in his four years here, Lofton was Lofton as an analyst.’
Questions remain, but Bills quarterback Josh Allen played his best when it mattered most
‘That drive showed the promise that Allen possesses in that right arm of his. After four runs and a short completion to Brown moved the Bills away from their own goal line, Allen went to work, completing three straight passes as the third quarter came to a close.’
Dolphins’ Bobby McCain speaks on spitting incident with Buffalo Bills fan
‘“I regret the incident that happened with me and the fan yesterday after the game.,” McCain said. “I wish I would’ve handled myself better. I spoke with Coach Flores today. We’re on the same page. We’re looking forward to Pittsburgh and going through preparation,”’
First NFL sack leaves Oliver unsatisfied; Bills’ rookie defensive tackle still looking for ‘killer’ sack
‘“I know he’s not the type of guy who cares about the stats and he wants to do his job,” said Allen. “You know ‘D’ tackles aren’t usually the ones to get the sacks but it’s usually the guys who are getting rough on the ends so he’s a young guy who is still learning, he’s got a lot of juice, a lot of energy. He’s going to be really good in this league for a long time and I appreciate how hard he works and I know everyone on the team loves having him here.”’
Flores says Miami disciplining Bobby McCain for allegedly threatening to spit on 13-year-old
‘“He and I have a pretty open dialogue,” Flores said. “I heard his side of the story and it’s unfortunate. I feel like he needed to handle that situation better. We’re going to discipline Bobby for that. We’ll handle that discipline internally, but situations like this — we’ve got to handle those situations and I would say, before I say that, we take those very seriously. There’s a standard that we’re trying to set here of professionalism, of the way we go about things. We need to live up to that standard and we’re going to, so I talked to Bobby and, again, I heard his side of the story, but we need to handle situations better really on the field.”’
