‘“He’s got all-world talent and all-world ability,” White said. “So it’s going to take the whole defense to try to slow him down. We’re going to depend on the rush to get there. We’re going to depend on our linebackers to help us. It’s going to be a total team thing. It’s not going to be a one man on one thing.”’

Roth: It’s showtime for 2018 NFL draft classmates Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield
‘“He’s a very competitive dude and he’s gonna be bringing that fire on Sunday,’’ Allen said. “At the same time as much as people want to talk about that type of matchup, I’m not playing against Baker, it’s the Bills against the Browns and our offense against their defense and vice versa.

NFL Executive: Buffalo Bills’ Sean McDermott doing the most with the least
‘One reason the Bills are winning is due to Sean McDermott. Since joining Buffalo, McDermott has been able to keep Buffalo in games thanks to his defense. After sneaking into the playoffs in 2017, McDermott was able to win six games in year two despite having to start multiple quarterbacks and being near the bottom of the league in most offensive categories. In year three, Buffalo’s defense remains a top-10 unit while the offense is progressing, albeit slower than the team would probably like.’

‘“He’s doing a great job for the Bills. I feel like he’s an elusive runner — one-cut guy, powerful guy,” Browns linebacker Mack Wilson said. “He can do it all, basically, and him and Frank Gore together, that’s a good two backs they have in the backfield. You know they’re going to try to establish the run game with those two guys and we’ve just got to come in ready and be prepared.”’

‘”He’s done a really good job with that. He’s worked hard in the classroom, he’s worked hard on the grass, and I believe he’s also doing a good job of taking what the defense is giving him at times and also using his feet. So, it’s been a good blend. I think he’s developed and his growth is visible, very visible, from week-to-week, and this week will be another step.”‘
