‘It’s not realistic to expect this type of production out of Buffalo’s defensive linemen weekly, but it’s a positive step for the unit.’

Josh Allen dominates Miami Dolphins in Buffalo Bills’ 37-20 win (Week 11 report card)
‘Cole Beasley continues to be underutilized, but he caught all four of his targets on Sunday for 38 yards. Buffalo needs to get him more involved in the offense.’
NFL Week 12 odds, over/under: Buffalo Bills a slight favorite over Denver Broncos
‘Despite coming off of their seventh loss of the season, Las Vegas oddsmakers do not view Denver as a big underdog at New Era Field. Opening odds from The Action Network via Westgate Las Vegas Superbook have Buffalo as a 4.5 point favorite on Sunday. In addition to being a small favorite, oddsmakers see Sunday’s game as a defensive battle. The over/odd total of 35.5 is the lowest in the league for Week 12.’
Six things to know about Bills’ first 7-3 start since 1999; Buffalo holds firm in WC race with win over Miami
‘Aside from the numbers, Allen’s performance on Sunday also passed the eye test. He was able to throw from the pocket, throw under pressure and throw on the run – all with accuracy. The highlight of Allen’s day was when he connected on a deep laser down the sideline, which turned into a 40-yard touchdown to John Brown.’
Sullivan: Bills out of cupcakes as schedule takes a turn
‘It’s hard to quibble with 7-3, regardless of how you got there. But six of the seven wins have come against defenses currently ranked in the bottom 10 of the league. They haven’t beaten a quarterback of any consequence, unless you consider Fitzpatrick elite.’
Allen’s best game in his young career gives Bills easy win
‘Were there still flaws? Yes, like giving up an onside kick and a 101-yard kickoff return touchdown. But those flaws never took away from the feeling that the result was already in-hand. The Bills were the better team before the game began and they finally played like it, especially at the quarterback position. That’s a good sign for next week, as Buffalo returns home to host another team they should be able to beat, the Denver Broncos, in Week 12.’
Buffalo Bills Week 11 Report Card: Josh Allen, John Brown leads Bills to 37-20 win over Dolphins
‘Josh Allen played his best game of the 2019 season. He threw for 256 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 56 yards and a score. He protected the ball and made some great plays. The 40-yard touchdown pass to Brown was a bullet down the sideline. It was one of his best throws of the season. His 36-yard run off a run-pass option showcased his dual-threat ability. After an average outing against the Browns, Allen bounced back with a great performance against the lowly Dolphins.’

‘Maybe 100, he guessed. Fifty, “for sure.”’

Arrow Up/Arrow Down – Bills at Dolphins
‘Brown continued his outstanding season, and getting an Arrow Up ever single week from me. He had his third-highest catch total in a game with 9 and his third-most yards with 137. He scored 2 TDs. Brown was a problem for the Dolphins secondary all afternoon and Allen did a great job of targeting him as much as he could. He had the second-most targets of his career with 14 balls thrown to him.’

‘Allen now has 13 touchdowns and 7 interceptions on the season for 2,165 yards. On the ground, Allen has seven rushing touchdowns and 331 yards. 20 total touchdowns in 10 games. Not great, but not terrible either for a player who is still developing.’
