Tremaine Edmunds was a major weapon for Bills’ defense in Miami

‘“I think it’s doing a lot for us on defense, getting a lot of guys free, giving the offense a different look they may have not seen,” Edmunds said on the coaches using him as a blitzer. “We do a good job across the board. (The blitzes) wouldn’t be successful if the other guys didn’t do their job as well. We executed pretty well.”’

Ty Nsekhe’s injury likely to push rookie Cody Ford into full-time role on Bills’ offensive line

‘“You take it as it is, you know? If it happens to be where he’s seriously hurt, which I would hate for that to happen, I’ve just got to step up and take more of a role than I am now, if that’s the case,” Ford said. “Like I said, hate for him to go down like that. Especially one of the O-line guys, you know, we ride for each other. Seeing him get carted off, we had to make a statement. We’ve got our guy’s back and we’ve got to go do this for him.”’

Up-tempo attack had Bills’ offense rolling against Miami

‘“I think some of the no-huddle stuff,” offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said, explaining the reduced substitutions. “Again, there are a couple of ways to game plan. Obviously, you’d like to try to use as many guys as you can use, but if you’re going up-tempo and rhythm offense, the changing of personnel packages slows things down. So, when you’re getting positive yards, whether that be in the run game or plays in the passing game, you don’t want to give the defense an opportunity to substitute.”‘

Bills’ Josh Allen taking what Dolphins’ defense gave him is sign of progress

‘Allen is a player whose skill set does not perfectly fit into the definition of a quarterback. He is an unconventional talent, possessing an abnormally strong arm and an uncanny ability to run. He is growing, learning, improving with each new experience and should he continue to evolve, will lead the Bills into the playoffs.’

John Brown continues to deliver for Buffalo Bills in passing game

‘Brown came to the Bills as a free agent last of-fseason, signing a three-year, $27 million contract, $10 million of which was guaranteed, to be the Bills’ No. 1 receiver. The speedy 29-year-old has been everything Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane could have hoped for as he now has 56 receptions for 817 yards and four touchdowns while leading the Bills in every category and entered Monday night leading the AFC in receiving yards.’

Bills’ Offense Has New Look Following Daboll’s Close Shave

‘Drawing a big laugh, Daboll allowed for a moment of levity Monday. It was a welcome switch from the recent past, when Daboll spent his weekly news conference being second-guessed over an offense that lacked finish and explosiveness despite Buffalo’s winning record.’

Frazier: We’re seeing the evolution of Tremaine Edmunds

‘“Very proud of him,” head coach Sean McDermott said of Edmunds during his weekly Monday press conference. “I mentioned at length about and talked at length about his youth. Just [in his] second year, middle of the second year, Josh [Allen] the same way and sometimes you forget that. But to see him take ownership and stand up and address his teammates, very mature type of approach and then he backed it up with his play.”’

Bills playoff picture: Who’s the real concern?

‘The Bills can only tie Houston for conference record. The Texans have played just one game of five against a common opponent (NE, BAL, TEN, DEN), but seem likely to at least be 2-3. Buffalo would have to beat the Pats or Ravens to better that mark. Strength of victory would certainly belong to Houston. It’s difficult to see a path to a Bills win here.’

Quiet inspiration: John Brown produces big plays and motivates youth in Miami

‘“We wanted to try to feed him the ball and it didn’t really matter who was out there,” said Josh Allen of Miami’s cover assignments. “We didn’t care. We were just trying to find a way to get our playmakers the ball. We did a good job of that. Coach Daboll called an amazing game, so I’m happy for him and happy for how we performed.”’

Eric Wood | How new wrinkles on offense and an aggressive defensive game plan led to a Bills victory

‘We saw some new wrinkles out of the offense as well, a reverse pass that traveled more than 20 yards in the air, a great cover 2 shot to John Brown down the sideline. Brown talked about it after the game and said Allen had alerted him that if they got that coverage again, he was going to try to hit the hole. Before the ball was snapped, it looked like Allen checked to that. That’s a great job by the quarterback and blazer of a throw.’

Bills Today | Pushing the tempo produced these benefits for the Buffalo offense

‘Part of going up tempo led to the Bills using mainly 11 personnel packages with one running back and one tight end. It also saw a bump in snaps for five key playmakers on Buffalo’s offense. John Brown, Cole Beasley and Isaiah McKenzie split the wide receiver sets while Devin Singletary lined up in the backfield and Dawson Knox was the tight end.’
