‘Since Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier arrived, here’s where the Bills have ranked in 40-plus yards pass plays allowed: First in 2017, first in 2018, first in 2019.’

Bills’ Tre’Davious White honored by Pro Football Writers Association
‘According to analytics website Pro Football Focus, White is the only cornerback since 2006 to have played 500-plus coverage snaps and not allow a touchdown while leading the NFL in interceptions. Gilmore allowed one touchdown, to the Bills’ John Brown, in Week 16.’
Maiorana: For the most part, Buffalo Bills rookies made the grade in 2019
‘The first four picks — Ed Oliver, Cody Ford, Devin Singletary and Dawson Knox — made significant contributions to Buffalo’s 10-6, playoff-qualifying season. The last three, all taken in the sixth or seventh round — Jaquan Johnson, Darryl Johnson and Tommy Sweeney — played a combined 35 games in a variety of backup and special teams roles.’

‘Perhaps the most impressive stat that backs up White’s tremendous year is that he did not allow a single touchdown despite playing 599 coverage snaps this season.’
Keep an eye on this Bills front office member as a possible ‘prime candidate’ for Redskins GM
‘Schoen, who is Buffalo’s assistant GM, has never directly worked with Rivera — though he was a scout for the Panthers early on in his career. However, Rivera and Brandon Beane have (they overlapped from 2011 to 2016 in Carolina), and Beane is currently the Bills’ GM as well as Schoen’s boss. So, Rivera should have a very clear idea of what Schoen’s about and what his potential is, considering Rivera’s connection with the man Schoen reports to.’
State of the Bills: Running Back
‘If it wasn’t for an injury in week two which kept him out three games, Singletary would have most likely been in the Rookie of the Year conversation at the end of the season. As it was, he put up some terrific numbers in his first year as a pro, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, good for most in the entire NFL for any back with at least 150 carries, and 5th overall amongst all players. He also became the team’s featured back as the season went on, due to his impressive performances and Frank Gore’s ineffectiveness. There’s no reason Singletary won’t be the clear-cut number one back on the team headed into next season, and at only 22 years old and three years still remaining on his rookie contract, the future looks bright for both the player and position for the Bills. However, you need more than one running back in the NFL to have a fully formed offense, and the question will now become, “who joins Singleterry in the Bills backfield as the complimentary piece next season?”’
Tre’Davious White selected to All-NFL Team by PFWA
‘It’s the first such honor for White, who tied for the league lead with six interceptions this season with New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore (also chosen All-NFL and All-AFC) and the Vikings’ safety Anthony Harris (selected All-NFC).’

‘Ed Oliver displayed his pass-rushing prowess with five sacks on the interior. He started slow but came on strong in Weeks 11 to 13, recording four sacks. The Houston product plays in a rotational role, yet he’s shown the ability to line up on all three downs.’
